I don't like it when my mum tries to beat around the bush about stuff I wear that she doesn't like. An example:
Me: *goes to put on this one hat that I have*
Mum: Hey, you should wear this one instead!
Me: This one is fine.
Mum:...Or this one. This one is nice!
Me: But I like this hat.

What's wrong with it?
Mum: It's a little young for you.
Me:...It's just a hat.
Mum: Wear a different one.
Me: Why?
Mum: BECAUSE IT'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU. Maybe the reason why people think you're slow at school is because of this hat!
Me:-Is too bewildered by my mum's generalizations of people who have MR wearing certain kinds of hats to say anything-
She does it about my hair, too. But she doesn't get that people STILL laugh at me at school and will do so regardless of what she does to my hair and wardrobe. Of course, the things that they say hurt a bit but I'm in high school now, the vast majority of kids in my school DO NOT CARE about the hats I wear, and if they bug me about then that's THEIR PROBLEM. I am no longer as vulnerable and alone as I was in middle school, I know she's just looking out for me and I appreciate the thought, but all she's doing is making me feel ugly all the time.
Nevermind the fact that hat's don't age, her assumptions about things and people 'looking ret*d' probably hurt people who are actually 'ret*d', and her saying that she would've bugged me about it when she was my age doesn't help at all.
And then she says that's what the real world is like...I know that's what the real world is like, I just want a place at home where all the crap that happens in the real world DOES NOT MATTER.
-Is sorry for the length of this, any parts that sound spoiled or emo, and the fact that it's not quite as lighthearted as other things in this thread-

U are right, If people bug u because of your look it is their problem.
