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.

-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak
eccentrically. Um....

-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such
as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.I'm not Christian.

-Is suicidal and/or depressed.Depression is normal..

-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)Oh yay, I bite my fingernails, i'm a worshiper of Satan.

-Sleeps too excessively or too little.What about when I CAN'T sleep!?!

-Is excessively awake during the night.I have insomnia. SO!?!

-Spends large amounts of time alone. I like the computer. So?

-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil spirits through meditation.)Um..what if my little brother and sister are bugging the **** out of me?

-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult. We shouldn't have our lives ruled by other poeple..

(Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)Now THAT's mentally ill.

-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.I'm just a computer nerd!

-Violently shakes head to music. People can do what they want.
