Parents can't accept my clothing, lifestyle or attitude?

[chouka k]

My parents act like they're amazing but they can't accept me.
I'm punk rocker, most of you would say gothic but i think that's kind of a stereotype. I'm 15 and my parents start fights with me constantly over my black clothing and chains, or my laid back attitude. My mom is going through menopause so shes twice as a witch as normal. When my parents ask me a question I'll answer politely but then they start screaming that my voice is too low or I'm not loud enough so they won't listen. They want me to be a girly girl and buy me pink and light or neon clothing constantly that half the time is too small for me. They want me to be a copy of my 'perfect' big sister. How can I deal with this? I'm constantly being hounded about how I look, my career, or something stupid that doesn't even involve me. I was considering moving out the second I graduate. My mom also said I can't get ANY piercings once I move out or she will never talk to me again and my family will shun me. How can I live this way?

im 15 too and in a way know where your comming from. my parents tried that on me-but i was 13 at the time and i was gaining weight like crazy and couldnt fit into many clothes lol. i wanted to wear black constantly and buy everything in hot topic lol but they wanted me to try new styles and more colorful clothes. haha it didnt work at all. im not laid back, but ive always been stubborn and it got through their thick heads that i like my style-lol thats what i call it i wear a lot of dark clothes, but i dont wear chains. i maybe have 2 light shirts. the rest i steal from my bf im sorry about the comparison to your sister. i have a big sister but im meeting her for the first time on saturday so i cant relate to you there. with me and my mom after she realized im not gonna change my style(which was...a year ago maybe?) she somehow became cool and helps me pick out my clothes and says shed rather me wear dark clothes b/c they bring out my eyes...weird huh?? lol be nicer to them. if you can, tell your mom when shes being nice that shes a b---- and shes retarted for making you change...its what i do. but my mom is only 35 so she still is kinda cool, and for the piercings, say that theyre freakin holes in you skin, not a big deal really. and say who cares, if you love me you would accept me for who i am and not what i look like. see, i can do that with my mom but theres no way i could do it with my dad.

You should tell her it's your body and life - And if you want to live this way, you have the right to. Your not doing anything wrong - your not harming anyone, or putting anyone in danger. Tell her you don't like girly things, you like to be laid back. Tell her wearing this clothes makes you happy. You like what you do, and if she won't accept her child ... then maybe she cares to much about what others will think of her.
