    From the sounds of it that would be called depression. She may also be having a hard time with her mom and dad's divorce. My parent's have been divorced my whole life. (divorced parents before birth...great) Or it may just be her personality. I'm gothic, and most goth's aren't gloom and doom, I safely guarantee it. But I really do think it's depression and resentment. And the thing about not liking boys. That's not a goth thing either. That could be her way of coming out that she's gay, or possibly be a phase. I'm no therapist, or psychiatrist, and I've never met your step-daughter, but I think that it would be a good idea to recieve a psychiatric evaluation.

    : My fourteen year old step-daughter asked me
    : does she seem like a person who is always
    : doom and gloom? It totally shocked me
    : because I had told my husband this about her
    : personality word for word numerous of times!
    : She of course was not ever in our home when
    : I told him this. So when she said it was
    : like she had read my mind or heard my words
    : 50 miles away. I honestly answered and told
    : her yes that she is always doom and gloom
    : and that it's not normal for her age. She
    : went on the say that she is not the kind of
    : person who is like "HI how are
    : you!?" all the time,understandable but
    : still not right. I told her the three years
    : I've been knowing her I have seen her happy
    : or friendly whatever it was only twice. She
    : responded oh really? that's not good huh?.
    : She told me she has Gothic Friends and maybe
    : the way they act is rubbing off on her.
    : That just blew me away! She went on the say
    : the she isn't Gothic but her friends are. I
    : told her she needed to separate her self for
    : them. She asked should she stop being
    : friends with them and I told her no still
    : treat them nice and speak but find positive
    : friends to be with. She said the fact that
    : she was going to summer camp and wasn't
    : around them she seemed more happier she
    : said. But that was this past summer school
    : has been in and she is back to her
    : unfriendly introverted self and very
    : anti-social. I told my husband he needs to
    : speak to her mother about it even though I
    : told him that her mother probably would
    : brush it off and say it's just a phase. I
    : was right she told my husband "It's
    : just a phase". My step daughter is
    : very doom and gloom she will suck the life
    : out of a room when she enters. Do they
    : teach or talk about being doom or gloom? She
    : states she doesn't like boys is that part of
    : the Goth? She acts like she hates being
    : around us Love, family and structure what's
    : that about?
