If your child is Gothic, reform through the Lord!
Listed beloware some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord, Gothic (or Goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The Gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counseling, prayer and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if the following are applicable to your child.
-frequently wears black clothing
-wears black and/or rock t-shirts
-shows an interest in piercings an/or tattoos
-listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the Anti-Crist and publically speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
-Associates with other people that act, dress, or speak eccentrically.
-shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
-complains of boredom.
-sleeps too excessively or too little.
-is excessibely awake during the night.
-demands unusual amounts of privacy.
-spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness (This is necessary so that your child may speak to evil spirits through meditation.)
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
-Disregards authority figures. (Priests, teachers, nuns are but a few examples of this.)
-Misbehaves at school.
-Misbehaves at home.
-Eats goth-related foods. (Count Dracula cereal is an example of this.)
-Watches cable television or other corrupted media sources. (Ask your church for proper programs your child may watch.)
-Plays video games that are violent and are of the roleplaying nature.
-Uses internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
-Expresses an interest in sex.
-Masturbates.
-Is homosexual or bisexual.
-Wears pins, stickers, or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I am Goth.", "I'm so gothic, I'm dead.", and "Woe is Me."
-Claims to be Goth.
If five or more or these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The Gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.

unfortunately guys, at least 10 of these apply to me, making me 200% Goth. Fortunately, the evil presence of Count Dracula cereal has not shown up in my life... yet.
