Dreads are a Choice I Made
I hate the fact that I can't walk through the hallways at school without being whispered about or stared at or I even get fingers pointed.
C'mon, we are how old?
I made the choice to have dreads because I am tired of being like everyone else. Everyone are clones of one another. I feel as though my dreads represent myself as being carefree and worry-free, but it's hard to feel that way when you are being talked about for being different...
I know I shouldn't worry about what people have to say about me, but they are so rude. They ask questions like:
You don't wash your hair?
Won't you smell bad?
Do you shower?
All I see is complete ignorance, and honestly if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything at all because we are all human, and feelings still get hurt no matter the beliefs.
People are cruel, but on the plus side, I love my dreads as far as they have come and I wouldn't change my decision given the chance<3

Karabeth:)
Loving the support and feedback, thanks so much to all of you!
Rock on with your dready natty self, Kara! You will have ten times the flexibility to style your hair than they ever will. And you know what, let 'em sniff your hair if they're that concerned with your hygiene. As long as you are taking care of your hair then you've got nothing to worry about.
You are loved, Kara. *HUG*
To up the beauteousness of your natty hair, you can get a small spray bottle put about a half a cup of water in it + a few drops of your favorite scent or essential oil. Lightly spritz in your hair when you need the aromatherapy or feel a bit paranoid. Clean dreads don't have a smell but it's better to be safe than sorry if you're surrounded by neurotic people.
taras right but in hs cruelty is a way of coping with their own insecurities so in hs the rules are a lil diferent the way ppl relates not normal

in]gnore what they say you know its not true
dreads give u strength
use it
I know it sounds offensive, but some people who ask those questions aren't being cruel, just curious. You never learn unless you ask, so some people ask. Obviously it's ignorance, but people are ignorant about things. Just ignore it, if they're all clones of each other then they're not worth feeling upset about, you have your own path in life and you're living it.
why let it upset u thatthey are ignorant yiu know that they are clean dont smell and your not afraid to be diferent so be proud and laugh at them for their stupidity
