To begin with, I used to think I was one of the only guys at my school who wanted long hair. I realize that is not the case.
This week, I have talked to about 8 guys who want or have long hair, some of them people you never would've guessed wanted long hair (Honors students, track star, a teacher, and a police officer!) all of them want or have hair at or below the shoulders (one has hair at around his belly button), and nearly half of them want hair below the pecs or near the waist. I guess a lot of guys want long hair after all. The point I'm trying to make to us young guys is to not be discouraged. There are A LOT of guys who want long hair, and most of them would gladly talk about it to you (I am actually meeting with a group of guys once a month to talk about our hair growth!) Try to reach out to someone who wants or is trying to grow their hair long. If you have parents that won't let you grow it until college or until your senior pictures are taken, talking with another guy about it really helps. Most likely, someone will understand the struggle!
Sorry about this long post, but it needed to be said!
Just remember, there are more guys than you think who want long hair, many of which probably sit next to you in study hall, or eat lunch with you, or whatever!
For Native people like ne it is part of many Native cultures. Many times I have read stories avout other young Native men who once they grow their hair longer we find a peace and connection e with our First Nations and our cultural traditions. The journey to manhood is not easy for many of us Native men since we seal with bigotry on a regular basis still today.

There is a lot of depth in Native cultures.
