My mom doesn't like that I am different than most people my age (I'm 17/in grade 12). She never fails to inform me that I don't dress fashionably enough for her, I don't have enough friends, I don't 'go out', etc.
The things I do right, she doesn't even mention. I get good grades in school, I have more or less secured a spot at a very good university, and I help out around the house with the cat litter, garbage, dishes, laundry, etc. I don't do things without her permission, I don't have tattoos, my hair isn't some funky colour, I ask before I get piercings. But, none of that matters. She always complains to me that I'm not like other teens.
So, this is what I told her last week: I'm going to start doing things without her permission. The first thing I want is to get a somewhat drastic haircut (I don't actually have a mohawk). I REALLY want this hair, but I know she won't allow it. If I got the haircut, would it be justified, how would you react if your child did this?
Thanks in advance for all your answers!!! =]
This wouldn't fit in the text, so here is the picture. I want my hair to look something like this:

You can comment on the hair if you want, but I would prefer comments on whether it would be justified to do this against her will.
