Men with long hair & insults

Hey everyone sorry about the emoticon, accidentally clicked it and it won't leave, I can't delete it for some reason. Anyways this is my first post and it's a good question I think ^_^

Well I still go to school and I'm a metal kind of guy with long hair about 3 or 5 inches below my shoulders. It's well kept and all. But the problem is the boys in my class and well basically the whole school and town make fun of me or laugh at me or give negative looks. And I have to admit, for a metal guy I'm quite mentally weak, and don't take insults well. I worry a lot, etc.

I was just wondering if anyone here can please me some insight on how to react to their insults and looks. Thanks everyone and sorry for the huge post that I wrote.

(please don't say "just ignore/forget it. Cause I can't, that's way too easy

Thanks!

Hi, I am glad to help you. I am a guy with shoulder length hair myself and I too get comments from people about it including my parents which hurt. However, the best thing to do is to act like it does not bother you. I found some positive reinforcements in people that really did like my hair long and perferred it that way. When someone said something negative I found a way to shrug it off because everyone has their opinion and I knew those who liked it too. If you cannot find that reinforcement in your school or town you should be able to find it on here or another long hair site. There is plenty of support that should make you feel good about yourself. How long do you want your hair?

Thanks for the reply thart! I want it a bit longer. But not butt length xD
And yeah you're right, greatly appreciated.

Thanks Im glad it helped. How do you style your long hair?

I don't really actually. I usually just have it loose and flowing lol. But I do put it in a ponytail obviously (kinda have to at times), and have it behind my ears. And yeah that's about it =D 

That is awesome. There is nothing like the feel of long flowing hair. Do you ever get compliments on it?

You bet, my dad said he's proud of me for taking the time to grow it out so long and that I keep having it the same length due to what people think and say (I've had it this length for a year now). And yeah from most of my friends, the ones that don't just say interesting lol so they're nice about it at least.
My math teacher calls me a girl and makes fun of it, but he said he's just kidding and to take whatever he says in life with a grain of salt. XD

Awww thats sad he calls you a girl :( Do alot of girls seem to like the look? Alot of girls do :)

Hmm not sure  If so they sure haven't said anything xD a girlfriend would be nice too for once xD

It would definately be nice do you like girls with super long hair as well?

To be honest yeah, I only like girls with fairly long hair, doesn't have to be super long. Just short hair doesn't appeal to me, nothing against the girl though =D

I totally agree. Long hair is definately more appealing. Why did you decide to grow your hair in the first place?

Just felt that's how I should look, made me feel natural.You?

I tot know what you mean. I feel more myself with long hair. How long have you been in the process of growing?

Hmm I'd say 2 years, 3 max. My hair is long too. My hair grows really fast, family trait I think. I'm lucky haha. You?

Wow that is awesome. I am glad to hear you have been growing it that long. I have been growing mine for just over a year now and I absolutely love it. Did you ever think of doing it in femme styles?

Wow would that look like? I plan on just keeping it "pagan" style if you know what I mean, I have the dead ends cut but no styles.

Pagan style would be good. What exactly is that? When I say feminine styles I meant like updos and lots of braids or curls. Have you ever done those?

I guess Pagan style just meant either flowing and kept in a ponytail, my auntie braided it a couple times, not a huge fan of it. I guess by Pagan I just meant simple and untouched really.

Awww i love the thought of long flowing hair. It looks amazing and i definately think you will get compliments on it. Was your aunt excited about braiding it or what did she think?

Lol I guess she was, it was her idea after all xD

That is awesome. Did you like the look of it or not?

Meh it was alright, I didn't see anything too cool about it.

Thats still cool you got to experience it up im jealous

Can't you get someone to braid your hair for you?
