School

Just some Boy- OMIGOSH! that is too funny! Geez your 'Rentz sound harsh...My Parental units don't really care how I style my hair. They only say that I can't put ANY kind of dye in it. not even temporary...tears oh sob! I have always wanted red, curly hair...As lucky I think you are to have curls naturally, I have to admit I do think I would get bored...besides, my thick hair has never held any kind of curl in its life! lol...I think it is good that you have ur own style that is different from ur parents. rawk on rawk on!!

My parents actually hate that I straighten my hair. I keep being told that "People without curls DIE for them, YOU have them naturally, and you have to RUIN youre beuatiful curly hair and make it straight and boring! why?"

They actually flat out told me not to once, and took away my straightner. I got my mom back, though. I put bleach in my moms conditioner, and it turned her blue-black hair orangy-green-grey. I got in big trouble for that but it was worth it.

Time flies like an arrow,
Fruit flies like a bannanna,
Youre breakfast was once a baby chicken!

Writing it is only second to actually living it.

In this world, lots of parents don't know how to parent their kids. Her mother's irrationality is in no way linked to how many inches Schoolgirl had unwillingly lopped off. Once that's done, people who are obsessive to that point to force a hairstyle on someone usually are more obsessive about smaller things everywhere else leading to a very crappy quality of life. Now that the hair's gone, do you sincerely think her mother will be happy / remain happy ?

I (*6th*-ing) doubt it. Look at the O.P. Is she happy ? No. That's all that counts. But by the post we do not know how long this "trim" was, but it was unwanted by the person it was done on.


I am honestly sickened when posters like you are trying to set some moral standard (there isn't any, sorry to break it to you) that parents are best, that they know best, and because of the previous 2 points, they can force whatever they feel is "best" on their kids.


parenting : The rearing of a child or children, especially the care, love, and guidance given by a parent. From that, add it up. Her mother didn't care what she thought of her hair, didn't even guide her on her path (if she wanted long hair, the best thing a parent can do is open the doors of possibilities to a child). You know the trio Duty, Loyalty, Honor.......... if you don't have one of them the other 2 become totally irrelevant. Same thing here. If a parent is unwilling to guide a child on the road called the child's life, and is unwilling to care about the desires of the child, "I love you" becomes the phrase the most devoid of meaning humanity has ever had.



Just because you got raised one way doesn't mean you have to use that as standard, and repeat it ad infinitum.

Maybe her mother isn't as bad as I'm portraying her. But if I put myself in their position, and not their mindset, if I would regret anything they would do, then something is clearly wrong with the picture. That's how I evaluate how good a person is as a parent.


** Yes, I realize when a parent has to put their foot down. But if they can't justify it beyond "I want this done, I don't want them to do this.", they shouldn't be making those decisions. **

Oooohhhh! Dah!lol Thank's Lyris.

Yes, Schoolgirl let us know how your doing with your new cut?

When I hear stories like this, killing people is illegal (which whether I could or not advocate this on the boards, I will not risk it), but go get a can/bottle/whatever of Neet and leave some in mom's hair while she sleeps. You don't need to do the whole head, just enough (a disfigured blob shape, at least 25 % the surface of her head) to pass the message. And if you can, arrange to live with another relative who is less obsessive about your life. If she screwed up hers, don't let her take it out on you. She already did, so dish it back.



Apparently, cutting someone's hair isn't abuse, so removing it shouldn't be either.


(Or swap the contents of a leave-in conditioner (mixing it up if both creams may be a good idea)... who knows, if she does it to herself, all the better.)

At the beginning of the school year last September (i'm in 7th grade) I was trying to grow my hair longer. My mom told me that I had to get it trimmed to look healthy and neat for school. I begged and pleaded with her but nothing worked to change her mind about getting my hair trimmed for the start of school. My mom took me to the salon and I looked at pictures of different hairstyles & haircuts hoping to pick one that I really liked. My hair was trimmed by Mandy who didn't look very nice (maybe that was why she was the only free stylist at the salon). I got my hair washed and then I waited for Mandy to work on my hair. She came over and started combing my hair and then trimmed it. I really hoped it wasn't going to look too bad although I was worried that she would trim way too much of my hair. The end result was a top-of-the-ear blunt cut and I was not happy. Sorry the post was so long!!!!
