Help cheering up my little brother?

Question

Hi. My brother and i (we're both guys) have always wanted to grow our hair out since we were transferred to a public school (yay!) and now it's almost first day. We had the same length and different hair qualities (I have thick hair and he has fine straight hair) Today (just right now) i had a hair stylist cut my hair a little and style it to be more straight so that it would be easier to fix my hair. I got that cool japanese pop star kinda hair. Then my mom and grandma force my bro to get a hair cut too. He was crying and junk at first. But I helped my mom by telling him i'd be watching if it were getting too short. The stylist cut his bangs to short and he looks like some short haired guy. He's screaming right now that he looks "ugly". I feel bad somehow cause I'm the reason he wants long hair. I am his role model. I'm scared that he might be anti-social and junk like before. He's 8 so i feel bad that i made him so worried about his appearance. When i was his age.. I had a semi bald hairstyle and i had a fun time. I'm scared that i'm ruining his childhood. Help me... how can i cheer him up? :(

Answer 1

Get your hair cut like his .. be geeks together.  That is what a big brother would do.

Answer 2

just make sure you let him know that looks and style are not everything,  and that hair will grow back. I am sure it will not ruin his childhood.  stuff happens and kids get upset and then it blows over and in a few years you will both be laughing about how it seemed like such a big deal at the time.

Answer 3

tell him that he his will grow back, and try and distract him somehow. Maybe do something fun with him. Or make sure he has some good back to school clothes. Convince your mom since she made him miserable with the haircut she should feel guilty and take him to get new clothes
