Young goths?

[Nikki the Juggalette]

Neurotic Noir

I'm in year 12. I don't mind school so much. (Just the working load is killing me. Exams in 2 weeks! crying ) Most people don't care that I wander around in black. (Well.. on free dress days. We have uniforms.) I get compliments sometimes because I dress a bit differently. Not to mention the odd occasion when a group of middle age teachers came up to me, inquiring that they liked my Siouxsie shirt.

As for those with strict school dress codes, I think you just have to find a balance. The problem might not be you dressing in black but the fact you're wandering around with spiky leather collar, fishnets, black lipstick or a ton of safety pins in your jacket. It can be too much. Find a compromise. You can still look gothy without going over board. (:

In our school we've taken to wearing, eyeliner, bracelets, beads, and black nails, diff. har colors, as we are trying to find other ways to express ourselves. I still think it's crazy, and stupid, to be honest, that they put the uniforms in place for our school. but we wear black polo shirts, and studded belts, and black pants. This helps us break away, however, everyone else saw us doing this at the beginning of teh year, and now they also are wearing all black. We now wear bright a** colors to look different.

-"Sir, I believe that pocket chain is three inches longer than allowed."
-"And your skirt is three inches shorter than allowed. You believe my chain is to long, which doesn't mean that is actually is to long. You just believe it is."

People see a problem with that? ^_^

I'm graduating highschool in a little less than 2 weeks. biggrin

Natural hair colors can be extremely goth. Black, especially, but also red, blonde, and brunette. I have naturally black hair, I've never dyed it and I'm not sure I ever will.

A nice honey blonde color is beautiful for romantigoth on the weekends and functional during the week.

Hairstyling is usually more important than hair color.

As for little flares for school: Well, if they don't have a strict dress code for shoes, then I'd go all out on that front, knee high combat boots look kick a** with skirts.

I'd buy pins from your favorite bands and decorate your backpack with them, then no matter how conformist you look in your uniform, you've got a comforting little slice of "******** you" everywhere you go. biggrin




On the subject of makeup: It all depends on how lazy you are.
If you like getting up at 5 in the morning to do crazy cool makeup, then you're my hero. I myself cannot bring myself to get up at that hour for anything short of the apocalypse.

Unless I'm going out with my friends I just put a bit of black eyeliner beneath my eyes and that's my makeup. I'm laaaaazy. sweatdrop

Cat eyes are simple and gothy. Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9rgQye9WUI

Arabic eyes are darker, a bit more time consuming, but I find them quite beautiful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtCPgzgq1lg&feature=related

Raver makup is always fun too, but that's less gothy unless you have hairfalls to go with it.

One more tip: JEWELRY.

Celtic knots, ankhs, pentagrams, whatever you like. The more mystical the better in my opinion. My personal favorites are ankhs and triskeles. Rings, pendants, hair charms, anklets, toe rings, etc.

As for wearing what you want just be your self and don't over do it there's a limit in till they say "hey you anti-Christ"

I am a 10th. I suggest having a streak go from the bottom of your eye, to your cheek area. That's always awesome.

Also, another suggestion, you can order contacts over the internet that can change the color and distort the iris with images and different styles(ex. cats eyes, dead eyes, so on and so forth). Here's hoping that my information helped your situation, and that it can be resolved in a reasonable amout of time.

My school never had uniforms, but I spent much of junior and sophmore year in various "school uniforms". How's that for non-comformity?  

[infektionxx]

At the moment -- black hair, dark make-up, and baggy pants.
I find that this makes me look pretty dark.

Recently, the teachers went ape-s**t over make-up issues.
I used to wear dark-as-I-want eye make-up, and sometimes black lipstick.
Not anymore. Argh. ********.
