Sorry but this is annoying me a whole lot. I'm 16 and people at school are always telling me I should look more girly because I'm a tomboy and I always have been since I was a little kid. I'm sick of hearing about 'how nice I'd look with blond hair' or 'why I should wear makeup' or 'why don't you put any effort into looking nice'.
I thought maybe because I'm 16 I should have grown out of this by now and maybe it's unusual, is it? Because all of the other girls my age at school look and dress like Barbies. I've been told for years that I'll 'grow out of it soon' and people think I'm suddenly going to want to look 'hot' for guys, which is the last thing on my mind.
But I really don't want to change myself, but I don't know how to get people to stop making stupid comments about how I look because it's really annoying and I hear it all the time. It's like everyone's trying to change me and they think I'm just being stupid when I refuse an offer to have a makeover. I just want to be myself.
