And once again, here I am. Gah, I feel like I'm haunting this place with all my constant problems that I seem to acquire. Anyway I'll get to the point.

 

Obviously this has to do with my hair. Well see, I want to get it cut. Short. The problem? PRETTY MUCH MY ENTIRE FLIPPING FAMILY.

 

I don't know what their problems are but they just will not let me cut it. I mean a mini haircut is fine, but getting it cut at the length I want it at is out of the question. And they never say why either! The last excuse was that I would regret it. That's because my mom cut her hair seriously short when she was younger and I guess she hated it or was upset by it or whatever. But honestly, IT'S JUST HAIR. It will GROW back for heavens sake! And if it doesn't look good then oh well! You get over it, move on, and wait for it to grow back out!

 

Another thing is that what I'm asking doesn't seem that outrageous to me. At the moment my hair is somewhere above my waist or maybe near the bottom of my shoulder blades. I want it cut so it's up by my shoulders or maybe not even touching my shoulders at all. It's not like I'm going to get a buzz cut or anything. Another thing is that (even though this sounds kind of morbid) I would like to get it cut before I die because it's something I really want to do. I know, sad, but it's just been a thing with me lately.

 

But yes. This is the problem. It seems like a pathetic problem compared to most other problems people have but what can I say, I don't know what to do anymore I ask, they deny, and they won't tell me why. The answer is always just "NO" with a definite air of "Because I say so."

 

Any advice?

 

(P.S. Sorry for any typos. It's late here and I'm tired and not in the mood to proof read)

Say "pwease?!" repeatedly until they say yes.

You could try giving then a speech about how it will grow back a couple times, and try to convince them you won't regret it. Maybe try to compromise and get it cut a little longer than you intended and then try to get it cut again a little later after your family gets used to the length?

Cut it yourself, nothing they can do about that.

Give up?

No, I'm kidding. You gave ua a convincing argument, try doing the same to them. Also, ask why. If it is "because I say so" tell them that not a real answer. If nothing else works, go get it cut yourself.

Yeah, I also believe "Because I said so" is not an answer at all. That's really silly of them. My mom lets me get my hair cut when I think it's too long. I even got a buzz cut once. It was when we went to Walt Disney World for my 15th birthday last year, because I kinda got tired of sweaty hair. If you have allowance, you can sneak out, go to the nearest barber shop, or the nearest Walmart, because, I know some Walmarts in Lake Geneva & Delevan that have a built-in barber shop. But remember, sneak out, & don't let your family know of this, let alone have them have anything to do with it.

... before you die? /shot

 

Hmm strange. cutting it above your shoulders isn't even short. That's considered a medium cut. I guess you can save up the money and get it cut yourself (which shouldn't be too hard since haircuts can be like $8.) You could show them some hairstyles that you want to base your cut off of, to show off how good it looks. That's what I did when I wanted to convince my parents to let me cut my hair like Kairi. (I never ended up going through with it, but I at least got the permission to do so... after three days of convincing. Ha ha)

Be like me and pester them to let you and that it's your body, your hair and frankly it's not fair that you're not even able to make a decision about a hair cut. Just be persistent. That's how I convinced my parents to let me cut my hair, and mine was at my waist, maybe longer, and I got it cut to my shoulders. I didn't love it, but I don't regret it because I was happy to get it cut the way I wanted for once.

Thanks for all the great advice guys ")

 

And sorry, I feel like last night I may have been in a ranting kind of mood.

 

I'll try all of the things you guys said and if worse comes to worse I really might consider sneaking out and getting it cut all on my own ^^;

 

Wish me luck
