heey guys, i am a 17 year old girl from holland. most people accept me being a tomboy expect my sisters and mom. my mom says that girls are suppose to look pretty and look clean all the time and she doesn’t really accept me being a tomboy. same goes to my sisters they think it’s a phase and tell me that i will feel pretty if i ty girly things. they don’t listen to me at all! i love being a tomboy and don’t feel comfortable doing or wearing girly stuff. they think i want to be a boy but i don’t. they just don’t get that there are girls that like being girls but simply enjoy dressing/acting masculine. what should i do??
I know it sounds cliche, but just be yourself! If your family has a real problem try to sit down and have a civil discussion about why they want you to change, and tell them how it makes you feel. Then just keep living your life your way!
