Teen Gothic

Since I get to know about this subculture, I'm almost in good terms with myself. Its the first time in my life that I'm actually embracing myself and my likes. Its the first time I actually feel good with myself and my home (since I am able to decorate it the way I like) I was always called a psychopath and crazy for obsessing over anime characters like Jeff the Killer or Isaac Foster (there actually quite goth like… 🫣🖤) or for having a sweet spot for the dark, horror and obscure. It came mostly from my toxic mother and I believed her. I was always different from the others and never fit in (trust me. I'd tried as hard I could and tried to be as normal as possible. It only made me depressive.) I almost lost my mind and my life too. The music and subculture found me and saved me and is teaching me to embrace myself. Since I know about people who are just like me, I start to like myself. I still have a long way ahead but with this, It might be not as hard as I thought so.

I'm so sick of Goths, particularly female Goths, being sexualized the way they are right now.

I'm 13, and I've been catcalled multiple times, a few months ago, the first time I was catcalled, I wasn't even 13. I was 12. TWELVE- And these guys who catcall me are like 50.

I know catcalling isn't the worst thing that can happen, but still, these people are like 4x my age and it's literally so gross.

I had a fear of leaving my house or being alone for a while, I'm starting to grow out of it, but it's taking a while.

Can't people tell I'm a minor? I'm not allowed to wear makeup outside the house, I've been told many times I look younger than my age. People in my school literally say I "Look like a Goth 5 year old" to me. It isn't that freaking hard-

Anyways, thank you for reading my tangent.
