No hair longer than collar length? *gasp* Thats horrible. I seriously think I would die. I love my hair!

Saskir · 12-11-2005, 02:24 PM

i got around it by growing ALL my hair to just about collar length. That way I'm happy and so are the school. It sucks, but at least i can get my A-levels that way.

joyslayer · 12-11-2005, 02:37 PM

All of my hair is about mid-back length. It was much longer, but I cut it.

Saskir · 12-11-2005, 02:41 PM

Cool. I want mine that sort of length, but until I leave school, it's not going to happen

Ouch! That's harsh. The school my sister goes to has the same rules, but it just opened so we'll have to see how long that lasts. And I know that one of the all guys' schools around here has the same hair length rule that you have to deal with.

I go to a Catholic school in a very Italian area, so I've been hassled a few times about how I look by other students. Sometimes teachers don't like my makeup, but since I get pretty good grades and try not to act up in class, they usually get over it. It's the same for some friends of mine who are into the punk and emo scene. It's really just the other kids. I fail to see what's so wrong about wearing velvet on non-uniform days compared to, say, having a G-string poking out of the back of your jeans. *sigh* Don't get me started on the satanism theories people have about me. It's flipping ridiculous.

Saskir · 12-11-2005, 03:25 PM

Tell me about it...I get it all the time...

Jane13 · 12-11-2005, 03:41 PM

That rule about hair is so unfair... some people just look *good* with long hair.... like my buddy Sam. Long curly black hair is beautiful...^.^

I have like, long straight-ish brown hair, it in my profile. TeeHee. Once, i was standing outside the library, I was wearing my black trench coat, and this guy came up to me and asked me not to shoot him.

joyslayer · 12-11-2005, 04:16 PM

He was seriously scared of me. At first I thought it was a joke, but he was shaking. I don't think I'm THAT scary looking....

Saskir · 12-11-2005, 04:30 PM

That is really quite amusing. I had someone attempt to be amusing by saying that I looked like a retarded panda. What they didn't realise was that I was laughing at the image of a retarded panda...and so was everyone else in the room.

You sound like my buddy Mason 0.o

joyslayer · 12-11-2005, 04:38 PM

Well, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

winged_dreams · 12-11-2005, 07:43 PM

I'm afraid no one has ever commented on my clothes in a negative way. I don't dress goth though. I guess I don't look too 'preppy' since I always carry a book around. Having Lord of the Rings or Forgotten Realms makes me geeky. XD I'm still waiting for a person to try and scare me with their 'gothness'. Sorry for all the little labels when describing clothes.

joyslayer · 12-11-2005, 08:21 PM

I don't think there comes a day when someone doesn't negatively comment on my clothes. It can get quite old. I am able to finish their sentences for them. Most of them quite vulgar.

horrorgirl · 12-11-2005, 11:34 PM

I'm really glad that I am not in high school in this day and age. I wore all black,skull buckle boots,and a lot of black eyeliner all the time to school in the late 80's and even the teachers harassed me. However,they didn't think I was going to shoot up the whole school.

joyslayer · 12-12-2005, 03:40 PM

Everyone thinks that I am going to kill them, I mean, yes, it can be funny, but it tends to get old.

He's a good guy.... the school labeled him a terrorist because he was on a website that tells you how to get more sluchy at a gas station for your money

And he makes techno music.

Lovely_Mary · 12-12-2005, 07:34 PM

My school is strict because we can't have extreme hair dyes or have facial piercings. Lucky me that I'm can dye my hair bright pink soon because I'm on school holidays at the moment.

joyslayer · 12-12-2005, 07:58 PM

Uck, I still have two more weeks until my holiday starts.

dreamforthedead · 12-12-2005, 09:14 PM

Mine just started.. but I havent done school for months... grr have to be normal and go back in February

joyslayer · 12-13-2005, 02:39 PM

Hmm, why the long absence?

dreamforthedead · 12-13-2005, 03:58 PM

Because I move house alot... plus I am REALLY smart... well smart enough to make the teachers think I am hahaha, Im in year 11 next year and stilll dont really grasp nouns and verbs... Oh well

joyslayer · 12-13-2005, 04:01 PM

I hate grammar, like, pronouns, nouns, verbs. When I write, I don't think about what come first in a sentence, the adjetive, or the noun.

dreamforthedead · 12-13-2005, 04:04 PM

No im not math-and-science smart. I have vowed never to do maths again, but I just chose my subjects for next year *joy* rock music studies, psychology, art, graphic design, audio design... yay

joyslayer · 12-13-2005, 04:06 PM

Well, I sort of am, "book smart" But I happen to branch out from the 'math and science" to more of a, English/writing science. Its sort of hard to explain.
