Help! My mom wants to cut off my beautiful long hair short for summer school! EEK!

People *do* have emotional attatchements to such things. Just because you were able to do away with it doesn't mean anyone else would want to. So, in reality, if you were, you can't hope to understand it.

And cutting her hair short is a complete submission, her mother wanted it gone before the holidays. She WANTS her to cut it herself.
Sometimes, you have to stand up for things.
All this is doing is allowing a semi-abusive parent more control.

She has made it clear she does not want short hair. I don't care how much experience you have, it is entirely wrong and most people agree with me.

This is the kind of bull**** that causes teens to be unruly in the first place, I understand that much.

It looks like we have a real "chicken and egg" situation here. You say parents punishing children causes them to become unruly, but if the children weren't unruly to begin with, why would the parents feel the need to punish them?

I agree with that last post! How can you people even make those judgements based on 2 lines of *"TEXT"*....in my opinion it seems real but I think thats missing the point...this is a good oppurtunity to teach some of you internet users that this is not all the "real world" ...this is the internet....a place where a lot of false info might be and a place where a lot of very accurate info might be.....take it as you want but when you are communicating with online communities whether the people are "real" or not it will never be the same as a non internet relationship....case closed?

hi duke,

how do you know the information is false?? can you read peoples minds?

the person may not have replied because their computer is broken, they've been busy with other things, their dead / in hospital or on holiday.

i don't agree that this is lying - its just someones imagination. their putting these posts up as a work of fiction, do you say ' i'm not buying a book thats fiction because its lying'. i guess the answer is no, so why is this any different?? all the people you call trolls are just sharing their fantasys with like minded people.

the 'trolls' are doing nobody any harm by putting these posts on here, its just a bit of fun. i think the trolls have the right idea in that these boards are not to be taken seriously. they are here for people to chat about hair and have some fun.

i think nobody on here has the right to call anyone a 'troll' without some solid proof. the way you say 'trolls' have a certain way of working makes them sound like a serial killer not someone whos having a bit of fun.

if trolling wasn't on these boards then these boards would be a lot more boring. they are the people who probably think 'this boards been quiet for a bit, lets start a topic up to get people talking again' the topic may be false but at least it has got people talking and discussing the rights and wrongs of cutting off a girls hair as punishment

i say KEEP ON TROLLING!!!!!

Duke,

No I'm not the original poster.

Just because someone isn't registered it doesn't make them a troll - I'm not registered but I'm not a troll.

People sometimes do cut peoples hair while they're asleep, its done out of spite or as a cruel joke. It happened to a friend of mine when she went camping with school. (now is that trolling or is it real?? you tell me as your the 'expert' on trolls)

So who is this 'we' that take the board seriously??

Like I said before how do you know people are who they say they are?? For all you know Kuroneko could be a troll, she might also be a 50 year old man, who is a pervert who likes talking about hair and he pretends to be a woman in her 20's or 30's. Yes she puts down about ignoring trolls and hoping they go away but how do you know this wasn't put up to make people think she isn't a troll? (i mean no offence Kuroneko)

You have no idea on who is a troll and who isn't unless you know the person yourself.

Troll's aren't treating it as a fetish board. They probably put the posts on this board so that the people who visit this board have something to discuss or give advice about. If its false, so what? at least its keeping the boards alive which is more important.

Its people like you Duke who put people off posting of these board because they are worried they will be accused of been a troll.

You say books were written to entertain people, well that is what the trolls are doing! They are making up these fictious posts so that people can be entertained.

So are you saying that when you go on an internet message board you expect every single post to be 100% accurate and truthful?? Get yourself off of the weird world you live on and come back to planet earth! Not every detail on the posts will be 100% truth, people may change small details to make it sound more interesting - this is called 'artistic licence'.

I know people take some websites seriously and that they put a lot of time and effort into these sites, hair boutique been one of them.

With regard to the moderators they do a good job at keeping the site fetish free but its a hard job as its a fine line between what is fetish and what is just fantasy. When people like Gord (no offence Gord) say they prefer females with long hair couldn't that be read as a long hair fetish? Also the member called 'loveshort&blonde' (no offence loveshort&blonde) couldn't they be seen as someone who has a fetish for short blonde hair looking at their screen name? Its very hard to tell the genuine fetishists from people who don't have a fetish.

People come here for advice and opinions because they know people here are friendly and helpful. They don't come here to be interrogated as to wether they are guilty of trolling or not.

I think you need to leave people on here alone Duke as you will put people off posting and that could cause these wonderful message boards to close due to poor posting.

Duke you aren't a moderator so stop acting like one! You just sound like a grumpy, party-pooping hermit who hates people when they have fun. I think on the subjects of books Duke you would make an excellant Mr Scrooge from 'A Christmas Carol' or even the Grinch!!

Duke,

i'm not trying to shut you up, i'm just making a point that you can't accuse someone of been a troll or of having a fetish without 100% solid proof.

ok so some posts are wrong but they are rare on these boards - the moderators usually put people off posting 'off-topic' posts.

What is annoying is this post! It is like the energizer Bunny- Still going! Can we please move onto the next argument? Debbie
