I just think they have their own style I dont think it's cool its definitely not for me guys in makeup that's not my style
Nope and goth girls can be hot
Much hotter than girly girls
Goth girls are hot in my opinion
Dont care about it for guys though
It's just a clothing style and culture not a mental illness
They are weird so am I. I don't believe in mental illness.
Nope, I assume they are followers rather than leaders.
Of course not, that would be stupid. But I would assume they are quite edgy.
Women wear it well most of the time. Dudes make it looks weird and gross.
When I see a goth girl. I find it hot. I like the look.
I've met like three and for the most part they were pretty normal
No. I think they have a unique style.
Just kids trying to fit in, as kids do.
No but I like goth girls and they are all depressed which I also like
No, that's not usually an assumption I make.
Depends, in some situations it's a possibility.
No I do not assume that
Just a different physical look & perspective
Nope. I just think they have a cool style.
Nope.
Anyway, not much goths here where I live.
I don't
But I bet most conformists do...
Do lip piercings hurt bro?
Not more than earrings.
I doubt that 😯😐
I have two ear piercings
But won't the lips bleed if pierced?
Did it bleed?

I actually don't have real piercings, mine are fake. But I will get real ones some day.
Oh my gosh look at all that blood
Best of luck to you 😨😊
And only idiots will think goths have a mental illness. Its all about preference right
Nope
They are cool
No. I simply think they're teenagers.
No I think they are hot in a weird way 😆
When they're from Sweden, yeah.

I'm gonna squeeze you like a finne
Det är inte bra.
No why would I think that
A study published on the British Medical Journal concluded that "identification as belonging to the Goth subculture [at some point in their lives] was the best predictor of self harm and attempted suicide [among young teens]", and that it was most possibly due to a selection mechanism (persons that wanted to harm themselves later identified as goths, thus raising the percentage of those persons who identify as goths). According to The Guardian, some goth teens are at more likely to harm themselves or attempt suicide. A medical journal study of 1,300 Scottish schoolchildren until their teen years found that the 53% of the goth teens had attempted to harm themselves and 47% had attempted suicide. The study found that the "correlation was stronger than any other predictor". The study was based on a sample of 15 teenagers who identified as goths, of which 8 had self-harmed by any method, 7 had self-harmed by cutting, scratching or scoring, and 7 had attempted suicide.
No. Just kind of a bit odd in my opinion.
Definitely not
If you still talk to Megan, tell her I said hi
I will
Ya because many do
That did make me chuckle
It's a style, nothing more.
no i don't assume they have a mental illness
Why would i?

So do a lot of teens. I cut when I was a teen and attempted suicide by pills. And I had a really happy childhood and great parents. Just because someone's embraced dark and portrays their self expression the way goths do, doesn't mean their broken
You are using studies, I believe the asker was inquiring if YOU walked past some Goth's would YOU assume they all had mental illness. Also you said your study was on 15 people - A study cannot be valid on so few people, that would take hundreds if not more, that identify as Goth's to even be taken seriously. Any study on anything requires a large number of subjects ti have any kind of validation at all. I would kindly suggest you reset your standards to use studies of only LARGE groups of subjects before you stand with them. A study needs large numbers and a broad area to even attempt to learn something of value. In this case it would be crucial.
1. I am the asker.
2. The study was on 1300 children. It was based on a smaller study of 15.
My comment mentions four studies, actually.
I believe it’s a lifestyle choice
Nope :)
I prefer a goth chick to a basic bitch.
no..
Wow. Great pics!
Nope.
No, but I wouldn't date one
Nope. Cool style though
Only certain ones. Like snobby snotty ones
Sometimes or issues of some sort

Not always.
It’s a phase
No.,
