So basically I've had my dreads for almost two weeks, i'm getting used to them and trying to to obssess over how they look. But the thing is all my family and relatives are judging me and saying oh why do you have them whats the point, what are you achieving out of this.So the question is that is it just me thats being judged or did everyone else get judged by the people around them when they first got dreadlocks?

oh sorry didn't mean to put it in this section, I was jud so pissed off i forgot to put it in general questions. Ye thanks I guess i'll just ignore them, cuz they keep sayin my dreads dont look like dreads too and say it looks like a mess. So each time I look in the mirror I keep asking myself are they right? lol.

a white girl was saying to me that other day it only looks gd on black ppl, and i was like how ignorant are you? because i've seen white people with dreads and a lot of them look better than quite a few black ppls dreads. i especially like white people with the redheaded or blonde/brownish dreads, they look the best!!!

When people say anything about dreads, I can't come up with anything more than..."who cares what you think?" I don't even say that, I just roll my eyes and think about how stupid people are these days.
