Sally Loves Her Hair
Sally loves her hair. She goes to school with her hair styled differently every day until one of her classmates, Benjamin, calls it weird and ugly. Sally goes home feeling like her hair really is weird, and considers cutting it, but her mom encourages her to style her hair however she wants, and to not let anyone tell her otherwise.

Sally Loves Her Hair
My name is Sally, and I love my hair! I love to style my hair as well! I love to style it in braids, space buns, normal buns, ponytails, or completely down.
This is my mom. She works at a salon, a place where people style hair for work. I love her very much!
This is my school. I love going to school! I also love my classmates and friends from school.
Today, at school, I was going to class when one of my classmates, Benjamin, stopped me. He then told me, "Your hair is so weird today. It makes you look like a loser!" That was really mean and hurt my feelings!
After school, I went home and into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and thought my hair might really be weird! Maybe Benjamin was right!
Then, my mom came into the bathroom. She saw me and said, "Your hair is beautiful! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If Benjamin says it's weird, then he's just jealous that you're so amazing!"
My mom really is awesome! I love her! I made sure to thank my mom and hug her.
In the morning, I was getting ready when I saw myself in the mirror. I looked amazing! Mom was right, and Benjamin was really wrong!
When I got to school, I saw Benjamin again. He went up to me again and said, "Your hair is still so weird."
But I didn't let his words get to me. I remember Mom's words and choose to use them against Benjamin. I said back, "It is not weird! You're just jealous."
Benjamin was so surprised that I stood up for myself. He didn't say anything and walked away. Yay!
After school, I ran home becuase of how excited I was about everything that happened. I found my Mom in the kitchen, making dinner. I went up to her.
"Mom! Mom!" I yell. She turns and smiles at me. "Welcome home! How was school?"
"School was amazing! Benjamin tried calling my hair weird again, but I told him it's beautiful and that he's just jealous. He walked away after!"
She hugged me. "That's wonderful! And you're completely right. He's just jealous of your awesome hair."
Benjamin never called my hair weird again after! I still style my hair however I want. And so should you! Be who you want to be without letting anyone tell you anything else!
