Just clearing out my old computer before I transfer the files to the new one and I came across this little gem. I’ve got no idea where I got it from originally but 19 of them applied to me as a teenager and almost all of those still apply to me now
Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord. 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.
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nail polish.
-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols.
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
-Takes drugs.
-Drinks alcohol.
-Is suicidal and/or depressed.
-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.)
-Complains of boredom.
-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
-Is excessively awake during the night.
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.)
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this.
-Misbehaves at school.
-Misbehaves at home.
-Eats excessively or too little
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this.
-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner.
-Expresses an interest in sex.
-Masturbates.
-Is homosexual and/or bisexual.
-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism,
Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
-Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: “I’m so gothic, I’m dead”, “woe is me”, “I’m a goth”.
-Claims to be a goth.
If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center
I used to live in Texarkana, a small city on the Arkansas / Texas border, and we had a small weekly session of mainly IrTrad tunes in a coffee shop there.
For some reason, the Goth kids seemed to be the ones attracted most strongly to our kind of music. Most sessions, there were several who’d show up and listen–not always the same kids, but seemed to be all more or less part of the same group of kids.
They were always very soft-spoken and very polite. They might look a little scary at first, but for kids their age they were actually unusually calm and thoughtful. I don’t think I ever heard any of them say a crosswise word either to each other or to us.
So when I read things about the “destructive Goth subculture,” what I think of in my mind is one of the most unfailingly nice and polite group of young people I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter.

TEENAGERS ACTING IN A STRANGE OR ODD MANNER
EVERYBODY PANIC HEAVEN FORBID
Sorry, had to modify the list a little to help shine the light on the bullsh*t…
I grew up in an overly religious household, and people who write this kind of tripe recieve my business end in a quick and merciless manner.
My complete feelings on this kind of thing belong on the political board, so I’ll refrain from further comment here.

Oh dear. I’m afraid our black kitty, Lilly, may be a goth. She is definitely a very gentle goth, although I cannot say that she is soft-spoken .
Quite an amazing list! I’m particularly concerned with Goth Buddhists and other wild-eyed “Meditation” types. If we let our kids run amuck with THIS crowd…the streets will never be safe again! Oh, the violence!
crisoff…thank you so much for bringing us to our senses…
that’s 5
