My dad made me cut my hair

He has always been against me expressing myself. He decided i needed a haircut. I didnt want one. He said that if i didnt cooperate there would be "consequenses"... He has abusive in the past, so i went along with it. ANd i HATE the haircut. I miss my hair. I lost like 2 or 3 inches. and instead of being sexy and curly, it is all "flippy outy" now. What is worse is that he thinks he was doing a nice thing for me.
I cant wait till i move out. If anything like this happens again, I'm packing my things and leaving.

 

Hehe ahhh well i dont agree with what your farther did, u should be allowed to express yourself freely as long as ur not bringing harm to any one, and i doubt ur hair was choking any one so i remember when i got my hair cut, and i only started realisng how much my hair ment to me, was a sad day to see it fall to the ground. it will grow back but does it matter what it looks like? my hair didnt look too cool, but i loved it beause it was me, what i am, not having to cut it because others want me to. i cut my hair for no reason to be honest, and it sucked but yeh, its growin back so

 

Oh I am so sorry. But being a girl and all, there's never really much pressure to cut our hair, ya know? I'd have to say though, that a guy's hair is SUCH a turn-on for me. Just beyond belief. My boyfriend's hair is down to his shoulders... all thick and curly at the ends... dark brown... Hair is so incredibly sexy and expressionistic. However, Hess is right... It'll grow back and then you'll be all irresistible and gorgeous and you'll exude sex appeal!

 

Ah, blah, blah, blah... so you had to cut it... it will grow back on. You are his until you are 18... so just obbey, dammit!

 

kids were kicked out in the 60s sometimes for not cutting their hair.

 

What's being expressed by growing your hair? Do you grow your nails long too? Is your body fully grown? Is it some sort of freedom of personal growth? I think a more productive way to express oneself is to paint a picture.

 

i think it expresses something in this day n age if he is male

 

actually, i do grow may nails, and painted them too, until he threatened to kick me out. I think it is my right to grow my hair if i want to. Just because the government sees me as his property until i am 18 does not mean that I am his property. Youth have minds of their own. Youth are people. We should have rights, and i should be able to dress (or not) and groom myself (or not) however I wish to. I am not just an extension of my parents.

 

At my School, You cant cant your hair past your Ears, or passed your collor , which rally sucks, because i have to cut my hair, real short,

 

next time your father wants you to cut your hair, tell him you want it completly bald so you can freak him out, or just give him a good shave while he's asleep...or you can just kill him.

or you can do something outrageous and try and act sensible towards your parents!!!! wow!

 

i feel my hair express' that im allowed to look how i wnat and i realise that, i felt free and more open when i had my longer hair, i also felt i had lost apart of myself when i cut my hair.

ALSO i felt comfort in my hair, knowing people could accept me no matter how i looked, although i did get sum piss taken out of me by my m8s i know it was all just fun. let me ask you, whats expressed by your trousers? your shoes? your finger print? each thing shows something about you and who you are, what you are, and often how u feel.

 

Tell him only if he shaves his head.

 

I think this would make sense if painting was a talent that everybody had, some of us just suck at art.

 

yeah when my dad was 15 (1961) he had long hair and they were going to kick him out of school unless he cut it. So he and his other long-haired friend just combed it up on top of their heads with a shitload of grease. lol......

......the following year he was kicked out because he wouldn't appologize to his shop teacher because he called him some names after the teacher chased him around the classroom with a chisel.....

 

What I dont understand is what is their problem? Why do people feel so threatened by how long someone elses hair is? Its madness, control-freakishness. Its crazey!!

 

Hey man I've been grwoing my hair since June of last year...I look like one of the Doobie Brothers what sucks for me is...I get all of that cut off everything over my ears is gone in August.
Its wrong that your parents won't let you express yourself, really its just outrageous.

 

Yes, it's just hair, but it's your hair! I can see why you are upset. There are always consequences, but i'm afraid parents never forsee some of the consequences themselves, such as their children's resentment.
I can't help but think that if parents were more easy going regarding their children's personal and harmless expression, their kids would rather like to be around them more than dream of running far away.

WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
charredacacia's dad is a bitch,
he's a big fat bitch,
he's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world...
etc.

HOW DARE HE!!!!!!!!!

 

my paprents always tell me to cut my hair, saying things like "people will treat you better. its for your own good, and it will look better." i think the best reponse is to say "i think you would look alot better with a mohawk." yeah. they also used to get upset that i dident shower, so they poured a bottle of shampoo in my hair. hehe i thought i was kindof funny.

 

I'm so sorry. No wonder you are dope sick. If that is your pic, you just look too young and tender to be treated that way.
