Yes we all do.
But being a goth is not what is important, it is being you. As long as you know who you are and what you are, you know more about yourself than most people do.
Remember that for the first genenration of goths, the 'goth' term, was a joke more than anything else. At that time you just considered yourself as being 'in the scene'. Hanging out with new romantics, punks and deathrockers and rivetheads.
The world changes, and so must 'the scene' do too. Goths themselves look a lot different from what they did in the start.
I think it is worse for you, because you have to be with those people everyday. when you get old enough to attend the goth clubs, you'll see, that the subculture still is very much alive, and will accept you for who you are.
Oh, and don't feel bad about the lack of response here. This board has been as good as dead for some time.
Good luck
