Since I was little, I always liked to have short hair. When my hair got too long, I would even cut it myself sometimes. Very badly, of course. But even up until now, my hair has never grown past my shoulders. I always just got it cut somewhat shorter. However, in sophomore year, I decided to have my hair cut in an "emo" style. I always thought this style was creative, and I wanted it for myself. I asked for a "razor cut," brought a picture, and got a new hairdo. All my friends liked it, but more than that, I was especially pleased with it. I've had it cut the same way ever since, with some small differences. It's probably one of the things I actually like about myself.
If Freud looked at my hair, he would think I was copying a boy. He would declare that I am one of the girls that are envious of males, so they try to act like them. It's not so much that I'm copying a boy as much as the fact that my hair stays short and kept nice, unlike before. It wasn't until recently that boys started to grow their hair longer with sharp bangs. I've always wanted my hair mid-length, not too short, but not past my shoulders either. My hair is the main reason I get mistaken for a boy, though. Half of all strangers, people who do not know me, assume I'm a boy. It actually amuses me, so I don't mind so much. Again, it is the hairstyles that boys wear today that are similar to mine, not the other way around.
