Something I wanna get off my chest

Hello people of the internet

It's the Kitten.

I just want to talk a little bit

Expressing yourself is a really good way to show people who you really are. I, for example, want to dye my hair crazy colors, but my parents (specifically my mom) will not allow me to. Granted I am only 15, I still think I should be allowed to have a say in MY OWN appearance. My mom is kind of strict in a way. If I wear 'too much' makeup, she'll tell me to take it off, or even ask me if I really go out with that much makeup on. My hair is naturally very dark brown, so dying it Bright colors like purple, pink, or blue would be difficult, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't show. And if I don't like the result, then oh well, that's my own fault. It won't ruin my hair because I have common sense, and I know how to take care of it.

Over summer, I got my hair ombred, but I decided I wanted a change. I originally wanted to just cut all the blonde off and go back to my natural color, but I recently (like, 2 days after I got about 5-6 inches cut off, which was like 3 weeks ago) decided I want purple hair. Like, either a deep violet or a lilac. I think that my mom will have more trust when I turn sixteen, but I honestly don't want to wait that long. (My half birthday is in 6 days) I really want to go to hot topic and get the bright purple manic panic and dye my hair, but I can't do that.

It just really pisses me off how my parents won't let me do that to my hair. I want to express myself, and I can't do that with clothing very much thanks to the stupid dress code at my school and, again, my dad. I currently only use makeup for self expressing, but I want to do more. I want a way to show who I really am if I don't want to wear makeup. Sure I'm quiet and shy to others, but I don't want to seem like a normal person. I am not normal by any means. I've been considering doing that temporary marker hair dye, but that's ink. I'm not putting ink in my hair.

I go around school, and there are people with bright hair and it makes me kind of envious of them. One of my friends dyed her hair purple over the weekend, and it looks so good. I see people who are younger than me with bright red and blue hair. Why can't I have that?

It's just.. ugh

Go ahead and comment. We can have a little discussion over this :3

Well I've wanted to dye my hair for a while. I even made an appointment for the day before yesterday but then I chickened out.
My friends got their hair coloured but then after a while their hair stayed to dry out.
Also they have a lot of split end from the damage.
So yeah. I get what you're saying about wanting to colour hair! I want to colour mine red but I'm a chicken Soo.....
As far as your parents are concerned, I think you should give them some time to get used to the fact that your growing up.
It's not that they are only strict (that they might be) but a couple of years ago you were a cute lil kid and now you're wearing makeup and colouring your hair and talking about boys (I'm assuming the last one) so it's kinda hard for them to see you grow up so fast.
Probably that's why they're so hard on you about it.
