My hair has been in a ponytail for 7 years and I want to be free to do whatever hair and even my friends want me to but its just that if I change it I'm afraid people at my school are going to keep asking "you changed your hair?" and things like that and people will talk behind my back saying "she changed her hair" and that will spread around and I really really really hate it when these things happen! I just think its very weird to all of a sudden change you hair that you never did in 7 years. If I change my hair it is going to totally humiliate me. All my friends want me to braid my hair tomorrow. I don't want to because I don't want how people may react! I'm very extremely scared to go to school tomorrow! I need as much help as possible. I'm very scared and uncomfortable of tomorrow!

They will probably breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Thank goodness, she finally changed her hair style!"

If you want to change it, change it. I don't think anyone will care. They will say it's cute and move on. You need to chill.

Its good to change ,if you don't ,expierment you will never know I bet people will like it ;)

Who cares what other people think. If you like a ponytail, keep it in a ponytail. If you want to braid it, braid it. If you want to cut it all off, dye it, put in a highlight, go for it. It's your hair. Will people notice? Probably. Will people care enough to comment? I doubt it.

Maybe if you make small steps as they say, one day come into school with your ponytail braided or curled, then maybe another day have it in pigtails or half up half down. Then maybe a bun. There are a whole buch of different hairstyles, even keeping it in a ponytail a cutting a few inches off is change. It's like a lot of other things, when you're ready the you're ready. If you're not then you're not.
It's that simple!
