- anon4551, on 07/01/2009, -3/+316wait.. that's his dad?!
- mikbunn, on 07/01/2009, -53/+334It's a private school, with a dress code. If the kid REALLY doesn't want to shave, he can go to public school.
This isn't that big of a deal.
And the father looks like an 80s scumbag. Nice floral blouse, freak. - simon182, on 07/01/2009, -13/+272He's obviously not too young to shave if he's got a moustache. It looks sick anyways.
- DivisibleByZero, on 07/02/2009, -5/+227"he's only 14 and if he starts now he'll have to do it for the rest of his life"
Hey Sherlock, most men do have to shave (or grow beards) for the rest of their lives.... - inactive, on 07/02/2009, -6/+180The father apparently believes that shaving makes your hair grow back thicker and faster.
"I wasn't going to do that. He's just a growing boy. He'd end up with stubble all over his face by the time he's 16."
Somebody needs to tell him that's not true. - mentallyinhell, on 07/01/2009, -2/+171I never understood what people had against facial hair. I had a boss try to tell me its unhygienic. I have reason to believe that that was an outright lie.
- Pitak89, on 07/02/2009, -3/+144I really think this story is absolutely retarded and is not newsworthy at all.
- brandnewx, on 07/02/2009, -9/+132Somewhere, someone will look at you and think you look like a scumbag.
- darknecross, on 07/02/2009, -8/+127Except the fact he enrolled in a private school with a uniform and dress code.
- mogwhy, on 07/01/2009, -12/+120"But an academy spokeswoman said it was a standard expectation that children are clean shaven."
I wonder if she has kids? And how often do you think they shave.
Oooh, wonder if this goes for girls too?
Seem to remember plenty of girls with moustaches at school. - Ghoztt, on 07/02/2009, -7/+104Pussies. I'm a Barbarian! I grow a thick full mane.... you beardless whelps. Someday all the metrosexuals will be defeated. And by Zeus's Beard peace will reign.
Began the Beard Wars have! - darknecross, on 07/02/2009, -1/+91What's with dadmom's hair?
- Codes02, on 07/02/2009, -7/+94You know what we should really ban?
those damn uni-brows.
Just look at their foreheads.... errggh.
How did the school let that one by? - sb66, on 07/02/2009, -0/+81Is Dad a Bollywood porn star or what
- siszam, on 07/02/2009, -8/+88As his parent you should have been upset that the school was wasting time on your child's looks instead of teaching him. Stop teaching your child to conform and teach him to demand that his teachers actually do their jobs.
- xeyne, on 07/02/2009, -0/+68no! this kid and his father understands what others don't.
that with great moustache comes great responsibility!!! - MicControl, on 07/02/2009, -2/+65Just like kissing leads to sex, moustaches lead to moustache rides
- jayrok, on 07/01/2009, -5/+55I'd rather they send the fat slaggy girls with moustaches home instead.
- fcaustic, on 07/02/2009, -3/+51If he or his parents don't like it maybe they'd be better off going to a school without a dress code. If it was a public school I'd agree wholeheartedly with you.
- youcantfind, on 07/02/2009, -5/+50This is a non-story. Schools are allowed to have dress code policies. My school didn't let you have facial hair or wear hair over the eyebrows or beyond the collar.
I lived. - smacksaw, on 07/02/2009, -2/+45It's not true. The father is wrong, so is your family. You don't build a thicker beard by shaving. If that were the case, balding men would get daily haircuts.
- dragtre, on 07/02/2009, -0/+40Unhygienic? Was the guy's hair completely shaven or something?
- Klisk, on 07/02/2009, -4/+42When I was growing up I had all the men in my family feed me this exact line:
"NEVER start shaving. EVER. If you don't shave you'll never have to. Once you start it's for the rest of your life."
I never really understood the logic. To this day my uncle tells me, "See? You have to shave now. You're an idiot. Why didn't you listen to me? That's worse than starting to smoke."
What? - gixxer600, on 07/02/2009, -4/+41going into the article i was inclined to be on the kids side but after hearing their weak ass excuse of it will ruin my face...WTF .....i was like your such a pussy also its a private school they make the rules
- max420, on 07/02/2009, -1/+35Your hair may appear thicker when it grows in after first shaving it. This is only because the tip of the newly grown hair will not be tapered to a fine point, but be the same width at the tip, as it is at the base. Giving it the appearance of being darker or thicker, when it really isn't.
- lesmalan, on 07/01/2009, -6/+38You're such an idiot. No one forced this kid to enroll in a private school. The parent and student knew, or should have known, that the dress code prohibits self expression through clothing, or hair. Clearly, the staff have the same standard. Whether you like beards or not is besides the point. If you don't like the rules, go elsewhere. "I wouldn't be surprised if no one in that school had a beard". Wow, no *****!
- taikyokuken, on 07/02/2009, -0/+32That's a disproved urban legend. Google it.
- Klisk, on 07/02/2009, -0/+31Oh, I'm quite aware it's a false belief. It just amazes me how people actually believe it, and rather commonly at that.
- Inaktivist, on 07/02/2009, -1/+29His dad is the ***** man. I would kill to look that Armenian!
- Scrappy1850, on 07/02/2009, -2/+30what else do you shave?
- soulonfire928, on 07/02/2009, -6/+32yeah cause I guess voicing my opinion on something isn't allowed.
- depro9, on 07/02/2009, -0/+25"I'm sorry but you have a porn stache, you can not return to class"
- jaromir68, on 07/02/2009, -1/+26Doesn't every school have a kid like this. When I was in jr. high there was a kid in 8th grade who had a moustache. Nobody freak-out then--except us jealous non-moustache kids.
- smacksaw, on 07/02/2009, -1/+25This explains the rocket pubes. He started shaving.
- elchispito, on 07/02/2009, -4/+27Unless his dad wants him to grow up and only ever land a job at Borders, he may as well teach him now that when you are admitted into a company or school with standards of dress and appearance, you are bound to those standards for the duration of your employment or schooling.
They didn't make this rule up on the kid just to give him a hard time. It's in the handbook, and they gave him a warning. - Melodik, on 07/02/2009, -1/+24Facial hair can be pretty awesome!
But not if it's fuzzy. - siszam, on 07/02/2009, -40/+63Schools are there to educate, not dictate how you wear your hair, what clothes you wear, etc. That is a parents job. It's none of the schools business how you look.
- shrewduser, on 07/02/2009, -2/+24now that's discrimination i can get behind!
- soulonfire928, on 07/02/2009, -6/+28Well I can't say much as a girl for shaving my face, but legs I started around 12 I think? So he's a couple years older...seems like a reasonable age to consider to start shaving your face as a male I guess. Or maybe I'm talking out of my ass, I'm not a guy so I have no ***** clue.
- aOenEz, on 07/02/2009, -2/+24I may be wrong but could have they been going for a subtle joke? You know, if you NEVER shave then you NEVER have to. Technically... I mean, it's a stretch but hell. Sure you would most likely trip on your beard while running at some point, but to some, that could be considered better than shaving. :)
- kernel16, on 07/02/2009, -0/+19***** yea! Facial hair is a man's version of a Lion's mane, wear it proudly sissies.
- AriaNoelle, on 07/02/2009, -4/+23His having a mustache wasn't their business. It's not like he was wearing a crop top or shorts so short his ass was exposed. Schools have no place dictating where natural hair can be.
- Animan351, on 07/02/2009, -0/+19I was about to digg you down, but then I read your last sentence and decided to digg you up instead.
- fcaustic, on 07/02/2009, -18/+36The school has a policy against having a moustache, and he's is refusing to abide by the policy. When I was at school I was told I had to shave my sideburns, instead of whinging to the media I got out a razor and shaved them off. It was much faster than an interview with a reporter would be.
- Brododium, on 07/02/2009, -0/+18"However, the teenager says he does not want to start shaving regularly at his age as it will ruin his skin."
A problem with shaving early during puberty is with acne scarring and skin abrasion.
If you have sensitive skin or severe/bad acne it's probably best to begin shaving later into one's teen years when the problem may have subsided.
In this incident it doesn't really appear to be the case, but I wouldn't rule it out. - darknecross, on 07/02/2009, -4/+22"'I had a call telling me to have a razor on standby, shave Akaash when he got home and send him back.'
[His father] added: 'I wasn't going to do that. He's just a growing boy. He'd end up with stubble all over his face by the time he's 16.'
Akaash, of nearby Fallowfield, is a Muslim, so unlike Sikhs he has no religious reason to avoid shaving.
However, the teenager says he does not want to start shaving regularly at his age as it will ruin his skin."
How is getting rid of that ratstache going to ruin his entire face and cause him to get stubble sooner? - Volath, on 07/02/2009, -0/+18Wow, he's not fueling Persian fashion stereotypes at all is he. /s
- vajra918, on 07/02/2009, -0/+18@Travelsonic because every few shaves you get a little older :)
