x_mystery answered Sunday September 25 2005, 10:07 pm: Yeah..we've got this chick at school that thinks she's so "elitist" because she dresses different that she makes dirty looks and such..but yeah.. here's my theory
A lot of the people that dress "goth" or whatever, whether conciously or sub-conciously, dress that way to push everybody away exept for people that are exactly like them. Maybe they just don't like it that there are people out there that will look past the way people dress and that you don't make a big deal and draw attention to the fact that they are "goth". You could sit your friend down, and say that she needs to talk to her friends about this, so they stop or you won't hang out with your friend unless they aren't there, or you could take the more direct approach and talk to the people yourself. Just tell them pretty much what I told you - that there ARE people that will look past silly things like clothing, like you, and they will need to get over that. Good luck!

devilspawn_666 answered Sunday September 25 2005, 9:18 pm: Well.... this is kind of an odd question, but I think if you don't like the way her friends treat you, you should make some kind of an effort to hang out with just her. Like saying... "Maybe we could go see a movie and go shopping with just the two of us" or something to that effect. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]
thinkpink03 answered Sunday September 25 2005, 8:37 pm: Well firstly be nice to them and hopefully they'll be nice to you. if they arent just ignore them. If it keeps bothering you tell your freind that when your hang out that you'd like it to be just the 2 of you [so her friends arent around.]
tasuki answered Sunday September 25 2005, 8:13 pm: Just be friendly to them and show them that you are just like them. I have a very diverse group of friends, some of us just wear regular clothes and some dress totally wild. Personally, I just wear stuff that fits and looks good on me, but I identify myself as Goth. And if those wild, wears-all-black lots of peircings freaky type goths has a problem with it...PSH on them! I don't care! You may have to confront these people, and say that just because you dress the way you do, they have no right to judge you. The ironic thing is that part of being a goth is to be an indiviual and not judge people based on their looks. You may want to mention that to them. I think that if they do judge people by their looks, they're not really Goth! Also, if they can't accept you as that girl's friend, they are not her real friends!

LadyGoodman answered Sunday September 25 2005, 7:53 pm: Tell your friend that you'd rather just hang out with her if her friends are going to be so bitchy. If she doesn't want to comply, tell her to talk to her friends about it. You shouldn't have to be put into a situation like that. [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]
soccer_crazii answered Sunday September 25 2005, 7:11 pm: you should just ignore them, and by the way, if they dont accept you for who you are, why are they over at your house? why do you invite them over? Also talking to your goth friend about this may help. [ soccer_crazii's advice column | Ask soccer_crazii A Question ]
