Title: What is too young?
Post by: mark_18 on January 09, 2010, 06:59:34 AM
Hi guys,  I just passed my three month sly date and still love it.  My kid brother,  Who is 16,  And said I was crazy when I took my hair off and laughed at me now want his head shaved also.  There is no rule against it at his school and I will gladly help him do it.  The problem is our parents,  They say he is too young to shave his head.  They also said I was too young at 18 but they are ok with it now-kinda.  Any opinions on what is too young to go sly?

I have a 6 year old grandson who I keep bugging to let me shave his head. He doesn't seem interested currently but, if I'm diligent, maybe when he's 7. >:D

Standard rule: minors living at home with Mom and Dad follow Mom and Dad's rules. When he turns 18 or moves out, he gets to make his own decisions.

If a bald head is all the parents have to complain about with this kid, I'd count them as mighty darn lucky.
 Let him go for it,  the others kids at school will let him know if it was the right thing to do.
Having children is like being grounded for 22 years.

Welcome aboard Mark...

Yeah... as hard as it is for him, I think he needs to respect mom and dad's wishes.  O0

Like the others have said, he should respect your parents.  Though, you could always have a private word with your parents to help his case.

I agree; he needs to obey your parents, but perhaps you could have a word with them on his behalf.  It's only a haircut and it's fully reversible; it isn't something he'll be forced to live with for the rest of his life.  Personally, I think a 16-year-old is old enough to make a decision like this.  If he's got the guts to show up at school with a bald head and take whatever ribbing that comes his way, I'd let him do it.
