Pretty jealous of my friend?

You see, we’re both males and we both have rather feminine sides. He’s also an emo and truth be told, I envy him at times. He has naturally long hair while I just have normal short hair and most girls are attracted to him for that. He is able to express his feminine side more than I can. I can’t help but think he has it naturally than me because he has a hairless body while mine is covered in body hair and again, he has longer hair.

The reason why I haven’t been able to feminize myself much is because my parents are against. I can tell because they can be close-minded at times. His parents on the other hand don’t seem to care. I don’t know what to do? I don’t want to lose him as a friend. We both are pretty much our only friends since the beginning of college.

Also, please don’t think I’m trolling or being a “homophobic asshole”. I got that comment from one person on the venting chat rooms which was stupid. We are also both straight, not that being gay is a bad thing. We totally accept the rights of gays.

(Oh yeah, and I had no idea where to put this since there’s no “Friends” category)

You do what you want to do, don't let anybody else have any say in your life. It's completely up to you, be however you want just as long as you're happy. :-)

I don't think there's such a thing as "naturally long hair". Everyone can grow their hair out. About your parents, that stinks. I don't know them so really it's hard to give you any advice on that one... only you know how far you can go and while you are old enough to make your own decisions I understand the fact that you don't want to "piss them off" (I take it you're living with them...?). Try not to compare yourself to your friend too much, you need to find someone who is into YOU and maybe likes you BECAUSE of your body hair! I know I don't like "naked" guys, haha :)

I would just have a calm conversation with my parents and explain how you feel. Then I would just try to resolve your jealous feelings with your friend by explaining again how you feel. Also, grow out your hair if you want to, your parents have no control over your body and you should be able to do what you want to do. Also you are not being a homophobic asshole, idk why someone would say that.
