The bolded ones describe me.

Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your
child is a goth.

Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child:

-Frequently wears black clothing. So?

-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. It's being a fan of bands!

-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish. Um..people have personal tastes in makeup, you know...

-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include:
reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other
Satanic worshipping symbols.
Ugh. Just 'casue I wear silver dragon necklaces...

-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. I wanna get my ears pierced. SO!?!

-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of
music. People have music tastes.
