What do I do? I'm gonna tag some mentors @Monsoon@Daisie@Blondie If I may ask a question, what makes u think they're homophobic? Some parents are more understanding if its their own children, but if its not safe then u might not wanna come out till ur living on ur own. What do u think they'd do to remove u from society?

I also cut my own hair about 2-3 weeks ago I think? Anyways, if ur not able to buy the boyish clothes or cut ur hair, try & have hope for the future & that their minds will ease up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aether_6 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 I would like to try to get some new clothes. My mom said if I cut my own hair she would seperate me from society and it would be 4 years for me to wait until I can do what I want... Thats a long time...

Don't give up. keep persisting. to be honest if you think its safe enough, i'd say come out to them. just straight up say it. whether they ignore you or not doesn't matter. it'll at least put reason in their minds behind your requests. I dont know your parents but i doubt they'd actually separate you from society. its probably just an empty threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
