@gocu54 I totally understand being reliant on family members for support.
And hell yeah! Screw what other people say. You do what you think sounds cool. At the end of everything, people won't remember you for your hairstyle, they'll remember how you treated them and how they feel when they're around you.
Not everything is good with sight. Lots of people think someone looks good, but when they get to know them, their ugliness is on the inside.
