In the great scheme of things, a piercing is way down on the list of things to worry about. So why am I so concerned? My son wants to get a pierced ear, and if I don't get my way he will. I don't know what's worse; my son getting his ear pierced or doing it even after I said no. So what's my problem? A lot of high school guys have piercings. Well, for one, my son already is good looking (takes after me) and doesn't wear other jewelry. Secondly, a lot of high school guys have piercings - if he wants to be different, as he says, then he needs to do something else. I feel he just doesn't have the right reason.
I've been talking to other people on this topic and am interested in your opinion. Do we allow it because he could be doing a lot worse? Or do we make him wait another year until he's 18? Do you have personal experience, an opinion or a story? EMail me at howlinblog@yahoo.com
