Thinking About The Future Jul 26 2011, 03:12 AM
So I've always had this plan of nearly each year dying my hair different colors, next year I'm going platinum blonde with black in it:D, 2013 I'll go light blue with black & really light blonde in it. 2014 I'll go red with black&really light blonde again [; Then for my 16th B-Day I'm going all black with green, hot pink, red, blue highlights in it :D Then when I'm 18 I have to go all black no highlights because my mum says I won't get accepted in uni because of the way I'd look. Because I want my belly button & nose pierced, plus up my ear pierced. I hate that when I'm older I can't express who I am because people won't accept me & I won't be able to get a job. What do you think I should do? Only be who I truely am through my teens then when I'm 18 go 'normal'? D:

Milk it for all you can get, for as long as you can. :P A ton of girls can pull of this style and such into their 20's. People don't like you for who you are, and how you look, well F@%! them. Hell, i'll be like 90 on my deathbed and have like light blue hair if I want D:< Stay as you are for as long as you feel like you want to.

I've been debating the same thing with myself, especially since I can't even do what I want NOW D: I'll just go crazy during college I guess...

haha I'd have to agree... my mom says I'm not allowed to dye my hair or get any piericings until I turn 18 but at that point I'll only have half a year left of high school left after that, and It's not like I'll have the money to get all the tattoos and piericings I want... and with my goals of psycology, I don't know how it'd look... and I don't know how well my chances of getting into the air force would be with the tattoos that I want... always worrying about the future...

Funny thing about McDonalds...I used to work there. And as soon as I started caring about my appearance, and doing my makeup, the treatment I got became worse.

That's the thing, I don't wanna work in a headshop all my life. I want a career ;/ You see, as Courtney said, I did want to be psychiatric but it would look weird >_< I do want to learn how to play the guitar, so if I do that & go to art school/music school I can look however I want. Or I'm really into photography.._. idk.

Actually, uni won't care if you dye your hair or have piercings or tattoos etc. they just want the students that will do the best. It's jobs that care. Hence why I have to be careful with what I do with my hair and piercings :(

Look at me, I'm a tall, long haired, beardy guy with piercings and wear over the top heavy metal shirts. I've got into University and I work in a place where they play pretty much nothing but Chart Music, really as long as you can be convincing enough that you're good enough for the job you can do it.

A head shop is a retail outlet specializing in drug paraphernalia used for consumption of cannabis, other recreational drugs, legal highs, legal party powders and New Age herbs, as well as counterculture art, magazines, music, clothing, and home decor; some head shops also sell oddities, such as antique walking sticks.

yea for along time my parents worried about my appearance because they were scared it would ruin my chances for jobs and colleges. But where I live alot of jobs and school are allowing crazy hair colors and piercings and gauges and tattoos now. Your parents are right if you want to go to the Uni you really want to go to you might have to go 'normal' but if I were you I would check the dress code somehow to make sure ahead of time. But most importantly be yourself, if you want to go their enough then do it, but if your appearance means more to you than that then do what you feels right.
