I've had my dreads for nearly 2 months,my mum and dad still come up with stupid names for me like 'skinny mrs.marley','ropey head' or even 'medusa'..at first it really put me off,i used to cry for long hours,because i wanted them to love what I loved.now that it's been a while they kind of got used to my hair and dad was even like 'it suits you well'..if you accept being critisized and laugh along with them,at the end they'd give up and maybe look at you and hae a different reaction...never ever ever let it effect you,this is your and not somebody else's hair. If they ask you what's the point,you ought to have one....i would spend whole hours telling them all the points of having dreads.:)
Good luck,bredren..
hope i've been helpful.
take care :D
