[quote=Anonymous]I went through it. At the time, I felt so powerless against expectations of how girls were supposed to dress and act -- be pretty, be quiet. Punk is really about helping yourself and your community. It felt really empowering to flip beauty standards on its head, use my voice (singer in a punk band), and not buy into consumerism by buying vintage, making my own clothes. I feel like punk saved my life, and the DIY ethos really helped me with a growth mindset before that was a thing. I encourage you to learn more about punk and Goth cultures, it's history and how does evolved over time, and talk to your DD about how she interprets it. BTW I'm a lawyer now. [/quote]
