Can I be a Goth AND work with horses???
hI,I have a question. The thing is I really want to become a Goth. Only I have failed all my GCSEs in school. i only got a few G grades (apart from getting a C in English)
The thing I need to ask is: don't you have to be quite clever to be a Goth. They write poetry and draw/paint but I don't have a clue about any of these things so couldn't do them. Can I still become a Goth? If so how would I go about it?Or do you DEFINATELY have to write poetry/paint to be a Goth? Am i too thick? Will my lack of eduaction pose problems if I'm going to become a Goth?
Also I AM PANICKING SEVERELY OVER MY FUTURE/OPTIONS/EDUCATION but for a time I was thinking about working with horses. ONLY THINKING!!! i wanted to explore all my options.
was thinking of going to college to do Equine(horse) studies so that I could eventually get a Job with horses. Could I still be a Goth if I did this? If so then how? I haven't seen many Goths around stable yards.should I just be a Goth In my spare time?
Also I might not work with horses I might choose to do something else. What types of Jobs do/can Goths get? And would employers be put off employing them because they're Goths?
Can you provide me with any answers. PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm sorry if this is a really strange question by the way!!!!
I live in England by the way.

"Goth" is a label. A label for people that are so pseudo-intellectually depressed about their sad little upper-middle class lives that they dress ridiculously to get attention. Don't get me wrong, everyone should dress however they feel like. But they claim to be free and non-conforming unique spirits when, in reality, they're just conforming to their own standards. With their fashion, personalities, likes and dislikes. Just be yourself. Labels are for soup cans.

Well first off "goth" is just a label. You dont HAVE TO be all those thing just to be a goth. Being a goth doesnt make it acceptable to be failing all of your classes it just means you not taking effot in them. And as for being goth and working with horse. Any person can work with horses. it more about being smart enought and have all the knowlage to work with them. not weather you area a goth or not.
Sorry if that is not even close to the answer you wanted, but its the truth

Okay, you're thinking wayyyy too much into this Goth thing. "Goth", is just a label. The reason people dress that way and draw and everything is because that's just what they like to do, that's what they're into, and that's their lifestyle. So if you want to dress like one, dress like. If you can't draw, don't draw. If you don't want to write poetry, don't write poetry. You can be whatever you want to be, do whatever you want to do. I'm sorry, but you're thinking too much into the "label" that is "Goth". You can be a stupid Goth, a horse-riding Goth, whatever. If that's what your into, by all means, do it.
But it is, however, difficult to get a job if you're dressed all in black with piercings and such. I might suggest working at Hot Topic or somewhere where they don't really mind piercings and tattoos and dyed hair and everything.
I'm sure no Hilton Hotels will hire you if you have dyed hair and piercings and everything, because that'd be unprofessional.
But I'm sure in a few years you won't want to be "Goth" anymore, because it's probably just a phase. And I'm sure as you get older, whenever you have kids and want a real good job not at Hot Topic, you'll want to dress different.
I hope I helped.

Darling, you have a lot to learn.
Be YOURSELF. You can be as gothic as you want, dress however the hell you want, and be as good or bad at poetry or art as you want. Labels are labels, and they'll always be confusing. You dont have to conform to how any other goth is just to call yourself one. Do whatever feels comfortable...you shouldnt have to change yourself to look or act like anyone else...wether that means dressing in all black or whatever. It doesnt matter what you enjoy doing or what you're bad at, be yourself, and dont feel obligated to be anything other than that. This might sound really cheesy, but believe me...if you arent yourself it'll continuously bother you. You shouldnt have to wear masks...be normal when you're around horses and then gothic when you feel it's best. Dont worry about what other people think...do what YOU want, and what you think will make you happy.
Also, no poetry is bad poetry unless you desire to be something like William Shakespeare. It's how you express YOURSELF...so you shouldnt have to be comparing your poetry to others. ANYONE can write anything.
Finally, if you want to work with horses, then feel free to do that! Calling yourself 'gothic' has nothing to do with what activities you like. The ONLY problem with pursuing this career and becoming 'gothic' is piercings and tattoos...if you're planning on getting either then you might want to think that over. Professions like that might be more formal and piercings and tattoos dont quite fit.
If you want to talk to me further, feel free to message me.
hope this helped,
Brittany.

Woah. Don't overthink this "goth" image too much.
If you feel like dressing some way..then go for it! You dont have to fit the perfect goth stereotype!! If you feel like wearing all black..but hate writing poetry..still wear black!
Just do what you want, no ones going to stop you.
I dont think there are any goth laws that anyone has to follow haha.
And as for the career path..it seems like you are pretty young still..maybe 13 or 14? You have alot of time to think about this kind of stuff. Dont worry about it too much, but if you think you want to work with horses then thats great!
Chances are..in a couple years or even months you wont want to be goth anyways..its probably just a phase.
Just dont worry about it, dress however you want, and act however you want, and think about having any career that you want.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
