It is not uncommon for teenagers to want to experiment with their appearance. as teens try to figure out who they are, they may try different styles of clothing. another common way for teens to experiment with their look is with hair color. however, many school systems and parents insist that teens simply are not old enough to make such changes. is a little hair dye really that bad?
many schools now state in their policy that "unnatural hair colors," such as pink or blue, are not allowed. schools say that such hair colors can be a distraction. for instance, students may focus on someone's blue hair during class. on the other hand, is it not just as likely that someone will be so focused on someone who dyed his or her hair from black to blonde? this logic seems faulty at best, and schools should probably put more time into what their students are actually learning.
there are plenty of parents who do not want their teens dyeing their hair either. there are countless potential disagreements that may arise between parents and their teens. so, is something such as hair color really worth it? parents should put time into making sure their children do well in school, eat right, and exercise. it certainly seems preferable to deal with a teen having blue hair for a month than to deal with a teen who is not allowed to be himself or herself.
leave the question of to dye or not to dye up to teens. there will be plenty of other opportunities for schools and parents to tell these kids no.
