A Girl Who looks like a Boy, This Is Sad... Options

[Myokko]

This is so sad.... Im a girl, yet, some people say I look like a boy....Because of my haircut...which is short.....And with my glasses on, I look more of a boy... And just recently , my mom called me her son... That made me feel kind of bad cuz Im a girl.

I just want to know....Has anyone ever felt the same way that I have felt? Or been in a similar situation? If so, please tell me about it. I would like to connect with someone who knows how I feel.

[Myokko]

No...I've never experienced that..

Don't feel bad  I'm guessing, wait for your hair to grow longer, and just dress extremely girly..

Wait...but then you're changing the way you are...nvm...

When someone says you're a boy, tell them, "I'M A FREAKEN GIRL!! (or whatever it is you want to say)".

Once your hair grow, I don't think anyone will mistake you for a boy.  Is your hair layered, or like, extreme hair cut that looks like a boy hair cut?

*Bleh* Sorry I couldn't help much, just try to ignore everyone's rude comments, and remind them you're a FEMALE not a MALE!

*sigh* thanx...and yes, my hair IS layered...

[shortiiex]

i saw aa boy who looks,sounds,dresses like a girl..which that is really sad too
you can wear make-up...and make sure your eyelashes look long, and wear more jewlery

[iheartjohn]

You can be girly and have short hair. Look at Mariska Hargitay. And try to get a more girly style for glasses. Like a light shade of pink.

And if all else fails, start stuffing your bra.

[*disco infiltrator*]

I have short hair and glasses and people don't think I'm a guy!



See? :D Just..be..like a girl. I dunno..

[coconutter]

Aw, that's okay. Don't change a bit. Tell your mom not to call you that again if it bothers you

[maia_dc]

Change your style to flatter your more feminine side. Halters, shortshorts, tight jeans, tighter shirts, etc. Growing your hair out and wearing lipgloss and some makeup should help too.

And I'm sure that once you get older and your body fills out, there will be no more misconceptions.

[Saeglopur]

Yeah um... I haven't had that happen... but it's okay. :pat: Wear a skirt.

[hiromi]

I'd rather look more like a guy... but I'm a strange child, so that doesn't matter.

Try to wear something girly, wear jewelery, etc.

[yupimchuck]

i have short hair too.
and ive had people tell me that id look like a boy if i cut my hair off.

i think i look like a boy but i dunno about other people.
i sure act like one :/

see.

[Rogue_Ewok]

a few years ago my hair was cut way too short... and I looked just like a noy. Waiters at restaurants would say, "Sor, what would you like?" and it was so horrible... i cried and cried... the best thing you can do is wear makeup and dress in really girly clothes. thats what I did.

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

Aw-just try wearing more feminine things. Wear makeup. Stuff your bra.
Don't get bummed. My mom's always calling me Alan instead og Alana. It's just 'cause she has a lot on her mind. I'm sure your mom didn't mean it.

yeah and keira knightley too, plus she's really flat so she doesn't have feminine curves but she still looks like a lady.

i have short hair too.
and ive had people tell me that id look like a boy if i cut my hair off.

i think i look like a boy but i dunno about other people.
i sure act like one :/

see.

i don't think so, the make up, the hairstyle and the eyebrows give it all away

[iheartjohn]

You know, try wearing mascara and black eyeliner. It'll add femininity.

[Nicolatofu]

People like natalie portman and demi moore were like BALD but they still look feminine. Try adding a little makeup to your daily routine.

[jeSs1cA]

Something similar happened to me.. when I was in 4th grade, I had extremely short hair. I nessicarily didn't look like a boy.. but I once went bike riding with my mom. I wore a helmet back then.. and you couldn't see any of my hair under the helmet. Well, this lady was walking her dog and she had a little boy on a bicycle w/ training wheels riding right next to her.. and she was like to the little boy, "Oh, look at that boy! You'll be able to ride your bike just like him someday!" I never corrected her, but it made me feel pretty shitty

Anyways, maybe you can wear more jewelry and dress in like skirts so people will know that your a girl. Also, you can try makeup.

[sunissed14127]

I've never had that happen, but I guess if ya wanna look more like a girl, You could dress girly, wear makup, & let your hair grow out.

[misskentucky]

Well I don't think I really look like a guy but to my guy friend's I'm one of the guys. I have mostly guy friends. Try dressing like a girl, growing your hair out. Wear a little makeup. If you feel uncomfortable doing that, just stay the way you are. Who cares what you look like?

[demolished]

a skirt,
spaghetti strap clothes
long glove (up to your elbow)
a thick frabic (to wrap around your arms)
face makeup
make your hair like Yuna part 2 (final fantasy)

The whole thing would look more of a "girl-ish" and anime-ish.

i think real life anime-ish people are awesome !

[blogdeleted]

yeah.
wear skirts and dresses...
show ur bra straps in a fashionable way...ull look good and ppl will c that u'r not a boy...
act girly...lol

[Olive]

are you a hot looking boy? no offence..
some girls can look like hot guys yet still recognised as a girl.
I'm sorry if that dosn't make sense, but I used to look like a guy at one stage where I got annoyed and grabbed a pair of scissors and ... whoops. whole chunk of my fringe and side gone. then i tried to fix it up.. and whoops. But it was fun in the mornings, short hair is fixable. You can always spike yourself two pairs of ears or 'horns' someone called mine.. or just wear a hat.

[Olive]

whoop[s sorry..double post

my mom called me her son...      

hehe gotta admit thats pretty funny tho

[demolished]

^
whaat ? you left her nothing with a quote.

Nice story.

[redpeony]

I remember the year I went into grade 5, I think it was, I was the biggest tomboy ever and wore baseball caps with short hair. I was there on the first day of school with two of my much girlier friends and a teacher came up to us and said something along the lines of, "Look, it's three girls! No... two girls and a boy! No... three girls!... No...."

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

I look like a hot guy...I don't wanna be conceited, but I think I like looking like a guy than a girl. I'd totally bang myself if I were a guy. >__< I know, I'm weird, but yes, I look like a guy w/ large hoop silver earrings! My mom wants me to change my style because of the appearance I give off. Btw, my hair is pretty short, the front is wispy at the end of my face, but the back is shaved, it's about an inch long?

Don't worry, we can look like hot boys together. =P

[toodlepops.]

Wow, I feel sorry.
But think about it, your hair will grow longer, and as you grow older, more feminine you will become.

[piney]

well put a bit of eyemakeup up, some lipgloss, and wear a skirt once in a while.
i think short haircuts r cute on girls.

[blogdeleted]

well...being a girl who looks like a boy isn't that sad...just imagine one that's the other way around...

[Boyfriendless]

Iv had people call me a tomboy, manly girl, all that stuff, never a boy, but yeah. I grew my hair our so it's not as bad.

[TheReasonWhy]

no. but in my school (i am in a all girls school) this situation is quite poular

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

Your mom called you her son? Whoa..that was wrong.

Anyways, what I can tell you how to look feminime(?) with what everyone else is saying, yeah, you should wear some girly clothes, pretty earrings, necklaces, rings, and maybe even make-up That's all I can come up with.

[*reflection*]

wear skirts or pink

[dahoonpride]

dang....i'd freaking hate it if my mom called me a girl accidently. i guess growing hair's the best way

[PreludeTears]

..... NO..... I HAVE BOOBIES and HIPS! so you can pretty much tell Im a female throughout my teens years. when I was younger I wore all those baby blue pink clothes so I dont think anyone confused me for a guy wearing pink

[ParanoidAndroid]

Aww, no I never felt that way. But I've always been tomboyish.

You don't have to connect with someone who knows how you feel. You can find comfort in people who might have somewhat similar and yet different experiences. If you want to look more like a girl, you can grow your hair if you want or wear contacts. But if you think that's not who you are, you don't have to dress like a girly girl. Be what you are. You don't have to listen to other people who verbally punish you for that

[seriouslynikki]

Wow, your mom is pretty mean to say that to you. And yes, that has happened to me, but my mom hasn't said that to me...ever. People say i act like a total guy and even look like a guy. But i don't really care what they say.

[rx_azngirl]

nope i haven't

[*suddenly she*]

it's okay, i've got a short haircut too.

my guyfriend and i took a picture on his phone of me and him hugging, and his dad asked him who "that guy" was.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

There are a lot of people who look like boys that are girls at my school, but its because they dress that way. And sometimes they seriously look like girls and you cannot tell unless they like .. told you they owned a vagina or something.

But dont feel bad. Your hair will grow out and get pretty long and nice. And if you have a boyish figure, youll develop out soon enough :D

[blogdeleted]

my mom has pretty short hair...and some ppl confused her for a man...

[mouse_3k]

I dont look like a boy but many say i act like one so they recommend me as one but I dont care. id rather be forreal and true then some stuck up preppy girly girl. Id rather play football then go out for a manicure. I think of it as a comment

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

Next time someone thinks you're a boy, stick out your chest a little. That's what my sister's friend does since she's a tomboy and people mistakes her for a boy.

[malimars]

My little sister use to be called a little boy and simular to your situation was called a boy or my older sister use to call her their little brother Anyways,I started doing her hair up in bobby pins or just little things that would make her look like a girl and also doing her makeup look on websites for hairstyles you can do with short hair.etc...Hope that helped a bit!

[Paradox of Life]

my mom called me her son...       That made me feel kind of bad cuz Im a girl.

Lmao.

Grow your hair out, get contacts and dress girlier.

And yes, I've been in that situation, but only when I was an infant, lol.

[Julie Ann]

Nope. Don't feel bad though. Just get contacts and wear more girly stuff, it might help.

[islandkiss]

I know a lot of girls with super short hair. they're highly confident

[MyCATSwatchingtv]

And if all else fails, start stuffing your bra

[jEllyBeaNs]

When i was younger i use to be the biggest tomboy ever! i wore basketball shorts and shorts under them soo i could sag. then i would wear a pony tail and a big T. eveyone would call be a boy or gat! but it doesn't bother me, cuz now im more femine. lol but in middle school i just let ppl talk, cuz i knew wut i was, and i just didn't care wut they thought!

[o0olaalaa]

if you know you're a girl, thats all that matters. but, if you want more than that just wear a dress, makeup, earings.. all that good stuff

[much2muse]
