Thankfully I was already out of my parents' house by the time I
started doing henna, but you should have heard my dad when I stopped
eating meat. "We can afford to eat meat! You're not some poor child
from a third-world country!" Sad how ignorant parents can be.
Sometimes, even being their child, you have to be the more mature
one! I just kept doing what I needed to do, and seven years later,
I'm still a vegetarian... I hope your parents come around. Try to
look at the long run - you won't be under their roof forever. Be
strong.

: I'm sure most people here have had this problem... so what did you
: do? What do you do when your parents are unsupportive of something
: you like or want to do?
