Seems most prevalent in middle school but there are definitely some who dont grow out of it until high school or for the severely impaired even later for whatever reason...you know the all black clothes, chains, spikes, angstyness, unreasonable depression the whole show.

Im just curious as to why? What was going through your minds? For years Ive always wondered but cant grasp why people act that way. Attention? Pity? What? They can't honestly believe their lives are so bad do they? Why can't they just act normal?

Would like some personal experience stories...I can tell for a fact there are definitely some gothic/emo kids that actively post in this board

emo, no. but I'm usually very quiet and all depressed probably because I wake up about 4 minutes before the class starts and I'm just pissed that I have to go to school so early in the morning and I'm just exhausted at having to solve integrals at 8:30am. That kinda goes away when lunch time comes.

no, liked some pop-punk (what most people consider emo nowadays) music for awhile, but that's it. (BTW, real emo music is still awesome.)

Some gothic music is good, i tend to wear black and someties i feel down though it's in no way to do with a fasion trend, i've never really payed attention to fashion. Also the word "emo" seems to be incredibly overused now.

Yeah, I went through that phase in 8th and 9th grade. It was sooo lame.

I started off listening to a bunch of crappy bands like Slipknot. I was really angsty and "depressed" and "suicidal." I wore all black clothing everyday and thought I was pretty alternative. It was really lame. I'm glad I grew out of it when I did.

7th grade. I wish I could go back in time and punch myself in the face and say "You're already fat, don't make it worse by dressing like a black blob". Acting =/= dressing. A good majority of "goth" or "emo" people that I know are actually quite cheerful. Some people just like the style, it has absolutely nothing to do with being depressed. That`s just a stereotype, which often becomes reality due to the excessive bullying BECAUSE of the stereotype. I got told to kill myself and cut myself on a regular basis even when I was out of that phase. So basically what I'm saying is change your mindset. Treating people who dress differently than you as being below you or attention seeking will just cause more problems. Leave them alone.

Goth was like, a thing in school back in the 80's. I was happy the first time it died.
