[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m all for self expression, but I’d like to understand the motivation behind the goth/punk aesthetic as my teenager made an abrupt change in her style during Covid while experiencing severe depression and suicidal ideation. Prior to this change in mental health and styling she was a low maintenance, casual dresser who took pride in her hair and makeup. She now seems to be intentionally trying to look intimidating and “extreme” while trying to act like she doesn’t GAF (but she does :wink: ). Any BTDT experience and guidance would be appreciated. I want to be supportive, but I also want her mentally healthy and don’t want to keep her in an unhealthy mental place by encouraging her fashion choices that seem to be reflecting her inner turmoil.
