I just cut my hair.
I'm sixteen, I'm not two. I think I should be able to choose the length of my hair. I hate having long hair... Its hard to fix in the morning and it looks bad messy... With short hair, I can get up and go.
I'm not very experienced at cutting hair, so all I could do was a bob. It comes down to my jawline.
Getting a haircut may not be something you consider important to a teenage girl, but to me, it really is.
It looks messy to have split ends...
Anyway, onto another subject that I've brought up repeatedly but am not assertive enough to yell at you for.
I NEED a job. It's bad enough that I don't have a drivers lisence (mostly my fault for failing PE last year), but I really really need a job.
When I was younger, I would think, "Wow, 16. What a great age to be." And sure it is a pretty good age to be - if you can take advantage of all the stuff you are allowed to do, which I can't.
I really really want to work. I want to make money so I can go get my hair cut professionally. I want to shop for new underwear. I want to buy new clothes. I want to be able to play DDR with my friends more often. Every once in a while I want to treat Lauren to a pita with cheese at Souvlaki instead of the other way around.
Ever since my 16th birthday, you promised we will go get my social security card. It's been over 6 months. I don't think it's fair that I have to sit and wait to do something that would benefit you completely. Also, I am not the one who lost the first one. At first, it was Mom's fault, but now it's yours.
I feel really unimportant when you deny me 30 bucks so I can go get my hair cut and then put off getting my social security card. It isn't like I'm asking for something extraordinary, and I'm not going to dye my hair again. It was a one-time thing that I did for fun. If I kept dying my hair purple, it wouldn't be special anymore, would it?
Another thing that kills me is... Why the hell won't you ask Anne? She has every Monday off. I've ranted these same things to her on our walks, and she actually seemed kinda bothered that you wouldn't ask her. "We'll see if Joe can take us." is starting to sound like a longer way of saying "No." and it really pisses me off.
I know you've heard this all before, but every time I ask you, you just seem to shrug it off. It's really annoying.
