I have 2 admit in the beginning I was so against locs, I was not a fan of them and preferred the clean cut look, but Jalen (a little boy) taught me (a grown woman) 2 learn 2 accept things that are outside of the norm, and I thank him for that lesson. I never seen a young boy with as much self confidence as him, and that is a wonderful thing, and I'm glad that you teach your children 2 be individuals.
To answer your question about getting locs at 15 would it be harder 2 deal with peer pressure? No, I think it's harder for younger people like Jalen who is being different from his peers, and when your still young and impressionable. It takes courage for a younger boy 2 go against what everyone else thinks is right, and not 2 be manipulated. When u r 15, you are older and is more aware of society views. It's still a struggle, but not as hard in my opionion.
