To let me get a mohawk!

My two best friends and I were going to get mohawks sort of as a joke, but to actually celebrate the beginning of this season. It wasnt gonna be a big gnarly plake mohawk, and it wasnt gonna be all bald on the sides of my head or anyhting. just buzzed on the sides, longer in the middle.

My parents think it will give me a bad image or something, and that people will think i look like a skinhead or im trying to be tough. I told them that was stupid, but it obviously didnt work that easily. They also think its gonna make my boss mad. btw im 16.

What should i do to convince them that its just hair and its no big deal?

Sparknotes: I want to get a mohawk with some of my friends, but my parents think i will look like a punk or something.

+K for legit ideas!

Get it and dye it pink, and then when your parents ask, just say, "Well, at least I'm not black."

the amount you will be judged by other people will go up quite a bit. Expect lots of bad looks and possible discrimination

It seems like you never have anything constructive to add.

Either just get it or conform to their rules, your choice.

My Mom is the same way. I shave my head really close because that's just how I like my hair to be, and she called me a skinhead! I mean shit, I look a bit more intimidating but I'm not Edward Norton in American History X.

start acting like a total douschebag with your current hair, then rock the mohawk in like a fortnight and revert back to your usual (no doubt lovely) persona with the new hair....sorted!
