You also have to understand it from your moms perspective. She has a 13 year old girl that self labels herself "goth" and she hangs out with a punch of other kids who self label themselves punk, emo, prep, etc... Her daughter(you) also happesn to wear eccentric clothes and act differently. How the hell is she supposed to feel? She has every right to worry about you.
Also, I read your about me in your advice column, I'm sorry for the deaths that has ocurred in your life, but you've got to stop viewing life as a horrible journey that's just out to get you. You mention that you're hated by most people, which probably isn't true. MOst people are probably just intolerant of you because you act so differently. I'm not saying you shoudl conform, I'm just saying that they don't hate you, if anything, they're probably a lot of scared. You also say your whole family hates you, which is complete bullshit. If your mom hated you, she wouldn't care so much about what you do or what your friends do. The reason your mom tries to control you is because she cares about you. But of course, since you're 13 years old, you might not understand that concept yet.
Anyways, you also mentioned your mom wnats your female prep friend to come over. This is probaby because she is the most socially acceptable of all your friends and is a fellow female. Your mom simply wants reassurance that you're not hanging out with the "wrong" people. You can't blame her for that.
I probably sound like a 50 year old adult now, but the truth is, I'm still in highschool. If you met me, you'd probably think i was a comformist tool trying to fit in wtih everybody else. But i've done more "emo" shit than most emo kids have done in their lives. I've done more "gothic" stuff than what most gothic people have done, and I've just about as much "punk" stuff as what most punks have done. I've also seen a shitload of emo and punk bands live.
overall, what I'm trying to say is that your mom loves you and she's just worried about you(for obvious reasons) You also need to stop labeling yourself and your friends as punk or emo or whatever. Just be yourself, don't worry about the stupid sub cultures. You're also an emotionally angsty teen, have you ever considered doing something productive such as a sport or a club that would increase your self esteem so you wouldn't be so insecure about yourself? Also, you might want to talk to a therapist to sort out any emotional problems. Send me a message if you have any more questions. [ TheWallflower's advice column | Ask TheWallflower A Question ]
ASAPcamille answered Monday May 14 2007, 3:38 pm: Hey Randomgrl777 again. I am not sure where you are from, but I live in New England, and in my town everyone just loves emos, goths, and punks. They love them because 3 out of every 4 kids here is one. Our High School is filled with them, and for the most part they are really cool and interseting people. For the shallow people that dont like them, i think it is because they are use to the normal person. They expect everyone to be perfect, but dont understand that society doesnt work that way. If I were your mom, which I arent, I would actually be happy that you were drawing instead of getting caught up in other mischievious activities. Drawing is a good way to express your feelings, and your emoitions. She may just be frightened, or disturbed by the gore, or the eyes with the dark underneath them. She just needs to understand that you draw whatever you are feeling, so I would explain that to her. I hope I helped, and if you need help with anything feel free to go to my inbox!

"when were all together were always doing stuff to someone or eachother were the trouble makers were very rough to eachother do anything to get eachother in trouble. cuss out flipp off everyone talk sooo sick. whats wrong with it isnt it normal."
No, it isn't normal. It's rude and disrespectful, actually. That is probably why your mother doesn't like your GPES friends... she associates this behaviour with their coming. She likely wants you to hang out with 'ggg' because you were a little nicer back then.
I'm sure your friends are wonderful people, but you have to take a look at how you treat other people.
As for the artwork, the only questionable topic I'm seeing is 'gore'. Ick. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
