You guys don't know how happy i am to find a site like this.
Im constantly shunned in school for having long hair and people are always shouting "Get your hair cut!"
Why can't people understand? Why can't people comprehend the aspect of free will?
If any of you have MSN messenger, do feel free to add me as a contact. I'll be keeping my eye on this site, for sure.
I agree! Why should men be boxed in to having short hair just because social norms dictate it? To hell with normal, make your own normal...Besides if nature had intended men to have short hair all the time, it wouldn't grow eh?
Have you always had long hair, or did you grow it out in school?
In my school the situation is dire, although no physical bullying goes on because of it.
any one who dares go a week without a buzzcut is branded a mophead, and ridiculed
It's a shame that no one else at your school has enough testosterone to grow a "real" head of hair :-D

Hey, i only started growing it during secondary school really.
i've had it cut a few times when younger, and once in secondary before ninth year.
People at school never really say bad remarks about my hair except for my friends when they joke around. There are only 3 long haired guys in my school besides me. 2 of my friends from my old school last year and a kid with a mullet.
My old school, however has close to 20-40 longhairs. Seriously.
You deserved to find this site, for it forever proudly shows off free will and conscious decision-making of individuals confident and secure in their appearance. Ignore the haters, you're always going to get it somewhere. Right now I get it in college, and it's always been from Asian/Muslim kids - once they even called me a "grungee" and made loud ape noises behind my back, so apparently they can be as racist as they want and get away with it.
Another time,
"Oi, when you gettin' a haircut, mate?"
Oh please.
Just ignore them, you're far more willing and confident that they will ever be.
Welcome Alex, this is the site where longhairs unite! Ignore the remarks, they're gestures showing weakness of the individual!
Long hair forever!

wear ur hair the way u want too!!! dont listen to ppl with negative nething to say. what matters is what u like and feel most comfy with. =D
let it grow!
I have never had any guys make fun of my hair or tell me to get a haircut. All of the guys at my school thought my hair was really awesome and kept telling me to grow it longer and longer. I had a couple friends of mine that were girls tell me I looked better with short hair, but never anyone make fun of me or ridicule me. Am I the only one that never had anyone say anything bad about their long hair? I was a track team captain and was involved in body-building though, so I don't know if that had any influence on what people said to me.
I'm in college, so it's a slightly different milieu from high school, but I've had a similarly hassle-free experience, at least thus far. I had a few compliments from women I work with, and one of the librarians I work with at the library just today told me my hair looked much nicer longer, which left me very pleasantly surprised!

Maybe your hair isnt that long then.
I used to get remarks about my hair when I was in secondary school but that was before I decided to grow my hair long but it was longer than most guy's hair anyway. But yeah the reason was partly because it looked awful and when I decided to get grow it long, I started straightening it too and since then the same people who used to tell me to get a haircut are now complimenting my hair. In my opinion it's not about the length of your hair but how it looks, but seeing as I don't know how yours looks and I don't know the people you know I can't say for sure, I'm just speaking from my experience.
I'm 57 years old and decided to grow mine long while I still can, to see what it will look like, I guess. Oddly, I haven't gone gray yet..I even had it highlighted To emphasize the red in it! The other day a co-worker said "You ought to chop that mop!"
Not going to.. the boss hasn't even mentioned it. I wear it in a tail at work, tucked under my collar and look trim from the front that way. Just iggy those who feel they have to say something, if you can.. It really is just as rude as mentioning a heavy person's weight, a plain person's looks, etc.
It comes with the territory. You have to expect it if you grow your hair long. (The comments were worse back in 1969 last time I grew it really long.)
