I can't understand my sister!
ARGH!!! My sister DYED her hair reddish brown today!!! AND SHE'S ONLY SEC 2! She's still schooling!!! I still can't believe it. When I came home today, I found that she had cut her hair (her previous hairstyle was short hair, quite ordinary but still pleasant looking), and her new hairstyle turns out to be very much thinned hair (above-shoulders), with SPIKES AND VERY SHORT HAIR poking out on TOP of her head like some rambutan! It's totally horrid!
I really can't understand her. Even though it's not my hair, my heart aches at how she destroyed her hair. Before, she looked decent. Now she just looks like some punk-wannabe or ah-lian-wannabe! But why, WHY? Why must she try to look "cool" and try so hard to fit in with the 'in' crowd? Why must she care so much about brandnames? Why does she care so much about trends, be it in fashion or in hairstyles? Why is she ashamed of the black hair that she's born with, that all of us Asians are born with?
Why does she mistrust Mom and I so much, thinking that we're always against her opinions /decisions simply for the sake of disagreeing with her, to the extent that she has to lie that she's going to the library, but went to dye her hair instead; lie that she only wanted "treatment" for her "dry hair", but the hairdresser dyed her hair without her consent; lie that she was going to the sauna downstairs, but used the time to further highlight her hair???
What's wrong with dry hair? Nobody touches your hair to feel if it's dry or not.
What's wrong with black hair? Asians are meant to have black hair, it's natural, it's actually nice. It's OUR ROOTS! It's part of ourselves, what we were born with. Why must we be ashamed of ourselves, the way we are naturally???
What's wrong with JUST ONE EARHOLE on each side?? More metallic stuff / more holes punched through one's body doesn't make one any more attractive / "cooler"!
What's wrong with good-quality / decent stuff that's not of any famous 'brands'? Aren't they of just as good, if not better quality? Aren't they just as nice?
And so what if you have branded goods, that doesn't make you stand out from the rest, nor does it make you any more popular with people!
What's wrong with looking decent/ nicely presentable? Getting short tufts of hair poking out the top of your head, and streaks of red all over your hair, does NOT, in any way, make you look any more attractive. Conversely, it only makes one less attractive / pretty, not to mention less classy!
Why does she care so much about all these things? Is she so insecure, so unconfident?
Why does she always think that Mom and I are against her decisions solely for the sake of not allowing her to do what she wants? Why does she think that we don't care for her at all?
Am I such a failure as an elder sister?
When can she stop being such a disappointment to Mom, and come to her senses and be more mentally mature and self-assured?
What should I do?
