My mom won't let me change my appearance?
I'm 14, female, and I REALLY want to dye my hair, stretch my ears (goal size is a 0), and get a different hairstyle and wardrobe. But, my mom keeps saying no and that I'll look stupid. My dad thinks it would be really cool, so he's accepting of me changing my style. I've already slightly started changing the clothes I wear, but she won't let me do anything else. I wear a lot of black, band tees, vans/toms and flannels. I don't understand why my mom won't let me look how I want to, since it's my body and I should be able to express who I am. How do I convince her that I should be able to look how I want to? Thanks!
How to convince your mom to let you wear what you want?
If you have your own money you could buy your own clothing or at least some accessories to spice up the outfits you do already have. If you have to depend on her then you should try to convince her to let you pick out your own clothing. Tell her that you're growing up and she can't be there to dress you forever, tell her to trust you to make your own decisions. How will you be able to function and make your own decisions as an adult if she won't let you pick your own clothing now. She can't always be there for you. Be polite and calm and explain to her that you are your own person and you have your own interests and you would like to get clothing that reflects this. Reassure her that you are not going to dress provocatively and you're not going to buy expensive stuff. If all else fails then you're going to have to deal with it and wear what she provides you with, maybe when it's time for high school she will be more lenient.
How do I convince my mom to let me get a pixie cut?
Not everyone can pull off a pixie! My daughter was 17 and had to cut off her dyed black long locks and show off her beautiful blonde healthy hair underneath. She was accommodating her sister who’s upcoming wedding wasn't going to go with the goth look she was trying. The result? STUNNING! She looked like Audrey Hepburn gone platinum.When my girls were teens I had to accept that it was their hair and whatever the color or the cut they were wonderful daughters. I think that's where you should start with your mom. Are you at your best?Both were good students, not into drinking or smoking, drug free and put boys in the friends only category while in high school. Not perfect girls all the time but I was always proud of them.Remind your mom that it’s just hair that will grow back! Brag to her about your grades, your friends, your respect for her and everything else you have going for you! How could she say no to a darling haircut on such a mature young lady? Don't nag and become a pest. Keep it on the light side. Once she says yes don't give her a chance to overthink it. Go get that cute cut!

I talked about with my mom about getting a cartilage piercing for my birthday. She told me she was not crazy about it. I have two ear piercings on at the bottom than the top. I really want it because I like the style and I want to different. I want to get it done at a parlor because I heard if you get with a gun it may tear you tissue. Not everyone who has it trashy or slutty. I need some advice.

A few ideas:Start with just a bit shorter. Then next time shorter still. Etc. Get them used to how you look a bit at a time.Help your folks out a lot. After a while they may relent.Get a photo of yourself and edit it to show shorter hair. Or get photos of others with shorter hair. Do you like this? Do they?Ask them what you can do to convince them. Offer to do chores, etc.When it’s your birthday, ask for the haircut instead of a present.Offer to wear a wig when going out with them, seeing relatives, etc.Get them to explain exactly why they object. Then offer reasonable answers to each objection.
