My parents are always on my back, and even object against my friends without getting to know them just because they look like they might be a smoking druggy or something..I can't dye my hair until I'm 14. Even then it has to be natural colors. I'm not aloud to get my belly button pierced til I'm 15, and no cell phone until 15 either. I don't know what they're holding back on..
Ditto. I have a few what they call "gothic" friends, they think they're strange, and are druggies just because of the way they dress. They don't know them at ALL, so I don't feel they can judge. (they are great friends, BTW. )
No cell phone until your 15?! My parents actually WANTED me to have one. I could care less about it, I only use it for "emergencies".
