To stand out, to rebel, not to be like everyone else, like some adolescents adopt a different style dress.
Today, we see a lot of gothic and emos. You certainly have that kind of crossover? Adolescents on the streets or you’ve seen on TV.
The Gothic in? Imaginary people are dressed in dark colors, mostly black, paint their room black, listen to music lasts, Metal genre, see life in black too. They think much about death and feel badly about themselves.
The emos, to simplify, have great hair, dyed black, which inhibits their faces, they are not dressed in black but with touches of bright color, they wear jeans “cigarette”, they would tend to maim (that? they say!), they listen to hardcore music, they are more extroverted, exhibitionist limit, they would tend to be depressive.

If you have a child who is or wants to be gothic or emo, should you be afraid?
I say, it depends?
You must above all avoid rejecting? Away your youth. Indeed, the adoption of this particular style n? Is perhaps not as serious as that.
Adolescents often seek to set themselves apart. They also like to make part of a sort of community, allowing them to feel belonging to the same “family”.
In fact, l? Is essential to know if your teenager wants to adopt only the Gothic style of dress or emos or ideas.

In the first case, it is not so bad. Generally it will only pass. You too young in your time, you may have been hippie, punk, grunge or whatever. Every era has its style.
So if your child s? Dressed all in black, painted his room black, do not panic now. Watch it. S see? It does not contain itself, s? He does not see life in black. S? It continues to meet his friends, do not worry. However, stay vigilant?

Otherwise, if his change of style s? Accompany of a profound change of character, a closure on it, do not focus on, because that would only widen the gap between your teenager and you. Take time to talk to him, ask him why he thinks this way. Above all, do not reject. It is perhaps merely personify his ill-being in this way. Keep ever close to him. Tell him that his way to? Be bother you and do not appear normal. Show them that life: it is something else than mope all the time. Try l? Prevent s? Enclosed in his style, in his tribe. I know, it is not easy to do. Do not hesitate to tell him that you worry for him.

Do not worry, most of the time, you don? Will not worry. These days, the emos bloom in the streets: it is a phenomenon? Imitation, mainly clothing. And often it s stops there. This is just an epiphenomenon that will disappear as it is now. Often, only the forthcoming account.
Fortunately, “l? Habit ne fait pas le moine.” Gothic style does not ideas black. I know d? Also a young secretary “Gothic” which is very competent, helpful and friendly?
Beware of bias! Trust your child, do not let go, do not lose contact with him? The discussion is paramount!
