My little sister wants a belly button ring

My mom says no
My older sister sides with my little sister because of that.

I am just wondering if she wants it for her own reasons, which I doubt. I wonder if she can name one reason why she personally wants a belly button ring. I doubt most people who get piercings do it for themselves alone.

 

you're wrong.

 

I think you're wrong too. How old is your little sister, though?

 

i got my nose pierced for me and me alone

how old is she?
if shes willling ot pay for it and is mature enough to take care of it (ie prevent infections), well... it took me about 3 months to convince my parents that i should get it done, and i paid for it myself n such. was 16, working pt, wasnt an expensive piercing mind you. if she does do it, make sure she goes to a reputable piercer, not some crappy shop that thinks guns are appropriate for every piercing.

 

When I got my eyebrow pierced (I dont have it anymore) besides that I like the way it looked, I got it because I like the "pain". It's an amazing adrenaline rush, the same thing happened when I got my tattoo, with both I didnt really feel any pain, but got extremely high from the experience and spent the rest of the day in hyperactive mode.
I've been thinking of getting my eyebrow pierced again, but it's the kind of thing I do in the spur of the moment. So we'll see what happens.
I dont know how other people feel about it, but I think the reason why people end with so many of them, it's because of that feeling. It's actually fun getting them.

 

Peircings are great, as long as you're cool with hepatitis C.

 

Yeah I have my eyebrow pierced and used to have a snake bite on my bottom lip, for the soul purpose of I liked how it looked.


all for me.

 

um no

 

um, she is 15, of course she doesn't want it for her self.

DUH.

she wants to fit in

 

I believe the reason is coolness. Your sister is young and is trying to explore, try new things out.

Your older sisters right, your mothers wrong and I'm sure your mothers bullshit reason is something along the lines of ladylike.

 

tell her the new fad is to get your anus pierced....

If she wants a piercing for whatever reason then thats really not for you to decide really, if she wants it to be like others then again thats all her as well...

 

I think you should support her, Carl, and here's why:

1) The age-old agreement that siblings must always gang up against their parents. This is important! Someday it will be her turn to take your side, too.

2) If she takes it out, it will heal back up. This isn't as momentous a decision as, say, getting a tattoo. If it turns out she regrets it, it's just no big deal.

I definitely think you should ask her why she's getting it, and go ahead and suggest that maybe it's just because all the other kids are doing it or whatever, and maybe she's not getting it for the right reasons! That's what you should do, as an older brother. But if she still wants to get it after that (which of course she will, because she's 15), I say get her back on it.

 

I am glad I don't have daughters.


Sort of on topic, I think parents who get their babies' ears done should get their babies noses and belly buttons done at the same time. What is the difference?

 

Why?

 

I don't see the big deal.

If she's doing it for popularity sake, then she'll eventually realize that she doesn't like it and will take it out... it's not like a piercing is permanent.

Other than that, it's just a bit of teenage rebellion... I say let it be.

 

Because most of them seem to go through that "i want to dress like a whore" stage...

I know when I was very young I thought it would make me look pretty to wear makeup and tube tops and sexy clothes...I was proabably 10 when that started. Thank god I was not allowed.

 

I wouldn't know what to do about that. Lots of talking. Lots of asking questions.

But I imagine little girls need to explore different personas as a part of their development. Hard to say.

 

we will drive our parents crazy, even if we are the sweetest things ever. It is inevitable that i date.....men, dun dun dunnnn, and my dad gets green in the face and almost faints when one simply hugs me or comes to the door to pick me up.
He's not that way with my brother, he once chased my brother *through* our front glass door,lol.

on subject, its just a belly button ring. if her parents say no and she still wants it at 17 or 18 then go for it.

 

I'm starting to get scared of having kids again...

 

my dad also tells me how i make his life worth living, along with my mom and brother and that I am his angel and that if anything ever happened to me he couldn't bare it, lol.

I think of course youre life changes, and you never stop worrying when you have kids, but you also get a sort of love you don't feel with anything else in the world.

don't let being afraid stop you from having kids if that is what you want.
