Hey, I figured you were in the band with a nickname like that. At least they let you wear it to school. And you probably should wear underwear just in case. The main thing with any relationship, be that family, or others anywhere, is communication. Hopefully you don't get "rebellious" with your dad, but have you asked him exactly what is it that he doesn't like.

If you have had good comments from teachers or friends, let him hear what they have said. Don't disagree with him, but try to see where he is coming from. Maybe he is just worried people will make fun of you or put you down, or even hurt you by a fight or something. He loves you and wants what is best for you, but may not see how it really is going.

You could tell him at least you are not a punk rocker, or a bad kid that gets into trouble, but that is hard for us to know without really knowing you. I am sure there will be some other suggestions, so read them all, think about your options, and let us know how this all works out.

DALE.
