Goths in school... - Page 15

You should see our school. Everyone's in black trousers/skirts and white shirts with the school ties. Seniors (5th and 6th year) have to wear navy-blue blazers and prefects have to sew on gold (gold, oh my god, chav-bling!) braiding and have badges.

Sounds like a very well-to-do school.

When I was in school we didn't moan about not being able to wear chains and eyeliner. We protested about the girls being forced to wear skirts and petitioned for permission to wear trousers, for equality with the boys, and because we were fricking freezing our pussies off in winter. It worked for a few months then we were forced back to our drafty dresses because trousers "didn't look neat enough" on the girls!

And we didn't even get to wear black at all. Our uniforms were grey skirts/trousers, grey shirts, green pullovers, with green, grey, and red striped ties.

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

Kids today don't know how good they have it...

They don't have any make up restrictions or anything of that sort. The rules they do have, are backed up with evidence so I really can't complain.

Yet another post by the authority of 'Dark Fashion', neh?

They're not all inter-changable.

Good lord, so many different styles! I need to find a subgenre that I can belong to. I feel so left out..... *melancholy sigh followed by a single tear*

Panic · 04-20-2006, 09:55 AM

Well, maybe not "nu-metal", but punk and goth are *definitely* mixable... and to be fair, don't Korn usually dress up more than that? That looks like they're all jet-lagged and high...which, they probably are.

Gah. That's what I get for being a smartass. Now I just need to figure out how to put my shirt on with one hand fastened to my head.....

To-ga! To-ga!

Engulfed_in_darkness · 04-20-2006, 12:40 PM

My did not ban chains because as I said there are only 4 goths in the school which are me and a my friends and we just wear the chains instead a singing them around like maniacs.

Engulfed_in_darkness · 04-20-2006, 12:58 PM

Say it woman! lol. Personal compasses are now banned and may only use the ones in the class rooms because the minorties who act so immature as people think of them want to play "stab the innocent" and be stupid.

Sobeh · 04-20-2006, 01:08 PM

Never mind the fact that a lot of the kids in those school years are masses of hormones and confused social cues.

Engulfed_in_darkness · 04-20-2006, 01:09 PM

Yes. The teacher may be boring and lame but she or he is only doing his job, trying to pay his rent money, nd enjoy life like the rest of us and people just cannot seem to understand that.

An Eccentric Cellist · 04-20-2006, 01:55 PM

On the topic of the Gothic style in school....What the hell is it with me and rhyming today?

Okay anyway. Today is Hitler's b-day which was the day of Columbine (why the coat thing), wearing any winter coats that are big and thick is forbidden in classrooms, so are floor-length trench coats. There is nothing against makeup. Chains, studs, and safety pins aren't allowed though they don't really enforce safety pins. I think tripps are okay as long as they're cloth.
My English teacher got an email showing a kid pulling out a mini-arsonal out of his clothing in jeans, t shirt and trench, it would be very uncomfortable to do some of the things he'd done,A long barreled gun up your pants leg would be a pain.
A good few of my friends have been asked if they were okay and if they wanted to see the guidance counselor.
Everything else is a good decency code, such as no one wants to see your underclothing.

Corpus_Draconis · 04-20-2006, 06:13 PM

We were not allowed to wear outdoor wear in school. They banned spikey studs, too. However, everyone at my school were either major preps, who behaved cuz... well.... yeah, or they were stoners, and didn't care to misbehave. Most of the people who were neither of those were my friends and I, who hung out in the stairwell and had semi-intelligent conversations and did well in our classes. My school was pretty reasonable with the dress code. I even got the vp to write a note to my mom saying that evening gloves were OK in school. Didn't get my gloves back, as was promised, but...

Well, you're the one that forgot to put your hand to your forhead in the typical tragically goth fashion.

One must never forget the 'Goth Salute' *hand stapled to forehead in truest angst*

P.S. Togas are sexy!

aspendeath · 04-21-2006, 06:37 AM

My highschool was pretty lax on goth-type things. As long as it wasn't "indecent" (profanity, exposing too much skin, etc), it was allowed.

They banned baseball caps, though..

Thank GOTH I don't go to public school anymore. I enjoyed the learning experience indefinitely. It was, indeed everything else that angered me. The most annoying part, of course, were the people. Apart from the fact that I struggled with sociability then; unable to even make eye contact, the worst were their disgusting personalities. All the boys were ego-maniacal, homophobic, immature, and plain stoopid. All the girls were basically likewise, sometimes worse.

One of the very first rules in the school's handbook was 'no gothic clothing'. It was literally to the point where we could be questioned if we simply wore black jeans and a shirt. The school system, in my opinion, breaks far too easily and gives in to the bitching of parents far too often.

Sometimes ,though, I wish I could return to school. Since my father's absence from the household, my sociability has vastly increased, and I wish that I could 'replay situations the right way' so-to-speak; enter school with my renewed psyche.

I was originally expelled due to my morbid artwork. I decided then to work towards my GED and reach my approaching future. No longer will I have a vegetable (adj.) existence.

Well, I suppose I could give the toga a shot. I'll have to lift weights for a month or two beforehand, however, to avoid embarassing myself by revealing my weakling's physique.

that reminds me, my favorite day of high school was toga day. I had a really pretty blue toga and my hair was all curley. After school I went shopping with a bunch of friend and people at the mall kept giving us strange looks

You should show your teacher and principal this article: http://www.slate.com/id/2099203

I really can't believe they're still going on about that...I mean, look how old this article is.

TWO YEARS since this has been published, and schools still think that a kid with a coat on is only wearing it to hide guns...

PainisyourFriend · 05-15-2006, 12:54 AM

Guns, knives and other weapons of mass destruction. Yet they have no problem with the Biology class working with pneumonia bacteria. And shop kids get to play with nail guns. (Its supervised, yeah the teacher never looks away for a second.) Ok I can see why they are worried about disturbed individuals, but really they are individuals. Don't stereotype they whole culture.

The rules mandate no nail polish colors other than "natural" and no false nails. However they say nothing about toe nails so I happily were my colors on my feet, with flip flops.
