    Ok, so usually people who need homework help on here, bore me. But I have to get a 5 page essay written about dreadlocks. And I need to survey as many people as possible. So if you can, please answer this. (this is for people without dreads... if you have dreads, pm me, And I'll have different questions for you). THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I get kicked out of school if I fail this class.
    the survey is small and simple. and I'll love you forever if you help me. Be completely honest. I don't care what you're answers are as long as they are honest. I wont be using anyone's names in the essay and I wont hold anything you say against you. (if you want to put answer you think others will get mad at you for, you're more than welcome to pm me the answers)

    How do you react to stranger with dreads whom you run into in public places?
    Do you know anyone with dreads?
    If yes, why did they get them?

    Because they live in Northern California? I never asked.
