It's so interesting to me how attitudes about these things change. In middle/high school, I was the only kid dyeing my hair crazy colors and it was a form of rebellion. My parents flipped out over it, my friends' parents hated me because I was a "bad influence", all the popular kids in school made fun of me. Curious how kids rebel nowadays.

Confused. . .


The Catholic school where I teach has kids and teachers with dyed hair. Why wouldn't they allow it?


Because Jesus, duh. And...maybe Mary...I guess...

( hint- Catholics can be repressive)

Because most lgbtq teens tend to be in the artsy/goth/alternative crowd, hence they are more likely to have funky hair colors. As to why this is common among young trans kids, I don't know and I find it baffling.


What I find baffling is your post.

Your first point: LGBTQ kids are artsy so like hair dye.

Your second point: I dont know why trans kids like hair dye.

Um...you do know what the T in LGBTQ stands for...right?

It's just hair. WTF is the big deal? I think it's weird you can't handle anyone different than you.

What are they going to do when they meet a person of a different religion or background?

Lol, I’ve been wondering why I see so many straight married 60-something ladies with purple, pink, or blue hair

And to show the world they are one of a kind, unique individuals.... who look exactly like all the other kids like them


This.

It's the kid version of a neck tatoo.

I’m a MS teacher. Lots of hair dye across all sexual and gender identities.

My DD is a lesbian and doesn’t dye.

Why not? My child wanted purple hair at 4, and I said sure. What's your problem?

Why do so many grown men dye their hair purple, green, blue, yellow and bright red? They look stupid but that's the NFL I suppose. No harm in it. Form of expression.

Really? How many non-trans kids do you know aged under 10 with non-natural hair color? How many six year olds?


Quite a few, actually. At DC's grade 3-5 school, there are many.


Get with the times, grandma. I bet you only wear shades of pink or red for nail polish.

I can think of 4 kids under 8 off hand that I know with either a color streak or colored tips. All of them are great run-of-the-mill kids, none has stated a sexual orientation. I can also think of at least 5 adults I know with unnatural color streaks (soccer moms and professionals.)

Straight kids too silly! And they think it's fun. The time to do that is when they are young
