Should I get dreadlocks...
General Questions
I am 44 and have wanted Dreads since I was your age! Mine are 2 weeks old and i am thrilled! Now I see you have been thinking about this for a while...so if you do your not just jumping in.
Pro: do it for your self who cares what others think.
you will look great.
do it in the summer so they will look great by back to school
if you do not use WAX you can use tons of conditioner and brush them out if you no longer want them.
CONS: you go to a private "preppy" High School...as the victim of High School bully-ing I know that it can make your life miserable if your peers are mean about it. Do think about it...as much as I'd hate to let others make my decisions for me it can really be a determining factor. How are you treated now? Are your close friends supportive? Your BF? How do kids in your school treat anyone who is different? I guess what I am saying is do it if you want to...but be careful if it would make you a target for bully's.
