I’m a 15 year old guy and have a pretty good relationship with my mom. One thing that we have arguments about is my hair. I am a Lebanese-Arab, so I have pretty curly, dry, thick black hair, and also have a pretty big forehead. Whenever it comes time for me to get a haircut, my mom always wants me to get a short buzzcut, but I prefer my hair to be a little bit longer, maybe an inch in length. The thing is, whenever I tell her that she says that I look stupid and disgusting, even I think it looks perfectly fine, and a lot better on me than a short ass buzzcut. I even showed her a picture of my grade 10 picture just to prove it looked fine, but that made it worse. I tell her I’m 15 years old and that it’s my hair so I should be able to choose how I want it, but she starts screaming and insulting me, to the point where my dad will literally have to drag me out of my house just to go the the damn barber. And whenever I go to school after I get my haircut, I usually get made fun of for having such short hair and a high ass hairline, which is so high it looks like I’m balding, and I have told her this but she just doesn’t care and gets even more mad. I just feel like most kids my age wouldn’t have to deal with this, and it is unfair for me. Nearly all the guys I know have long hair, while I have to fight to the death just to keep a fucking inch on my head. My mom isn’t even talking to me because of this. I just want to live my life in peace, but I can’t just because I want to keep an extra centimetre of hair. I am so frustrated. My mom wants to control every aspect of my life, from liking girls to where I go for university to even my own fucking hair. I’m so fucking sick and done with this. This is so frustrating.
