You should dye your hair whatever colour you want hun! Honest, why should other people judge you? It nothing to do with anyone what goes on in your life. I say dye your hair whatever colour you think you look best in! x

dont worry about trying to make people think that you are older than you are, be proud to be a good young mum show people that the stereo type isnt true. i am 23 and have 2 little girls aged 3.5 and 6 months, but i look even younger than i am, most people think im about 17 or 18, but dont care people can think what they like. i used to find that one
of the other mums at phoebe's preschool used to talk really slowly to me
she must have thought that just because i had my daughter at 19 that im obviously really thick and totally incapable of holding a conversation at a normal pace, it was quite funny really. you cant let what other people think bother you just show them by your actions that you are a mature and capable mother. x
