I'm 13 almost 14, and my mom is really confused with who I am, and she's trying to turn me into another overly-optomistic idiot. She thinks my life is all blood, gore, poutiness, and sorrow... and it's not. I don't know what would give her such an idea, but it's just not. I haven't worn anything black in weeks, and she's constantly accusing me of trying to be "gothic" or whatever. I don't know what's got her so paranoid, but I'm not doing anything to myself that's going to hurt me now or in the future, but her comments on what I do and how I decide to show independence kind of do hurt. I'm not trying to live under any label. I'm just a teenager and with the kinds of things I've been through, I pretty well know that life's not all smiles and sunshine. I chose to live the StraightEdge lifestyle, and she even criticizes the X's. How can I let her know that I'm just trying to find out who I am, and that I'm definately not the person she's trying to force me to be?
