In the past month I have changed and for me with that change comes a change in looks. Since I moved out I did stuff that mom didn't want me to do in the house. I pierced my nose and tongue --those thins she doesnt like but since I have moved back home she cant say anything since I didn't do it in her house. I got blone short spikey hair now too. My point is not to rebel against mom that had nothing to do with it. I went thru a change and to me changing things on the outside to reflect my change was something I had to do. my motto Out with the old and in with the new.
Has anyone done the same or similiar? should we be judged on how we look or how we'e changed?

At some point in life every needs to do things to try and find themselves and discover who they are on their own! it is completely normal I went through the tattoo piercing phase too but the tattoos are permanent But i like all of them

Princess, we could all find a reason to be judgemental if we wanted to ---no matter who we are looking at. I do not think a person should be jusdged based strickly on one thing or another....however, realistically it does occur on a daily basis....that does not mean that you need to conform to their way of thinking....it just means that you need to be strong enough not to allow their narrow minds to define who you are! Since I am probably your mmother's age or older, I do understand her concerns as well. I have responded to several of your discussions tonight..so feel like I am beginning to know you alittle....I have always taught my kids that the "only person who can determine what you are worthy of in this life is YOU"...so I give you the same advice....be yourself and do not change that person for anyone. Being yourself means knowing yourself and what your goals in life are and what you want to accomplish with your time here....none of us live forever so spend your time wisely...you will benefit from it. Good luck.

We should be judged on how we have changed but sometimes our looks get in the way.
Some people cannot get past the piercing and the blonde spikey hair to get to know the true person inside.
Good luck with your change.
How is your realtionship with your mom now that you are back home? I hope you two are good.
When my son first moved out at the age of 18 we were not getting along. I was not real strict. It seemed he was mad at the world. He moved out for a year and came home.
When he came home he was so much better. He understood about money and was so much more responsible.
Good luck to you
