people are teasing me about my hair like every 1 and people are walking up to me and messing it up
its p%$#ing me off and i need to know how to deal with it plz help i dont want to hurt some one

[Mr. Smithers]

I would tell them to probably stop. Hair like other body parts shouldn't be touched by other people, unless its by your permission.

If they are bullying you, I would talk to them and ask them why they do it. Explain to them that you work hard to make your hair look nice, and I really want you to stop messing up my hair.

As far as them teasing you, I would just ignore it. They are jealous because you're an individual and different.

You can always ask a school counselor or teacher if you still have problems with them teasing or picking on you.

Whatever you do, don't engage in a fight, or try to hurt them. That will only make your situation worse.

egh... just tell 'em that not all emos cut themselves!! if they touch you're hair again, give 'em a sock!! not literally...
just ignore them. you're you -they want to be you. best way: ignore them or tell 'em to fuck off.

Just tell them to back off, but this will prob incourage them as they want you to start and youto retaliate, so your best off ignoring it, you dont have to put up with it so if you ignore it and dont show them its bothering you, they'll get boredd of it, if they carry on tell a teacher or someone you trust about it. x

You'll get used to it. Happens to me all the time

[Baudelaire]

tell them that you arent because you dont cut, or just ignore them, its just a hair statement. I'm sure you have very nice hair anyway.

[KChiChi]

i think u have nice hair and it's not like your hairdo's making their life hell or anything. sock 'em!!
kidding. ignoring them is the best solution.

[INFERNO]

If you retaliate, then unless you do something drastic such as beat the living snot out of them, they'll keep having a go at your hair. Either ignore it or change your hair style. The idea of you cutting yourself likely stems from the way you dress and how your hair is done as it may be the stereotypical look of how people conceive people who are depressed and cut themselves to be (i.e. "emo"). So, 3 options: change your hair style/appearance/behavior, get into such a large fight you get suspended/expelled/arrested or ignore it. It'd be best to go with the last option.

Also, calling yourself "emo" simply feeds into the stereotypical view that you are depressed and cut yourself, so if you label yourself as such, then I'm willing to be you act somewhat like that. So, it's not likely to be only your hair that's causing this although the hair is what is touched. If you change the hair but still act in the "emo" stereotypical manner, you'll come across as such. Depending on how much you change your hair style, you may seem out of sync with the stereotypical look and that to some degree bothers people (i.e. being called a poser).

Moral of the story: it's more to it than merely hair.

[AllThatIsLeft]

Don't let them influence you in any way.
To deal with it you just have to realize they are just words, and because they say them. It doesn't make it true.

They are invading your personal space, so next time tell them to back off, in a controlled but serious tone.
then just ignore them, or walk away.

Do not scream at them you're not emo, and do not engage in fight.
You don't have anything to prove, they are nothing to you or your life.
so don't worry.

like i dont know aht to do i cant ignore them because they phisicly tuch me (mes my hair punch me ) i need to know how to stop that >:(

[AllThatIsLeft]

Then you might want to tell someone with authority, they are invading your personal space and that is not okay. If telling doesn't do anything, get your parents to call the school and talk about it with the councilor or principal.

Don't just let it happen.

[KChiChi]

don't let 'em mess wit ur hair...

[Baudelaire]

tell them that theyre violating your space, and its disgusting.

[2D]

1. Punch in face.

2. Ignore until they get bored.

3. IMPROVISE

[Asylum]

like it was stated above tell an adult or authority

Have you brought this issue to any teachers because if you do ignore them, as suggested by others and myself, this doesn't mean to stand there and let them do whatever to you. If they're punching you and not in a playful way, such as a little slap on the shoulder when greeting one another but rather in a way intended to hurt you, then ignoring them is not the option because purposely becoming a punching bag does you no good. Either tell a teacher and if bruises or cuts are left from their punching, then show them as evidence or change your appearance/behavior so as to not allow them to begin punching you, such as by telling them to quit it.

If their attacks are fueled because you look and act "emo", then does it not make sense to make it more obvious you're not "emo"?

[Magus]

What I heard is. Emo is actually a trend and a fashion style and has nothing to do with personality. Think of Goths and Skin Head. These are sub-culture and rarily has anything they do with their own personality.

I am a Cyber-Punk; I have my gel, my hair spray, my blow dryer and my straightener and do what ever I want with my hair. That's a fashion and not a something to deal with a person themselves.

[Englishrose]

Okay, first off stereotypes are completely wrong. No two people are alike never mind a whole group of people so don't stereotype yourself or others.
Also its a minor case of annoyance at most just tell them where to go and if they don't maybe try a bit of retaliation, mess their hair up when you see them. In essence turn the tables.

[KBS-Man]

Thanks People But i Like to bo emo that how i am it has lacked off lately but ill se thanks peeps u been a help :)

[Scarface]

you should be the person that you want to be and don't let anyone try to make you into someone that you aren't as for these bullies retaliation in a physical manner will only get you into trouble. give them a verbal ultimatum because all emo's do not cut no a phase its something you choose to be. i hope this helps pm me if you want to talk
