How to convince my dad to let me cut my hair?

Look what you should try to do is talk to him. Ask him to hear you out. Obviously in order to even have a chance to do this, you should : be obedient, do not make him angry, do chores, and ask him nicely and even use the little "daddy's girl " charm. Then once he does hear you out. Explain to him that you know he loves you but that you are a little old enough to do some things. Like maybe stary letting you hang with your friends or going out. Even if it means going to ur friends house for two hours only and gradually increase it. Also while doing this point out how it will help you become a responsible and better adult. Also dont ask for so much at all. Start little by little so he won't automatically say no and nor feel overwhelmed with all you are asking. If asking someone to back you up who is a good figure ( ex: your mom, grandma, older cousin, or a trusted adult) can help you. As your hair. Tell him you are a good girl, and that your back hurts and a little change in your appearan

Every family has different rules. But this is too...suffocating. You're not given any chance to be who you are. If this keeps going, you may never date or marry anybody. You are likely to explode in the end because of years of frustrations. Possibly get mentally sick, anger issues or a lot of social problems. Or all of the above. Your father is making mistakes and you will be paying for them. Your father doesn't see this of course...He wouldn't even think it's his fault or if this happened or not.

Your father is very controlling. He probably doesn't trust anyone but himself(may include your mother but not so sure). He's afraid of changes because he has certain expectations to certain things and if that's out of orders, he feels powerless. He wants to be in charge and feel powerful. His family is his own little kingdom. So far, he has been successfully punching everyone's hearts so they would listen to his orders.

He says "It's for your own good" and he believes that he IS doing this for you. But no, he's just trying to fool himself because accepting doing such horrible things is too painful. Your father is weak, can't see who he is, hurting himself more & he will keep going. In the end, he will lose everybody(you might abandon him even you don't think you will at this moment).

I believe everyone needs someone to talk to and yes, he can go see a therapist. He's damaging himself quite badly and time will only make things worse for him. You can also go as well because damage you've got needs to be patched up too.

Good luck and take care!

Go to your school councilor, she could talk to your dad on the phone, and/ or arrange a meeting with you, your dad, and the councilor all together

wow thats rude I would talk to another trusted adult or just abide by his rules for now until he says yes
