this seems to be a talent a lot of us, even moi 
lastnight i gave into my mum and cousins who wanted to brush my curls and make them into a long guth, now im suffering the consequences of fluffy hair
ive tried becoming a bit more dheet lekin that just backfires and im affraid a fam member is gonna pressure me into bigger things 
sadzz the best way is to sit down and talk to them.Take charge.Dont be scared, if you explain your side enough times- they do actually understand.
ive tried my best.. ive told them i dont like my curls brushed lekin it doesnt work :(
i dont think they pressure me.. its all in my head
I think maybe you just need to make it clear that you will do things your way. Try it , see how it goes.
^ yes.... i think im gonna have to spit the dummy in a few days..
dont worry, no ones gona pressure you in bigger things :p
be strong..
As long as you make your parents/relatives/friends understand what you like/dislike or whatever the issue might be.. the rest should follow smoothly. The 'stuff' in the back of our mind overrules us at times... and to fight it we just have to bring ourselves out of it. Don't be a weak link :)
in our culture is so good when some one cares (specailly family members , cousins care about you and stuff)
but
when they try to impose their likes and dislikes on you it starts to geting messy,
if it was for fun ignore it
but if it was to show you that they can force you into any thing you have every right to fight back.
^^ exactly!
U kno sadz.. sumtimes i hav the same prob.. i just couldnt say 'NO' ... then ofcourse i havto suffer the consequences(?) ... liken Allah ka shukar hay .. i never had too much trouble with anything... at that time it hits with the force... but gets better later... :-)
