the fact that the kid did frequently go onto online games simulating the columbine shootings, and frequently went on websites with pictures and stories about that stuff brings the thought into my mind that the kid wasn't entirely sane, im not saying its alright for them to say anything belittling the gothic community, as far as i knew, i didnt know he was gothic, but i mean come on, the kid wasn't sane. they're not blaming the way he dresses, or the music he listens to, they're blaming the things he viewed on multiple occasions and that he clearly was insane

ya i know, its terible what happend and feel so sorry for the girl and everyone else but the media is just screwing everything up and its how we get these stupid prejudist things. its just like the muslems now, bush is trying to get us to think that they are all bad and the media is helping and its quite atounding how it actually works

I wrote this before I found your site. Not surprising we have the same thoughts. I post it here to encourage you and because otherwise it will likely never see the light of day

that is exactly what i was saying, im not a goth, or even an outsider, i look and act just like the majority, but people still catagorize you no matter what. ive been labeled many times with several different postions, but the ponnt is its not just me it is the majority, most people are and always will be put in groups. and just because some syco killed someone, dosn't mean that the rest of the people who may look or even seem the same on the outside ARE the same. they could be an artist trying to express a different view on life or just looking to be different.

It would be linked to gang activity and blamed on 50 cent automatically.
Or what if it had of been a preppy kid. Wait, they'd have nothing to say about that.
Weird how that works.
