How can I tell my mom to let me grow out my hair?

Well, my mom always takes me to the hair stylist and always requests by herself which hair I'm getting. She always makes me cut my hair so short, and I hate it. Even other people admit that it's ugly. I was able to actually grow out my hair from summer, and now my mom made me cut it again. And worst of all, I HATE IT!!! It looks so stupid...and I'm in 8th grade. Shouldn't she let me get what hair I want by now? She always says when I want to keep my hair that I want to be a transexual and how it's so girly that I want to keep my hair longer. My hair is so hideous...

Apparently your mom hasn't seen the other 8th grade boys lately....the longer hair is in. I have an 8th grade son. There is no way I'd tell him how to do his hair. If it looks bad, the kids at school do that for me :)

He had longer hair that I really liked - longer bangs, but he kept it shorter on his neck, but it was generally one length. He decided to get it cut and was so sorry and now he's is letting it grow back out..

Unfortunately, while I agree with you that you should be able to chose, I'm not sure I have any good tips on how to convince your mother of that. 8th grade is a really tough age and I know it must be hard if your really feeling bad about your hair - and I don't mean that in a shallow way. I wish I could talk to her for you.....

Vera's got a good idea - see if another relative will talk to her :) Good luck.

Well I'm guessing you're a guy. But just tell her that you're old enough to make your own decisions. And tell her that you want to try something new, maybe show her some pictures of hairstyles that your looking at. This should help, and if it doesn't, call in your dad.

How can I tell my mom to let me grow out my hair?

I'm a mom and I wouldn't dream of going to the hair stylist with my son or daughter that is in the 8th grade, and give instructions on how YOUR hair should be styled.

You are old enough to start to make this type of decision for yourself.

And I don't mean any disrespect to your own mother, but she shouldn't be putting you down either with her transsexual comments.

Do you have a dad that can step in or another adult relative that you can talk to that can help persuade your mom to realize that you are not a little boy anymore and that you need to start making this kind of decision yourself?

How can I tell my mom to let me grow out my hair?

I would just calmly just ask her to sit down and talk to her about how you feel. Open and honest communication with your parents is always best. Be prepared to meet your mom halfway on this though. I had short hair when I was a teen because of the same old fashioned standards and I changed it when I finised college.
