Young goths?

[.+Melanthios+.]

I'm in the 10th!!!

I'd say go with morty's ideas and also, if they won't let you do boots. you could do the mary janes (the clompy ones) with funky stockings or knee highs like stripes.......it works really well for uniforms.

I agree, it is more about the attitude etc. rather than what you wear. I opt for a more emo-y look instead of the "traditional" goth (big boots and corsets and things). But I do think I have a more gothy personality; for example I like morbid things and bats and horror novels.

I've been out of school for a good 8 years now and I'm here to tell you fashion is over rated.

that aside...

I noticed one thing no one has mentioned yet, what you carry with you. I'm not sure about the rules for bags and backpacks, but personalize that if you have the option. A huge black leather camera box when gutted makes a great purse (my ex had one when i was in high school). But if you prefer a Bag, add patches, sew frills/laces/leather barbed wire (they have it in craft stores) to the bag, and silver/black sharpie drawings on it which ever will stand out better. Even carrying around a sketch book a with plenty of morbid drawing and deep writings or your favorite novel or gothic writer will help.

Good luck, and you are your own person, no matter what the system says. 3nodding

Your school sounds as bad as mine was.
I went to an all girls grammar school in a 'posh' area.
I had black hair with a pink fringe and they went mad.

Thank you Julien, Thank you.

I just graduated from University this past May, and there's nothing that makes you fit to the norm for a while like Job interviews.

That being said, I went to a Notre Dame High school. We too had strict uniform policies, the summer skirts were measured by having the girls kneel once a week to show that their skirts were only 1 inch above the knee. My Friend who naturally had Bright Orange hair was constantly told to dye it back. I understand.

That being said, I look at it from the Graduated perspective of - who in the world puts that much effort into their appearance in the morning?? Freshman year I was right in there with everyone else wearing my PJs to my 8:30, 9:55, & 11:20 classes. As said before, it takes work to Goth out properly, and who has time when you have to write a 10 page paper in 2 hours?

If you don't like the uniform you're wearing, I suggest that you think about why you're going to school there. Is it simply that your parents "want you to have a better education"? Or that the school is a better alternative to the drug and bomb-scare-tastic public high school like my local one was? Uniforms are made to level the playing field at least in appearances, even if we all know that they don't do that good of a job.
Furthermore, remember, you only have to wear the uniform from the moment classes start to the moment they end. What's that? 7:50 am - 2:30 pm? 6 hours or so? Chin up, that's not so bad. It's no three-piece suit.
And I'm going to stop now before it sounds like I'm lecturing... -.-*

If your rings are regulated, how about bracelets? Earrings? If they don't like bracelets, you can wear lots of brass-less hair ties - you can claim a reason for them. Do you wear glasses? If so, you can find some gothy-tastic frames. They wouldn't be able to chastise you for eyeglasses. If you're into chains randomly about, do you have a hard time keeping track of your keys and wallet? Attach chains to them. If there's an honest purpose to it, you should have an argument. I'm surprised the fishnet gloves would pass. Play around with your shoe laces. Wear muggle clothing under your uniform if you can. As Julien says, it's in the little things.
A friend of mine in HS pulled off the look with only her glasses, simple eye-liner, and those wire loop choker necklaces. (tell me someone else remembers those)
