Since i've apparently misinterpreted everything that you have said why don't you tell me what your point is again?
I guess i just disagree with you that allowing a child to have a mohawk will somehow damage anybody. Despite having dyed hair in school and being a reject i know all this and, so far, it has not effected my employment opportunities in any way that i cannot live with. I don't need a degree to tell me that it doesn't really matter because i am living proof.
I'm not sure where you're hearing all of these gothkids complaining about not being accepted by society. I have heard people complain about the superficiality of society because they ended up on the wrong side of conformity. It's not "Why won't they accept me?" It's more like "Why can't they see that i'm just like them except for my hairstyle/jewelry/manner of dress?" Intelligent people know when they are making choices that will probably result in bearing the scorn of the conformists. I know my piercings will harm my job prospects at many places and i accept that. I also know that i will do what i have to do to earn the money that i need to survive here including taking them out. I don't, however, accept for a moment that it is fair or rational to place as much importance on appearance as our society does. The only way a piercing effects my ability to do a job is if the people i work with and/or the customers can't accept it. That's wrong and pandering to it will only encourage it.
