Punkie Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 my parents r really starting to get annoying. they think im going in "the wrong direction" and doing bad stuff just cuz i like black and shop and hottopic and things like that. they think im planning to kill myself. which im not. they say things like "i thought u were gonna grow up to be a cheerleader" yeah right.. NEVER and they say "i bet ur gonna stop singing and start doing spells if u arent already doing it" i dont know wut their problem is cuz they hate the musik i listen to and the clothes i wear. i mean.. its just the way i am and nothing can change it. they think im doing all these bad things like doing drugs and thinking im gonna kill myself. i say things like "nothing is wrong with me.. im not gonna kill myself cuz im smarter than that. i dont do drugs..its pointless to me." idk.. they just think of me as a very different person and i dont like it. does anyone have any ideas of wut i should tell them?

Wolfie Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ask them if their parents liked the music they were listening to when they were kids. Also if their parents approved of the styles they chose (dressing/appearance) when they were teens. I think you see where I'm headed with that.

Punkie Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 yeah.. ill do that but i think theyre gonna say "yeah but ur style is like u worship the devil and its unnessasary (h/e u spell it)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 "What did (grandma/grandpa/whatever you call them) think about your ways when you were my age?" <-- if they refer to you as worshipping satan, point out that how your music sounds to them, their music must have sounded to their parents. Also that if they can't trust you when you say that you're not some idiotic demon worshipping suicidal psycho teen, then they don't know you.

They prolly know that most goths are dark and depressed, and try to kill themselves. I know 2 of those kinds of people..I don't hang with them anymore. Anyways, that's why they think that. I think so anyway. Just tell them you like the looks xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkie Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 that i like the looks? yeah i do.. but i like the lifestyle and the musik also. but that wouldnt really help it by telling them that.. i told them that wut did their parents think about the musik and they said yeah but ur a girl and ur supposed to act like one. then i said what? so ur saying that i act like a guy? then they just said dont be a smart [butt] and stuff. they just dont get it. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaSplit Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Ah. Yes. I meant the lifestyle. anyways, they can be like that, like I said. I I were you I would just say "I'm nit gonna kill myself..I just like the lifestyle and music. So quit worrying." ain't I sweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 You should just be blunt... "Come on, I might not be the smartest person in the world but gosh, I'm not stupid enough to kill myself either because if I do that, then how can I listen to my music?"

BananaSplit Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Good idea..I guess. Though if I were to say something like that my parents would think I'm being sarcastic and tell me not to back talk them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
