Dad Cuts Girl’s Hair Off For Getting Highlights, Mom Steps In

Such incidents make a deep scar in one’s mind, say psychologists. As a teenager, a child is at that fragile stage of their self-esteem, and if a child feels his or her parent has been involved in the betrayal process, they would develop a tremendous feeling of revenge against the parent and insecurity emotionally.

She must have also felt shame and powerlessness when her hair was forcibly cut in public; these emotions might be implanted in the psyche over time. Anxiety, depression, or even trust-related disorders might appear from these and then, over time, start to impact her relationships with those having power and with parents.
