HS Sophmore wants dreadlocks

[BillyMc]

<p>

My sophmore son wants dreadlocks. (We are white) I have a few problems with this:

1. Yuck!
2. We live in a very conservative community and I think people will judge him and/or make assumptions.
3. Employment. He has a summer job from last year that has a policy against unusual hairstyles. (I forget the exact wording-but you get the picture.) He wants to get a different job-but so far no luck. (how would you find out if the new job allows it?)

1. He feels differently.
2. Why would you care if some stuffy people judged him for his hair?
3. He can cut it, if need be.</p>

<p>I had longer hair a couple years ago. I liked it; my mom said it looked bad. Looking back, I’m glad I now have short/medium length hair, but no harm done. I’d rather have control myself and make a minor mistake.</p>
