Girl teens changing personality
| Sat, 10-13-2007 - 9:44am |
I have a 15 year old daughter who is truly gorgeous. She has recently wanted to become punk and wants to destroy her hair with odd cuts and colors. I do not want her to change and be that different. Do I let her do what she wants or restrict her from it?

Well ... I get a lot of flack for my 13yo DS' hair.
What you have described is really more of a fashion statement.
I think it's normal for teens to want to change their looks on occasion.

I agree that I would probably let her make the change in her hair, but agree that if there are personality changes going along with it that may be a point of concern. My dd has gorgeous long reddish hair and I would hate to see her change the color/style, but would let her if she wanted to. Luckily she loves her hair and the attentions she gets by having gorgeous hair.
Let us know how things go and if there are personality changes, I think she might bear watching. Otherwise it is probably just another phase.
