Not what I thought it be...

I have always considered having long hair cool. If you have long hair you are automatically cool. For a long time I've had an image of what I planned on looking like when I got older. The main thing I always saw was the long hair. By the time I'm a senior (freshman now) I expected to be the coolest, baddest dude in the school mainly because of my hair. And I always felt like when I started growing my hair out that everybody else would think that it looked good that long hair is cool. Right now my hair is almost down to my shoulders in the back and just below my nose in the front but instead of getting all the compliments I hear people telling me to get a haircut, and most recently I'm trying to look like a girl. What about all the Rock Stars that have long hair are they trying to look like a girl, all the professional wrestlers that have long hair they must be trying to look like a girl too I guess?????? NO. I see now that not everybody likes long hair like I thought they did. To me it is still cool and it looks good. I like my hair and I will like it even better when it is truly long. If everybody else wants to stay with the boring buzz cuts and super short hair then let them.

Keep the faith dude. If you're a freshman now it'll be pretty long when you're a senior. Yeah, you'll still get comments but you'll know you really accomplished something.

Just ignore them. They are just jealous of your hair
(some are just jealous that you even have hair).
When they ask when are you going to get a haircut,
just ask "When are you going to get a brain?"

Gilee, I think that's a great attitude for you to have. Keep sticking with what you think is cool, not what other people say is, and you'll be much happier.

You dont have to have long hair to be cool.I have hair down to the middle of my back and I am just as cool as I was when I had a skinhead or a mohawk.Cool is a state of mind and you cant make your self cool you just are.Belive in your self.There are alot of women who like long hair and just as many who do not you cant please everybody so just please yourself.
