I have no idea what they do in America. Or what anyone does besides me. My son was in a boy's choir when he was a kid, so he had to have his hair short and neat.

So basically you want to get your parents to admit that your body is yours, not theirs. And admit that it is wrong to interfere with other peoples’ bodies.
