Answer 1

themselves

Answer 2

Well, probably goth. Here's my definition:

Goth is more a lifestyle or outlook on life than anything. They tend to accept that there are bad things as well as good things in life, rather than 'sweep them under the rug', to say, and pretend they don't exist. They can dress however they want, although many prefer darker colors and more dramatic clothes and makeup, and listen to lots of songs and varied genres of music, which can include but are by no means limited to, new wave, darkwave, ethereal, Celtic, goth rock, punk, postpunk, chants, heavy metal, industrial, Latin, et cetera. Not all are interested in vampires - in fact, relatively few are. Many if not most have good relationships with their parents. Very few have mental or psychological problems. Most are actually quite nice, if a bit saturnine. Very, very, very few are 'satanists' or 'devil worsippers'. Most of the young teenagers who listen to Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Slipknot, Korn, My Chemical Romance, Drowning Pool, et cetera and wear heavy thick makeup and studded spike collars and bracelets are called 'Mall goths', shop mostly at Hot Topic, and - this is important - they're not real goths. They just seem to think they are. They act disturbed and surly and try to impress/intimidate people. It seldom works, as most are obviously pathetic, and almost all will (thankfully) grow out of it. If you'd like a comprehensive explanation, try visiting goth.net. Some songs that goths might listen to:
Dragonfly (Conjure one mix) - Cruxshadows
Dazzle - Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Passion of Lovers - Bauhaus
Lucretia My Reflection - Sisters Of Mercy
Lullaby - The Cure
She's Lost Control - Joy Division
In Our Angelhood - The Cocteau Twins
Funeral Night - Bella Morte
Deliverance - The Mission UK
Cemetary Gates - The Smiths
Are 'Friends' Electric? - Tubeway Army
Love Is Stronger than Death - The The
Nowhere Girl - B-Movie
Twilight Of The Mortal - Killing Joke
Seconds - The Human League
Indigo Eyes - Peter Murphy
Right Now - The Creatures
Walk on the Moon - Daniel Ash
No Big Deal - Love and Rockets
Fire Woman - The Cult

Answer 3

Maybe he is trying to see things from the emo/goth prospect and the ghettoish and he is just trying to fit in and doesn't know where to be! He should learn to love himself and be proud of who he is.

Answer 4

I'd rather he were a goth--because as annoying as that is, they seem like they grow out of that phase more often than they grow out of acting ghetto.

Answer 5

i'd particularly witness my youngster's lack of existence. i'm an individual so it does no longer mess me up that badly. To a baby dropping a be certain would throw them way too a lot and that i does no longer choose that.

Answer 6

I'd rather emo/goth. I can relate to that better. Plus I think sad is better than egotistical and easily provoked.

That and goth kids anyway tend to take an interest in history and literature. And nice clothes. And beautiful if antique manners.

Answer 7

At least the hood's real! Ghetto Fabulous!

Answer 8

Let him act emo, thats the most soccialy ecceptible route

Answer 9

can't see I have a child, I'm 14.... but go with emo/goth.... although I HATE labels, unfortunately I am labeled emo/goth ( and we're not always depressed)

Answer 10

I would rather my child just be whatever makes him/her happy and realize you don't have to conform to society's stereotypes.

Answer 11

ahhh teenagers don't you love them. Good Luck to you, but it will get better and then you and your child will laugh at the pictures some day.
