Has anyone considered standing up to their mothers, for crying out loud??!! She isn`t going to kill you!! In fact, she`ll respect you for it- all this abuse talk is nonsense, the whole idea is completely melodramatic. If you consider this petty thing abuse, I don`t know how you`d react to a lot of things that do actually happen in households all over the world.

Thank you for sharing that extra information with us, McKee. That shows how serious this issue is. The post by Lauren is a particularly poignant instance of your plight. Listen, I might be able to give all of you a few pieces of advice about how to survive this situation better. Please e-mail me (piobmhorca@yahoo.ca). One more thing. I am mediating a forum on the National Youth Rights Organization website (www.youthrights.org) about the rights of young people in relation to their parents. Anyone, check us out.

The sad thing is that many of these mothers were abused in this way when they were children. When similar events occur to their children that cause them to get their hair cut, they repeat the same reaction.
Stylists should make a big fuss when a parent tries to do this. Unless there's a medical reason they should require a consent form to be signed by all guardians, a 7 day waiting period and a consultation with the salon owner.
If nothing else, it's unfair on other customers to see someone else suffer in this way.
Alright, I have to agree with the comment that was stated in the previous post about the abuse. My mom told me that her hair was about mid back length and then she misbehaved and as punishment her mother had her haircut to her chin... guess those things just are never forgotten.

How about they put them on the Jerry Springer show and have Steve give the mothers his famous supper dupper haircut! Im sure they would think twice before forcing their daughters to cut their hair!
I totally agree with u on the mothers getting the supper dupper Steveie cut, definatle get the point acrossed. and yes my mother is also one of these women.

Yeah give all the mothers forced haircuts but let the daughters do the cutting as revenge. then see these mothers force another haircut or style on there daughters. A head shave would be good, and maybe use nair hair remover instead of shave cream, that way the mothers will be bald awhile and have a constant reminder of there forced balding and think twice about doing it to there childern.

Thanks for the laughs Ashley, When i read your posts I just get a simile on my face. Would be an intresting show none the less be right up there with the shit they have on now. And if it`s real and a cat fight breaks out amoung mother and daughter that would be cool to see, just like Jerry Springer Show. And Ashley Happy New Year!!!!!!!
Hey Duke you got a good idea there, these girls can write to Oprah or Jenny Jones and there moms can be on the show and duke it out on live t.v. maybe then one of the two will come up with a comprmise.
Yeah right they would have to exist for that to happen. Actually, that may not be a bad idea because most of those people on those shows are also full of it
Maybe they can do a sick hair fetisher posing as a teenage girl so they can get their jollies show. that would be about 75% of these people anyway.

Let`s see: whose moms fit the abusive list so far: Rachel A, Karen, McKee, Lauren, that`s four. Sick. And it`s a whole new millenium. If I were the spouse of any of these women, there would be protection coming, in big quantities! I wonder if these mothers watch Oprah, because the recent "Get Real Challenge" with good ol` Dr. Phil showed the terrible effects of such controlling parents. Maybe you can get counselling. Someone mentioned to go to your school councellor - that`s a great idea. You girls should go there for advice. Are there other abusive behaviors in your lives?

I feel so sorry for you Lauren, I can`t understand why parent`s would ever do that to their children, it just seems so cruel to me. Please know that there are lots of people out there who are really sympathetic to you and your terrible loss and I for one feel for you immensely.
And once you are old enough, I hope that you totally get back at your mother by growing all of your long hair back and flaunt it in her face, knowing that she can`t make you cut it again!
Best wishes,
John

I completely understand how you feel everyone. i had hair that nearly touched my butt, I had been growing it since I can remember and never had hair shorter than about my lower back. Well my mom informed me in August that when I went to highschool I would be going with my hair above my shoulders, no questions asked, and that unless it looked horrible, it would not again reach below my shoulders until I was 18. The crying and threatening did not help, and she thought I was acting nuts. So she decided she would do it herself so I wouldn`t embarrass her in public. Then she wouldn`t let me keep the ponytail so she threw it away infront of me and then made me go to a salon and not I have blonde hair about chin legnth with short layers. i`ve had to go back 3 times since then to maintain the legnth and each time I think about how beautiful my hair would be now. i`m workin on getting her to let me grow it but either way it will be hard to get it how it was. i cry often, esppecially when I see other girls with their long hair who don`t have my problem. Girls, I know how parents are dont let them bother you.
