i sent my mom a picture of me in which i had my hair up in the kind of messy way, and now she is nagging at me to get a haircut. it is a bit weird since i have had long hair since i was little and i did not think it has seemed to bother her before? 

since i said i did well in my exams my parents will often say they are hoping i will find a working way with my teachers to start my summer vacation early so i could catch the end of wimbledon in person. on one hand that is kind of cool, but on the other i would need to do extra work to make up for it, and it might be very awkward because i would not be there to support german players at all...

also i have been playing mario tennis aces and it is a lot of fun! i especially like that i can win with breaking the racket of my opponent instead of scoring the better points. it would have been expensive in real tennis i suppose, but also pretty funny. it would have been a strategy i would be good at i think.

I recently told Hirakoba-san that he shouldn't cut his hair. I think if you're happy with growing it out or keeping it at its current length then you shouldn't listen to your mom. Perhaps she thinks putting it up like that makes you look too different and she doesn't like that, but plenty of men with longer hair have been putting it up into ponytails and "man buns" though I heard the latter can cause hair loss, so I don't recommend doing up dos tightly if you'd like to keep your hair.

i have had my hair this long for nearly all my life, with only a few times it was shorter. i think it has maybe only been shorter than yours is when i was very small? either way it is strange she has a problem with it now, and i am not going to cut it. if she has the issue with it, she is on the other continent so it is not like she has to see much.

...i do not think a man bun would look very good at me. i think those are for the people with the little bit of beard and big glasses, no? beards do not suit me, i am too blond for them so the hair on my face grows in too dark and the contrast is just weird. i will pass on the bun.

Maybe there is some underlying issue going on and your mom has decided to use it as reason to remark about your hair. That's a stupid reason, but is one nonetheless and if she hasn't had a problem until now, then I think something else is probably going on and she's taking it out on you which isn't fair at all, but good on you for sticking to your resolve. If not a man bun, then a messy bun? My sisters often do this to get hair out of their eyes while working on a project because sometimes the ponytail gets in the way, so if it's up in a bun, it can't. I don't think you need a beard, but you have a nice jaw structure and could probably pull it off, even if there is a difference of color, but you also look just fine as is, so if you don't wish to grow one out, then you don't have to.
