It's like something out of a movie. One of my little brothers drives a BMW and goes to Cal Poly, the other plays football and get's straight A's. They're both hardcore preps, and my conservative parents just don't understand how one of their kids turned out to be an eyeliner wearing, drug dealing sexual deviant.

I'm like... at least tenth in line to be black sheep of my family. Well, my mom's side anyway. My dad's side just doesn't like us for some reason, and we don't know them... except for my grandmother, who called me a goul with no maternal instinct. My brother's probably the black sheep. He's a succesful scientist that doesn't have any mental disorders besides dyslexia. My family is one big chemical imbalance, but at least we can laugh about it.

I'm definitely the black sheep in my family. All of my younger siblings play some sort of sport, but I'm heavily involved in music. Singing, composing, playing instruments. The whole nine yards. I was just never very athletic. I also tend to be the quieter one in the family. I don't ask for much. I just sit at the computer or at my keyboard and work on my music. I've got a job so I don't really need to ask for money there either. As far as things go with my parents. My dad (being a pastor of a church) hates many of the things I wear and alot of the music I listen to. I told him off on the music part, basically told him to either give up preaching and compose music, or respect musicians for their art. As far as the clothing goes, he hasn't confronted me directly about it, but has been badgering my mom about it. My mom, she's a sunday school teacher, but she doesn't really mind the music I listen to or the clothes I wear as long as I'm not out smoking weed and drinking. Though she did have a little annoying moment where she thought faeries and elves were satanic. I was like "Okay, just because this is a new age store doesn't mean it's satanic". My mom is cool about stuff like that though, it's just my dad that I have to worry about, on the odd occasion that he's actually gotten off his ass and done something other than sleep on the couch, flip through the five television channels we get or sticking his nose into various bible texts. Those are my ramblings for today.

I was labeled as such during three different events:

#1) I became Wiccan. They thought I was worshipping Satan. The folks got over it.

#2) I became Gothic. They once again thought I was worshipping Satan. The folks got over it.

#3) I became engaged to my boyfriend at age 18 and moved in with him two weeks after doing so. They began to believe my boyfriend was Satan.

They still have yet to get over this one, but they're learning to cope.

I don't really give a hell what they say about me or how I live, so it's not like I was "hurt" by their disapproval.

I think that I THINK I'm the black sheep of the family.(Probably doesn't make sense when you read it does it?) I'm pretty much diffrent from everyone else in my family. They're all devout catholics and I'm pretty much an atheist haven't stepped foot in a churcxh for over six years. Although my opinions may differ from my family's from time to time (most of the time) They still accept me for who I am and all my weird and eccentric ways.

bitter_beauty · 09-20-2005, 01:34 AM

im the black sheep because my mother is catholic and im a satanist she doesnt treats me very nicely (if u get my drift) shes a shit under my shoe and i am the new rock that crushes her...sorry about that...anywAY MY DAD IS DEAD AND MY STEPDAD IS A CUNT end of

PerhapsToast · 09-20-2005, 05:23 AM

I probably would consider myself more a black sheep than my family would consider me as such. I always get the discrimination in my family as being the "good" one because I always got halfway decent grades in school and have never done drugs and all that sort of things. Yet I feel a very real disconnect from most of my family, and in fact I don't really like most of my family to begin with. Not just parents, but siblings and other relatives too. I've always felt a bit isolated from the rest of the world.

EpItApH · 09-24-2005, 07:59 AM

I am the BLACK sheep for I wear BALCK; usually and they expect me to do otherwise.
I am the black sheep for I can go without yelling and screaming my freakin head off, for no fucking reason, with the other members of the family for atleast two freaking minutes.
I am the black sheep for I know how sick it is to abuse your children physically and mentally, and will never do so to myself when/if have kids.
I am the black sheep for many other reasons unexplainable in words, and things i cant even remember right now.
I am the black sheep because I hate them, I've always wanted to stab them while they were asleep, right through the chest; and burn the bodies.
YES, I am the black sheep

gothica1189 · 09-25-2005, 04:07 AM

I am the "black sheep" of my family, in a way. My father's side, along with my father, have completely disowned me and forgotten (are trying to forget) that I exsist in any way, shape, or form. My mother's side is pretty small but the ones that have not seen me in the past couple of years don't know who I am or what I look like for the fact I think school pictures are completely and utterly pointless. (Sorry to get off topic) I am the only person in my family that makes any sense and the only goth. My mom is cool and so is my stepdad but the rest of my family, I just don't know... *grrs*

Satan's Spawn · 09-25-2005, 04:52 AM

I try to be the black sheep cus I don't get along with my parents at all... but they're just too damn tolerant. fucking hippies >_<

only the time they thought I supported the KKK, they really got angry. I was just doing a school project ^_^

My Mums sister and her branch of the family I really don't get along with though. Fake-sweet fucks :/ but none of us really do, anyway...

Disfunction · 09-25-2005, 08:15 AM

I'm not the black sheep. I did stuff that my parents didn't agree with. I accepted atheism as the most logical religious philosophy (I suppose that's appropriate terminology). However, against that, my parents and I both heavily investigated the Buddhist faith despite all of us having been raised under the Christian way (my father is a Protestant turned agnostic and my mother is a Catholic that imbues her faith with much of the Buddhist philosophies). My father has had his struggles with depression, and even with neglectful parents. I count myself very fortunate for having been born into such a wonderful family, regardless of whether or not they've been over-zealous in their concern for me.

I do have some qualities that some might consider as making me the black sheep of the family, but I personally believe that since my parents have done everything in their power to accept me as who and what I am and what I choose to do (as they realize I have a fairly wondrous capacity for doing what is right) I am no more a black sheep than any of they. Hell, it's not like my sister and I are much different, we're just two people with similar world views on seemingly opposite ends of the social spectrum.

(-$|N-) · 09-25-2005, 02:50 PM

I am one of the black sheeps in my family for the fact I cant stand beinhg around a bunch of people who are fake to one another. They say stuff behind everyone elses backs, its so stupid. So I stoped going to family events for 3 years, however I went to last years thanks giving and it ended for me when my uncle wanting to fist fight me. He wanted to because his kids could not keep their mouth shut, and when I told them of this they got mad at me and cried to the dad. I told him exactly what I told them and smiled he went to punch me while I moved he hit the chair and fell over, I then laughed and walked up stairs and said good bye while laughing and walked out, right as I was walking out I was told to get back in so I just flipped them all off. They did not like that one bit, it was quite funny watching their response.

mortalitas incomitatus · 09-25-2005, 07:47 PM

don't you actually need a family to be the black sheep of one??

i guess i loose this one??

fallen_angel_of_resentmen · 09-26-2005, 04:36 PM

Black Sheep? more like white sheep in a black family... not being racist it took me 2 years to realize it....
I live in a foster home of all the places and the people i live with are all moari love hip hop and im white as snow love heavy metal/rock.
My foster mum wont let me go completely goth though i buy things behind her back and dress my way when shes not around.
Anyway my real family me and my brother like the same music so im not completely the black sheep there....
And now that i think of it i'm the only one i know whos gothic at my school in my small town....

Are you a kiwi by any chance??

AmethystLea · 09-27-2005, 07:05 AM

I guess I could call my self the blacksheep of my family although my eldest neice is what 'normal' society would call strange also, I myself have never been one to follow rules, which wasn't any good when I was in school becaue I attended an all girls catholic school, I like to dress like a boy, to the dislike of my boyfriend but he puts up with me, I'm now only starting to along with my mother as she is finally coming around to my lifestyle. We did have a huge falling out when I was 15, because I started to use drugs, and like most controlling parents they put me in rehab and I'm now clean but only on special ocassions I will smoke a little dope. It can be hard sometimes at family gatherings because none of my sisters have really forgiven me for taking drugs and don't really talk to me much, but shit happens I surpose. No one is perfect, except maybe for my four year old who is totally perfect in every way for she is also an individual and knows what she likes and what she wants and it's not barbie dolls thank the goddess.

dramaelf · 09-28-2005, 04:34 PM

I suppose so. My older cousins have both gone to top colleges, met political icons, and gotten top paying jobs, and all without a single cavity. And my parents never let me forget it. But I'm a dramatic and eccentric nonconformist, and I'm looking for stardom. I like to try anything different, and though I may not be visually gothic(Mom won't let me), I'm dark and different. Still don't know where I got that from...

Mothling · 09-30-2005, 06:51 AM

I suppose I am the black sheep in the sense that I am completely different form the rest of my family, who all seem to share roughyl the same ideals, etc. But it doesnt mean that I am outcasted from them. Infact, I get along with all my family now more than I ever have.

now you try.

That sounds like me..

Yes yes, i agree.. there are exceptions though.
Glad to hear you got your justice..
I wonder what punishment could be severe enough for my so called parents..

Midnight_Terror · 10-08-2005, 03:47 AM

Hmmm, Blacksheep, I dunno. My parents are bot catholics and we do the whole "yay it's sunday CHURCH" Sort of thing but I'm not into God, there is no god. I'm the only one in my entire family and circle of close family friends (not a large family) that likes Cradle of filth and the such except for a cousin on my Dad's side, don't know about her...never had much to do with her. She moved out of my uncles house at 14 and joined the circus...literally. My parents hate the music I listen to and my Mum cried when I said I didn't believe in God. All my teachers think I'm going through a "phase" but I know better. It's been going on longer then they think. I'm also the only one in my family etc that laughs at death and inhumane slughter. They think I'm sick...but I dont care Ah well...I suppose I am the black sheep...well not as black as my cousin, maybe I am just a differnt sort of black. She's the black that wears clown hats and I'm the balck that wears fishnets.

spookypurple · 10-08-2005, 06:42 AM

My family's a right old mixed bunch. They don't understand me (puts hand to brow and sighs - LOL). But I don't understand them either, so that's working out nicely. I have at least one aunt who thinks I'm the spawn of Satan, but then she thinks that about everybody.
And the sheep angle is probably something we won't get into, being Welsh. But the Belgian side likes me. Which is nice. So I guess it just depends on which bit of the flock you ask.
I don't like sheep. B*uggers used to wake me up with all the flipping 'baa-ing' out in the fields at night. But they're not as scary as goats.

death from above · 10-08-2005, 08:22 AM

we were spawned from the metal legs of a chrome spider in a pool of television static and warm vokda. only the faint memories of the cocain rivers of sequins on her gown remain, lurking in the back of our mind like a grinning skull.

we have no family.

can't_think_now · 10-09-2005, 12:21 PM

I suppose i'm sort of a suppressed black sheep. My home is a dictatorship and unfortunately, i'm not the one in charge. My parents do evrything to control my clothes, my religon, what music i listen to, and what i read. It's quite sad. I think i'll go and make a post in the 'whining' section now...
