Top 10 Biggest Struggles of Being a Tomboy
I usually like wearing graphic t-shirts most of the time, but sometimes when I go shopping, I have to buy some "trendier" things because my mom says graphic t-shirts can't be the only things I wear. My mom does say that I cooperate the best when it comes to clothes shopping, though.
I'm also pretty sure I wouldn't be allowed to wear a women's tuxedo for a formal dance.
This happens to me sometimes. Once, my mom made me wear a dress because I was wearing a black shirt and plaid pants. I got so mad because I didn't feel like myself. My mom knows that I don't like dresses or skirts and that I prefer more masculine things.
There was a time when girly girls did not accept me for being a more tomboyish girl who didn't want to listen to their boy bands or wear a bunch of jewelry.
Girly girls always seem to hate the fact that I hang out with guys, but it doesn't get to me.
I hate this so much! I'm a tomboy and straight, yet the girly girls in my school call me a dyke and a lesbian. It turns out that one of the girls who bullies me is bisexual!
I am not a lesbian. Not all tomboys are lesbians. Just because they dress boyish does not mean they are. I am bisexual and actually lean more towards men.
Sure, I wear metal band t-shirts, and I have a leather jacket and want more. I want a sidecut (because they're metal)! The latter is usually associated with lesbians, but I want one, and I'm asexual.
One of my sisters is like this. I hate makeup. I tried putting it on once because I was going to this fall bash party, but I just ended up looking like I had a black eye or something, so I took it off.
This applies to all of my family members. My mom wants me to wear very feminine clothes, and my dad gets mad at me for wearing hoodies and flannel shirts.
My Asian relatives think that since I'm born a girl, I have to act like a girly girl forever.
There is a huge difference between calling out some annoying people and hating every girly girl. Please learn it.
I don't hate girly girls. Some of my friends are girly girls, and they are nice people.
Every time I go out, I feel pressured by my parents to put on makeup just to look good. But I don't care if I look good.
Yep. Every time I go to a school dance or wedding.
Honestly, I feel that. I am a mix of tomboy and girly, but to be honest, I hate wearing high heels. I know some ladies wear them to feel powerful, but I will never wear those - they are uncomfortable.
Which is why I avoid high heels. If I wear a dress with anything, I wear flats (or sparkly Converses). Update: I don't wear dresses anymore, and for prom this year and next year, I'm wearing a tuxedo.
Haha, this is me. I just wear combat boots or regular boots that aren't that high up.
I have a pretty deep voice for a girl. When I first sent a voice recording in a chat room on Amino, one member - who I commonly chatted with - said my voice was manly, even though I'm a girl. When I'm recorded or on video and happen to speak, my voice sounds like a teenage boy's. Even when I make Roblox-based characters, they're often mistaken for guys, and my winter outfit on my regular Roblox avatar is mistaken for male.
Again, you don't have to be girly to avoid being mistaken for a man.
Some people think I look like a boy.
I HATE dresses, but my mom always makes me wear them on special occasions, and I hate it.
The thing with sports is that I am not good at them, not because I hate playing or because I don't have the energy. I have both. The issue is that I don't have the organized, quick-thinking skills needed for sports. Sometimes, I might break a rule simply because I didn't follow a step correctly. There are just so many rules in sports, and you have to act quickly. I'm not the most organized person, nor am I the quickest thinker.
I prefer more free-form sports like skating, which isn't very structured. I haven't skated before, but I feel like I would be decent at it since it's not as organized, and I have the energy for it.
Look, I agree I wear t-shirts and boyish stuff, but it's much better than walking in a short skirt and wearing heels.
Pink is for girls - not for me or any other tomboys out there.
1. It's an ugly color.
2. It's a girly color.
3. The girls' section always has girly clothes that are pink.
4. Your parents want you to wear pink, but you don't want to wear that dang color!
