'My daughter wants to change schools so she can dye her hair - but I shut it down'

Switching up your look and finding your own style is all part of being a teenager, and many of us will remember having rebellious phases where we tried out drastic haircuts and wore clothes that we thought set us apart from the crowd. But one dad is now discovering just how far his own teenage daughter is willing to go for that sense of individuality - as she's demanded to be allowed to change schools just because she wants to dye her hair.

The man said his 15-year-old daughter currently goes to a school that doesn't allow unnatural hair colours, and she's now decided she wants to switch to another nearby school that does, simply so she can dye her locks purple. However, the dad is concerned the other school has a "poor reputation", and doesn't want his daughter's education to suffer.
