I'm Just A Girl With Short Hair (headshave), Not A Boy!

After Brooke's 7th grade year, just toward the end of middle school, her friend Rachel was diagnosed with cancer. All of her friends were really supportive and they did everything they could to lift her spirits and to raise awareness on social media, and gather donations to help her family pay for treatment, which of course involved chemotherapy and lots of counselling.
One of the side effects of chemo is that the patient loses most or all of their hair, and it becomes harder to grow back while being treated. So, to help make Rachel feel better and not so alone in what she was gong through, Brooke and her parents decided to shave their heads in solidarity - get the clippers - full headshave. Rachel appreciated the gesture so much, and it meant so much to her that Brooke was willing to walk around with a shaved head, much less, short hair, that Brooked decided to keep her hair short, to be that girl with short hair for a little while longer. In fact, she made a commitment to keep her very short hair for the duration of Rachel's cancer treatment, so she wouldn't be the only with super short hair, and, wouldn't be the only one who was constantly being mistaken for a boy.
After a while Brooke decided that she actually really liked having a shaved head, and so she kept it that way, even after Rachel's cancer treatments were finished. She liked the way it looked, even shorter than a pixie cut, well, the true story is, it was pretty much a shaved head.
The only real problem for her was that everyone thought she was a boy, even after she would tell them I'm not a boy!, still, they would look at her like maybe she was lying. And it was kind of weird because other than having short hair, she looks very much like a girl. She has female features, curves, you know, curves.
One time, she was at the YMCA, in the locker room changing to work out in the gym, and she had her shirt off but her sports bra on. This old lady came up to her and said "you know this is the girls' locker room." And Brooke had to tell her, "yes, I know that. I'm a female. I'm a girl with short hair, not a boy." The old lady still looked totally confused but just shrugged it off and wandered away. But this happened all the time. Every time she would go to the bathroom at a store someone would try to stop her, and people call her sir, and young man.
She thinks it's pretty funny that people assume gender just because of her short haircut, okay, shaved head, but like she explained, she'd very, well girly looking otherwise.
Now Brooke is a senior in high school, and she still keeps her hair pretty short - she shaves it every once in awhile - and people still mistake her for a boy, but it doesn't bother her anymore. It gives her a lot of good stories to tell.
Her friend Rachel is totally cancer free, but she also keeps her hair short - girl headshave, woman headshave, whatever - she just likes it that way too.

Girl: *Wears bra, have female curves and a female face*
Lady: Hello young man
Female face ? with makeup you mean.
No duh I a female but I have short hair and everybody calls me boy
honestly if some sees the curves from behind do they think she a curvy boi?
Lakendrick Clancy logic people!
solid disciple girls usually have a different face shape than men
no one gonna talk about her friend being cancer free?
ikr? I was so glad she was alright.
Yay!
I’m glad she’s ok
That7mad Mapping yay!!! I was so happy at dat bit
i love the girl getting treatment and staying alive that doesnt happen often
Why having a shave head is awesome :
-Saves water
-Doesn't take long to get dry
-doesn't need to brush cuz it wouldn't get tangled
-doesn't struggle
I know I am a girl and i have a shaved head as well
And you are less sweaty in the summer! XD
your profile says it all
If u have curly hair it’s harder
@@lenoralol9962 ik i used to have curly hair now its straight
The fact that she kept her hair short just to make her friend feel happy just shows how good a friend she is
Yes
It’s nice that she thinks it’s funny and not get pissed
Yeah, i would totally get pissed

I am a boy and I used to have long hair and everyone thought I was a girl, so I shaved most of it off and I got confused and even the teacher thought I was new and I got so mad with everyone thinking I was new and people saying ‘What’s you’re name’.
What is your are name
Wow... they look so confused
Wow one time I was at my great aunties house one of my aunties friends mistaken me as a boy because my mom braided my hair from the back so my mom said that he couldn't see very well.
So you repeat yourself to everyone about your name when you knew they already know you or didn’t recognize you

_A girl can rock short hair like a guy can rock long hair_
Yes, yes they can
Yep
Got that right
Ues
Preach it
I’m a guy with long hair and when I was young I used to get lots on looks when going to the bathroom and stuff😂
I see through your pfp
I can tell
Nice hair bro
Keep your hair. The was a male worker at a NIKE outlet in a mall that had long hair with one side black and the other I think pink. It was nice.
COOL HAIR!
this is actually really nice. helping your friend feel accepted in the school. even if they have cancer.
I once went to a private school and they had separate gender toilets but in the same room, I stepped in and a lil gurl was like ‘wHo aRe You?’ And I was like ‘um maryam’ and she said ‘You sOunD lIkE a bOi’
I think this is probably my favourite storybooth. This girl has such a great attitude, and she such a great friend.
exuse me im not trying to be rude but this is how u spell favourite its favorite
Liem Hoang ExCUSE me but it isn’t “exuse “ it’s “Excuse” your welcome..
i wanted to like your comment but then it would turn from 420 to 421

@Beth M also Canada! Can confirm, am Canadian
As a male with long hair ,I was called girl on purpose when I was on a hike with my family and we met some people going down and some old man called me a girl and chuckled when I took my hat off to cool down . Boomer am I right
Your right
Mhm
brooooo some little kid thought i was a girl bc of myyyy long hair, this happened when I was visiting Russia to see my relatives. Hell, I even remember the little kid saying in Russian, "mamaaaa, is that a girl?", in such a simple, yet confusing response.
Yeah I had long hair during lockdown and all my relatives called me girl to make fun of me
Your right
I met someone with long hair while camping and I was like: “oh hi there...girl?”
And they went like: “I’m not a girl I’m actually a boy!”
(Btw I’m now friends with him.)
Good to know 😊
She’s a really good friend and she’s a really good person, I love her❤❤❤😍🥰🥸😲🤤🥴👍
I'm the opposite. I'm a guy with really long hair, and my parents keep insulting me because of it.
Cut it then lmao
@@im9777 He likes it that way
Ooh this makes me wanna be a boy and grow long hair like 80s
Man u parent is harsh jeez
Is it has somethin to anything? Idk anything plz explain :/
I'm a girl with really short hair and I get criticized by my grandparents all the time so I get it
Unlike this case, some girls like to have short hair. Girls don't have to have long hair if they don't want it.
NOT EVERY GIRL WITH SHORT HAIR IS TRYING TO BE TRANS/A BOY
got called a boy more than 1 time today lol
Ikr
I mean I am trans but.....
@@Popplebop I wasn't trying to insult anyone, although I believe the whole "gay/les/trans movement" is stupid, I hate that people think because a boy prefers long hair or that a girl prefers short hair they're trying to be the opposite gender
@@thelonelydragon8768 I had short hair (like a bob haircut but one side was shaved off) and everyone called me skrillex.

**aggressively supports friend**
That’s a true friend.
Just wear a shirt that says " I am a girl" so nobody can mistake you as a boy.
That girl in the end though 🤣😂✌
✌Was like peace am out ✌😂🤣
XD why did this comment make me laugh hard
Sad Sun xd wtf 😆
Yup
CONGRATS TO HER FOR BEATING CANCER
Im glad you shaved your hair for her,such a good friendship you have!
As a female with boy short hair, this is relatable.
I once went to the store with my brothers and we were looking for something we couldn't find, so we asked a lady who worked there and she said something I don't remember but this is something I do remember: She said "boys." and I'm just like, "But..I'm a girl." and she apologized.
I hate it when people assume I'm a dude because of my hair.

How do you get cancer?
I’m so happy that her friend is now cancer free!
I’m a gender neutral person and I like being seen as masculine, so whenever I go out in public and hold doors for people and they say “Thanks bud.”
Or “Thanks pal.” My heart melts and I feel accepted :)

I cut my hair super short because I have naturally super curly hair that tangles extremely easily and with my depression I never had/have motivation to do anything so brushing my hair is one if those things and honestly, some of my teachers have mistaken me for a boy when I wear multiple layers and have my mask on and it makes me super happy because Identify as non binary with he/they pronouns and I just like people thinking I'm a guy instead of a bio girl :))

I am a girl and I have short hair as well. Everyone thinks my hair is very nice thankfully. I will feel so upset if people made fun of me for looking like a boy. To be honest, I prefer to have my hair short rather than long because I look like a better person.
I used to have long hair, but I decided to chop it off when I was in 7th grade. I wanted to look ore cool and to be a tom boy. I also wanted to be able to take care of my hair and not have to struggle putting it in my shako hat for marching band. I might grow it longer when I am an old lady in the next 50 years.
My older sister caught lice, and we have to shave he hair as short as yours.
One day she had recess, and there were literally FIRST GRADERS _FLIRTING_ with her.
What gender were the first graders?
dom.mp3 are you fucking stupid?
dom.mp3 smh 🤦♀️ you are stupid.
dom.mp3 tbh this is the stupidest comment ive ever seen
@@ibu.pr0f3n No, I just wanna find out what gender were the first graders. I'm not sexist.
I have a shaved head too I can’t count how many times people have called me young man,sir,bro,and he/him
Well what did you expect?
Cause having short hair is more masculine tbh
Peter Griffin I know, but I have more prominent female features
@@kevinadams1835 ah
I have a pixie cut and wear trousers as my school uniform, and one time this kid kept calling me a transgender slur, A very offensive one, I told my teacher and he did nothing to sort it out so I just moved seats
*The person who confuse her a boy are blind*
Thank you
"I remember this one time where I went to the YMCA
me:Yyyyyyyyymmmmmmcccccaaaaaaa😂
That was very kind that u did that for your friend! Very nice :3
C’mon, girls can have whatever hair they want! Honestly it’s cute too! (Boys can also have whatever hair they desire. It’s not hurting anyone 😁)
Tru facs
Exactly. Thank you.
Thannnk you!!!!

For those of you who know anyone one that has been close to you, and has died due to cancer or any other reasons, just remember to stay strong and be positive. Don't worry, everything will feel fine after a while. 😊 It's also best to remember the great fun that you guys had. Remember, even though they are gone physically, they still remain with you in your hearts. 🤗😭❤️💓

I would do this if my friend got cancer
I GOT MY HAIR CUT AND DONATED IT TO CANCER
And got called a boy by my own boyfriend
Edit: I’m sobbing at how I acted lmao, this was 2 years ago (2019, nearly 3) and yes, I did donate my hair to a charity called the little princess trust fund which they make wigs out of hair that gets donated, I did this on the 23rd of December 2017, so at the current time I was 9, hair grows so when I posted this comment I was at the age of 11, I’m now 13 now and I can tell you that my “year 4 boyfriend” was not the gay one-
