hi
I'm a male guy with long hair that barely fits in a ponytail.I am getting a bit nervous about going into secondry school because i'll get slaged off a lot.plus lots of people thing I am a girl. any help on both subjects would be grateful
Just ignore them, there is no way you can go through school with long hair without being subject to ignorance and stupidity
dude when I was your age is when I started growing out my hair. it was a different time then (early to mid 90s, grunge was really big) but junior high was a blast and the hair got me alot of attention from girls :)
so dont sweat it, just be yourself and ENJOY being different from everyone else. I wish I was still that age!
My advice is to just keep growing your hair, ignore the
critics and keep your nose to the grindstone.
I started growing my hair in the 60s (around the time of the Beatles)
and got into lots of trouble for it. Ultimately after many years
and many battles I was able to keep it long. The school wasn't happy
about me having long hair but when you get the best grades in
school they have a hard time justifying throwing you out.
As far as people thinking you are a girl, I didn't get that much.
But then there were many other guys also growing their hair long.
Good luck growing it.

Hey i have just left school (2 weeks ago). Once you leave people treat you much more maturly (i think thats spelt ok?). But while your in school enjoy being different and just think to yourself "i dont care what they think, i like the way i am"
