Okay, i want to cut my hair, im 14, male, and ive been living with a turbin my life. Its really bothering me. Ive talked to my dad about this, he said that it isnt my choice and i have to be 18 to make that choice. He brought me to a couple people trying to convince me. some include

Its a gift from good and if you cut it Or you shouldnt modify your body
Come on, thats like saying....
- teeth are a gift from good, you shouldnt go to the dentist its modifying it
- eyes are a gift from good you shouldnt get glasses
- medicine is a modification you shouldnt take it
- You shouldnt cut your nails its a modifing the body
- god did not give us houses, cars, etc we should live caves cause its a modification of nature.
- etc...

Some scientific reasons
Wow, scientific reasons...
i mean 95% of the population is not Sikh and dont have long hair and are living perfectly fine, they have enough nutrition, etc
it mite be a little difference, but nothing noticeable, and nothing that you cant live without


In my opinion i should be allowed to do what i want to, actually everyone should be allowed to do what they feel like to do as long as it does not offend anyone. I may be wrong, but in my opinion Sikhism is lacking freedom. Its saying everyone has to be like this. period.

If i wanted to paint my self blue. I should be allowed to. (i wouldnt)
If i wanted to stick a spear through my arm. I should be allowed to ( i wouldnt)
If i wanted to get a tatoo i should be allowed to
If i wanted to get some piercing i should be allowed to
If i wanted to cut my hair i should be allowed to.

You should have the freedom of expression without offending someone
(Right Of Canada, USA, India and almost all countries)
Someone plz tell me what to do.
