grrr parents
i live at home and i'm 20 yrs old. i've been wanting to shave my head lately (buzzcut.. NOT bic) bcos i think i could pull it off. i've always been real experimental with my hair.. dying it weird bright colors (blue, red, orange, pink, green..) and my parents didn't like it at first but tolerated it. i just told them i want to shave my head and they freaked out. they've always been overly concerned with what other people think and they try to run that over to me. i've been raised to care what people think and it kinda sucks.. [haha now here i am posting to a message board caring what you think] i don't really agree w/ that way of thinking bcos then you're not ever really living for yourself. so i've always kind of rebelled from that idea and i guess one reason why i experiment style wise. :P so anyway, they're freaking out about it and i hatee their reactions almost to the point where i wouldn't do it. i've already talked to my manager and he was fine with it as long as i dont bic it he said.. which is not what i want anyway. so i think i'm being fairly responsible with my decision. part of me wants to respect my parents since i still live with them but part of me thinks i'm 20 and my own person and they don't have control over what i do anymore. i dont know. what do you think..
