Well unfortunately people in this age will be people. I think that it is especially difficult to establish an identity in grade school that is not really accepted by a majority of the students. However, I think that if people are truly your friends, they shouldn't care about what you are, or suddenly stop liking you because you believe you are gothic.
There is an ongoing debate as to what "goth" actually is, as most people think of the ever so popular stereotypes right away. If you find yourself engulfed in the gothic subculture, find extreme interest in many of the topics discussed here, etc. then you may consider calling yourself gothic. However, I, nor anyone else, can truly say what you are. It is you who must take a minute to look at yourself and truly think about it.
In order for stereotypes to be cleared up, and for minorities to be accepted at my old school, I helped educate everyone about what being gothic is in my, and many others I am sure, opinion. Though some people will more often than not keep their opinion, it is easier to accept something that you understand. If you think wearing black is the only thing that makes you goth then I would truthfully say "No."
"You are who you choose to be." I hope this helped a little bit, but overall I'm just trying to say that people should like you for you and not someone you aren't.

chinagrl777 reicheru343 To say the truth, I still am in middle school. But luckily I'm in 8th grade. I've been starting to wear alot of black lately, and everyone I know is asking whether or not I'm gothic, but Idk what to say. I feel like if I say yes, they'll think I'm some gay lesbian for wanting to be gothic and they will not 'like' me anymore. Please, I want serious answers on this. What exactly should I say/do? Yes, I know...this is a very cheesy topic. just say "get outta my face or ill hit u!!" or "i just like black so deal"
That's not very constructive.
Nor would it contribute in any positive way to the bad rep goths, as a whole, already have.
