Picture Purged
Yeah umm I like my long hair a lot but I think I am gonna have to cut it short real soon cause I've taken enough crap about it. I figure I'll cut it and then grow it out again for college (I'm a senior in high school this yr) Whada you guys think? Even though I know everyone here is so pro-longhair...
Well longhair seems to suit you even at a fairly short stage. It is your hair although and you should do whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Best of luck.
Or you could put up with the crap and then you won't have to start growing all over again.
If I were you I'd put up with the crap and let it continue to grow, after all your doing it for yourself and not others. I would not give up at the first hurdle. After all look after number one and won't worry what other people say, there are enough people in the world that do and don't get anywhere!!!

I think you look great. I think that cutting it because you plan to grow it out for your first year in college is a pretty bad idea... In college, especially your first year, you'd want to look your best and there's just no time to go through the awkward stage again. So I think the decision here is between cutting it and keeping it short at least through your first year or letting it grow nicely.

Like so right Kiat, great pic BTW.:-), there are two many people that have got issues with how you look etc. Just be yourself and not worry about what others think.

I wouldn't cut it soon "cause I've taken enough crap about it." If you like long hair and it IS for you, forget the meddlers who are giving you a hard time. Really, what is so great about them? Picking on you is hardly a trait to be proud of. And, ANYONE can be a "critic."
If you DO cut it NOW, you will STILL meet-up with people in College who will mock you because of your hair. (People who do this are really very insecure people.) BUT...........if you continue to let it grow and it becomes longer than it is now the meddlers suddenly are silenced. It is at that point that you start hearing compliments. By the time you get to College you will be a true "Longhair," and the "nasty comment phase" won't even be there. You will have arrived at the "Compliment" stage.
It may not be a good idea to jump into a cut. It looks like you have been growing for a year already, so why cut and then regrow?
You should'nt care about comments you hear. Long hair seems to be the easiest target for young males when it comes to critisism. If you do cut it you will most likely regret it, not to mention the warmth it will provide for this comming winter.
I hope this helped a bit.

Well I never want to have super long hair or anything I think I'm just going for the shaggy look..
Yeah, I figured you were just following the trend of having shaggy hair.
So it doesn't really matter if you cut or not, because you're going to anyways. Before you do though, I must say I think it would suit you more than a buzzcut.
It would be a waste.
Hi there!
If you like your hair then you have a right to keep it regardless of other people's comments. I think it looks great as it is. When mine was that length it looked terrible unless I froze it solid with gel!
Don't cut. You will feel so bad if you cut it because of pressure from your friends, you might feel like their tool, you know what I mean. This winter is going to get cold so I'm sure that hair will be a great insulator.
I replied to your previous post, not sure if you've checked it, but it's relevant to this, here's the link:

I think it looks great on you...
But the real question is what do YOU think. If something makes you happy, stick with it (within reason - I'm not talking about drugs or anything here). If having long hair makes you happy, and you feel it's 'you' then who's to say you shouldn't do it???
People will always have different opinions to you - and looks is one of the areas that people are most influential with. If you were celibate and someone said you'd be happier having sex, you'd be less likely to change than if someone said you'd look better with black hair... you know what I mean?
Do what makes YOU happy, and forget what other people *think* is best for your looks.
Good luck :)

it does not seem as though you are very upset by the thought of CUTTING it...
A Longhair at heart would be pacing the floor and wringing his hands
in anticipation of cutting his hair short.
Anyway, follow your instincts...
and Good Luck
Well, I don't quite understand what you mean by "crap"? I thought this was a discussion board. Is this an everyday occurance where your parents are insulting you, and telling you to cut it, or is it friends?
If it's your parents, they should really understand.
If it's your friends, and you can't get over the fact...well, your eventually going to break down to their demands and cut it. Follow the lemonings.
You could allow yourself to believe that your going to grow it again for college, but if your going to buckle under your friends pressure, do you think you will be able to withstand pressure from people that you are trying to fit into?
My advice still stands for ignoring people....a set of headphones.
Happy growing/cutting and enjoy the holiday!
I for one would like to see an After pic to decide if it looks better short. It might help me decide myself to cut mine or not.
