YOUNG people should not be condemned because of the way they dress. Fashion and fads have gone on for centuries.
My 13-year-old granddaughter loves the goth fashion.
All week she goes to school dressed in a smart school uniform.
Come Saturday and wow! On goes the black eye make-up, on go the goth clothes and down Blackburn she goes with her 64-year-old grandmother shopping and having a great time being dressed as she wants to be dressed.
Helping to carry gran's shopping and being polite and respectable to whoever she passes.
When we get off the bus she always thanks the driver.
I am proud of my granddaughter and enjoy our Saturday trips out.
Leave the kids alone and let them have their youth and their fashions as we did.
Good luck kids, enjoy being young and I hope no harm comes to you.
PATRICIA WORSWICK, Cook Gardens, Blackburn.
