Have you asked her? If she is goth (or whatever that's called these days) it could be anything.

It is also unsanitary and it's your home.

mstatjana · Feb 17, 2011, 06:58 AM

Yes she is goth I ask her and I don't understand that what do you think I can do about it and why they doing that

mstatjana · Feb 17, 2011, 07:09 AM

Yes she told me she is gothik I just don't know what to do is there anything that I can do and also why they do that

So, you asked her. What was her response?

What can you do? She is 14 and you are her mother. Tell her how unsanitary this is and don't allow it to happen.

mstatjana · Feb 17, 2011, 07:18 AM

I told her and she is still doing it so I like to know why she dose it is that something Goth do and why I don't know anything about goth and if you do know anything let me know that is something I could work with and target her problem

adam_89 · Feb 17, 2011, 07:18 AM

That is very odd. You should ask her to stop if it bothers you which I am sure it does.

mstatjana · Feb 17, 2011, 07:26 AM

I did and that is still a going on thing she is not stopping it. Today I found rice in a plastic container and there was a red licquit and it was urin and I don't know what else I don't understand that I think she is in to gothik stuff and I would like to get more info on that to stop it

J_9 · Feb 17, 2011, 07:39 AM

Did she tell you why she does it? Please tell us.

adam_89 · Feb 17, 2011, 07:42 AM

I can't find anything about it. I am sorry. I am kind of intrigued as to why but I can't find anything about gothis rituals or anything like that.

J_9 · Feb 17, 2011, 07:46 AM

I bet if you took her bedroom door off, this behavior would stop. You might want to consider counseling for her as well.

mstatjana · Feb 17, 2011, 07:55 AM

No she does not tell me she gets embarrassing about it and mad.

As I Googled, I found this site that links goth behavior with Satanism. Does she cut herself or not keep herself clean? Is she perhaps dabbling in Satanism? --

KNOWING THE WARNING SIGNS

adam_89 · Feb 17, 2011, 08:09 AM

I thought counseling would be a good thing as well.

Jake2008 · Feb 17, 2011, 08:10 AM

You need to research Goth culture, traditions, and practises.

Drinking one's own urine, is something they do, among other things.

I would be more concerned with the fact that she is practising any rituals associated with this culture. Just my opinion here, but her having a cup of urine in her room, is the least of your worries.

There are extreme's to any activity that teen's do, from drinking to sex, to experimenting with Goth culture. You may never understand all the why's, but you should be aware of her activities within this culture of goth friends that she has.

Like anything else, there should be rules, boundaries, discipline, and consequences to any behaviour with a 14 year old. If anything, because they are experimenting with different things at this age, you need to know what she's doing as best you can, and like anybody else with teenagers, you have to parent.

Who she hangs out with, where she goes, what she does. Changes in physical health, failing grades in school, etc. Adding her being Goth doesn't change the fact that she's 14 years old, and you call the shots.

Wondergirl · Feb 17, 2011, 08:11 AM

Definitely counseling. Just the weird, secret, maybe ritualistic activities alone are screaming "I need help."

JudyKayTee · Feb 17, 2011, 09:03 AM

Out of greenies - but, yes, drinking you own urine is part of the goth culture in my area.

I think I said it from the beginning - she's a child. The OP is the mother. Who is in charge here?

And, yes, counselling.

Tracyright · Feb 17, 2011, 09:31 AM

Well may think I really got troubles - but am always keeping 1 or 2 glasses under my bed,when I find it difficult to go to the toilet and pee, especially at night... hun I think its due to a fright...

Fr_Chuck · Feb 17, 2011, 11:10 AM

So you make her change, first she can not wear any clothing you don't allow her to have, so no dark black clothing, period, throw hers out.

She has no cell phone, no iPod not computer usage that is not in common area and is grounded for now, till she follows the rules.

Who is the parent and who is the child, come on get real here, a child does what they are told

And counseling since some of the behavior is beyond strange to harmful

jenniepepsi · Feb 17, 2011, 12:16 PM

Just another thought, but is it possible she is doing an experiment of some kind?
