My Parents Are Forcing Me to Get My Haircut!?
I know what you're thinking... how undemocratic. I feel like a prisoner, trapped amongst the walls of my house, and forced participate in my parents' 'orthodox' view of the world. I love my long hair... seriously. It's shoulder length, dark and curly - like Jim Morrison's. Even girls have started to look at me more... well I guess they couldn't exactly look at me any less - with short hair, I look like such a fooking geek. I've said many a times I don't want it cut yet, but my dad went along and booked an appointment... I mean, I'm 16 years old - surely I'm able to decide how I look myself? It's horrendous. Do you think my parents are being rash here? If so, any ideas on how I could escape this controversy? Oh, and here's a picture of me with long raven-locks. http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs200.snc1/6771_1178380856283_1130970110_552102_1450006_n.jpg The long hair is cool, right? Or perhaps, it's me who knows nothing about fashion...
Can your parent(s) force you to get your hair cut?
They always have. Till the time I was in eighth grade, I was forced to keep my hair as short as a bob cut. My dad really liked short hair on girls so that's the way it was. I was made fun of and bullied for it. I used to hate it that it had to be this way. Eventually, I got used to it.When I was allowed to grow my hair in eighth grade, I felt confident. Though this time, people mocked me for my voice (which isn't exactly a nice melodious voice like other girls. It's coarse and broken).I feel blessed to have gone through this because it made me immune to public comments on what I do. They'll always pick something to make fun of or to comment about. So just do what makes you happy ^_^
My parents are forcing me to cut my hair!?!? PIC INCLUDED?
PLEASE HELP!!! My parents are putting me through SO MUCH emotional and mental torture right now, I REALLY feel like running away from home and killing myself. First of all, they have such a big problem with my hair. It's long, it covers my ears, forehead and eyebrows. Here are two pictures I took of myself if you guys want to know exactly what I'm talking about. One of the pictures is a side view of the right side of my head and the other is a front view. Yes, I know I'm ugly, no need to say that when you're posting the answer. Here they are: http://s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa33... AND http://s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa33... Please be honest and tell me if my hair really does look bad on me. If it does then don't be afraid to say so. Pease don't say "Its your hair so they can't force you to cut it" because my mom said that if I don't cut it, she will take away my laptop, PS3, TV... EVERYTHING! Is there any way I can convince her to let me keep my long hair? I tried everything... I told her that I will keep it clean and combed but she still won't agree. Please help me because short hair on me looks WORSE than long hair on me. Even though I'm genuinely ugly, but long hair on me looks better than short hair, trust me, I had short hair before. But my parents (and all my friends) think that my hair looks 'weird' But the point is, I like it. Why should I change because of OTHER people? Please help me fast because I need to get my haircut tomorrow! If I have enough answers, maybe I can take somebody's advice before it's too late! Thank you SOOOO MUCH in advance! Best answer gets 10 points! PS - Incase none of you noticed, I have a pretty big nose. So if I do end up getting a haircut (which I SO don't want) then what kind of hairstyle would suit a guy who looks like me? Thanks.
How can i trick my parents into letting me have a haircut????? 10 points to best answer!!?
I'd say try the gum, but only try it near the amount of hair you want cut off. Don't mess around and get the gum all over your hair and have to get more than you want cut off. Another thing you might want to consider, hopefully you chew gum, parents aren't as dumb, as you think. You want them to think that it is an accident, not done on purpose. You could also, try the other person answer in regards to having a friend cut your hair by mistake, but that could backfire also. Do you curl or hot curl, or flat iron your hair? If so, then maybe you could burn it a bit, as I said before near the place or area you want your hair cut, and then you would definitly have to get it cut. But if you haven't been doing these things in the past. It's going to look like it's been staged. Big decision. P.S. Whatever you do, don't keep asking about it, if you plan on doing something soon, they will put 2 and 2 together and figure it out. Good luck.......................................
How do I convince my parents to let me cut my hair? I'm trans in the closet.
How do I convince my parents to let me cut my hair? I'm trans in the closet.On the issue of hair I would say, that although parents have a lot to say about their child’s behavior they do not own you. It’s understandable that parents would object to something that is bad behavior at home, that exposes the child to harm or danger, such as attending some parties, or staying out late, to a child neglecting their school work. They may have legitimate concern about their child wanting to tattoo something, because they know chances are a child may change their mind about the tattoo later and it’s hard to change. But hair is not one of those things. Even if they think it is silly for you to want to have boyish haircut, that it is some sort of passing whim that you will regret once you see how you look, it’s not irrecoverable, because hair grows back. My advice would be to cut it the way you want and then stand your ground. It’s a very difficult skill to learn. If your parents get angry and start yelling to keep yourself collected, you do not yell back or act out, do not become defensive. It is done. It was your decision, your head, you hair, it harmed NO ONE. You do not need to fight over it.There are some good answers to a similar questionHow can I convince my parents to let me get a boy cut?You also bring up the issue of being trans and in the closet. I can imagine being forced to wear long hair and girly clothes is painful, but coming out is scary or seems impossible. I don’t know your family, and certainly there are a lot of people stomping down on the issue, voicing opinions that if you were born with a penis, you are a boy and will become a man, otherwise you are a girl and will be woman, and sorry if you do not like it, but that’s how it is. May as well tell them you feel you are really a dolphin, right?Truth is some parents are not as bad as their kids think. There are so many stories on the internet ow parents who had been poo-poohing the trans ‘fad’ came around when their child came out and they understood that this is real. They became champions and supporters of their kid and that is an amazing thing, can you envision how great that would be?It may be worth knowing whether yours could become your allies or not. Currently you are assuming they are not, so coming out would not really make it any worse, would it?
How do I convince my parents to let me cut my hair again?
“Hey Mom, Dad, I need another haircut.”“Okay.” — You cut your hair.“No.” — Cut your hair anyway, if that's really what you want.Ok, and if they don't want you to cut your hair (seems like a likely event given the wording of this question), then do it anyway and watch them overreact with juicy satisfaction. Unless cutting your hair would truly harm them, then just cut it and cut it however you like.It's generally easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.The thing with cutting your hair shorter is that your parents can't force you to change your hair without cutting it even more. All they can do is A. get used to it. B. cry and complain until it grows out. C. treat you terribly because of how your hair looks.If they do either of the second two choices, they're being unreasonable and that's something you can have confidence knowing.But in many cases your hair is not going to be a big deal. Just ask them if you can cut your hair again. If they say no, think about the worst case scenario if you went through with it.Is it worth getting the haircut you want? Probably.Is it going to do any harm if you didn't? Probably not.Are your parents going to be unhappy? Probably.Is your happiness or theirs more important?
My parents won't let me grow out my hair?
I'm a 14 year old boy, and I'm having a little problem. For some odd reason, my parents despise the fact that I'm growing out my hair, and force me to get a haircut whenever they think I need one. I've tried negotiating with them, but it just always come down to no. They've also tricked me a couple of times, when they actually agree with me, and take me in, and they make me get a skin tight cut. They say it looks bad, and say that I look like a *** but when I ask my friends about it, they say it looks good. Is there any way I can convince them to let me grow my hair out?
How do I convince my mom to let me get a shorter haircut?
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.
