Dear Baby Bats,
Welcome to the gothic community, I have been a goth for five years and I too went through the baby bat phase. So I've come up with a little advice to help your transition.
To start off, take your transition slowly, it took me a while and still to this day I'm working on my style. Start off by looking into your local thrift stores, they are cheaper than gothic clothing brands and they make your look more unique! Not to mention the fact that there clothes are much more fun to DIY.
Look into the music, do your research. Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and The Cure are a good place to start, remember goth started from the music so it is very important that you know the basics. If you don't like all of it that's fine but the most important thing is to appreciate it.
Makeup is amazing! You will have a blast playing around, don't worry if it's not perfect, my makeup never is. And it takes lots of practice, try working with your liner and lips first, I find that those are the staples.
Finally remember not to take anything too seriously and have fun!
