If it makes you feel any better...when i was about 12, i got my haircut by some woman, whom, at the end said...
"Now you have a big boy's haircut!" Since i was like shy as hell,...i didnt say anything, but that def scarred me for a few years given i was in the awkward adolescent stage. So yeah, i DID have short hair...but that was her ONLY excuse since i was wearing girl clothes, wearing earrings...and as a hairdresser...lets hope she was NOT blind!!
