He was different.
Some are 'different good'. Some are 'different bad'. If you're a caring person, you go to the 'different bad' type, and try to make them mend their ways and help them.

Besides, there are SO many 'omg I'm suicidal' teenagers these days, actually being NOT suicidal, happy and caring seems to be the non-conformity. So don't give us that 'he was different so he got picked on' crap. If I walked around wearing a big yellow hat, I'd be different, yet no-body would say anything - maybe point and laugh, at the most. That's a type of 'different good', by the way. But if I looked like some misreable, wretched piece of human flesh, I'm sure people would be concerned, and tried to help me. At least, I hope they would.

For a few of you, if you replaced the word "goth" with "Jew" in your posts, you'd be Nazis.
Eh? Did someone here ever kill a Goth for being one? Did they suggest they should be killed? Did they form anti-Goth parties and went about wreaking havoc? Did anyone here start a world war? Build Extermination Camps? Murder millions?

Cut it with the sensational bull-crap. It gets you no-where. Saying a certain clutural trend is annoying and that those who follow it are morons has NOTHING to do with the Nazi way.

Moronic teen-agers should either be left alone, or bitch-slapped into realisation. They should not be defended or encouraged.

I know I never was a goth, but I was quite depressed for a while. Happens to everyone. I pulled myself out, and now I'm out of my teen years. No 'goth' I've met as of yet has had ANY grounds for his or her stupid behaviour. I do know, however, people who went through literal HELL, and are happy, normal and communicative people. It's all in one's mind.

Goths' behaviour is an INSULT to people who actually went through something devastating. Merely hearing those little brats whine makes me want to bash some good sense into them, and setting them up to meet with some of the courageous and wonderful people I know, who have been through so much, and never said a word of weakness.
