: I'm 15 and have been growing my hair for 4 years. My parents say it is getting to long, but I want it longer. Another problem, I tend to dress a little androgynously. Tight clothing, vibrant colors, I guess the combination is not to fun for my parents. How do I convince them to let me be?
: P.S Im straight, so thats not the problem
I'm straight and like wearing bright colours. Right now I'm wearing red leather shoes, and no I don't mean burgundy, they really are red. I like bright solid colours for shirts too (or tie-dye!). Wearing a dark purple shirt now, so that's a poor example, but I never wear a plain white shirt, ever, or a black pair of shoes, even with a suit and tie. What is it with the idea that men should wear 'earth tones' with white or pale blue shirts, for example? Fine if that's how someone else wants to dress but I don't.
As for hair, that hardly needs words. Just look at my mug shot.
Convincing your parents is a whole other issue. I don't think mine ever complained about what I wore, but my mum always had plenty to say about my hair. Still does. She's 82 and I'm 54 with a wife and two kids.
