So my dad tells me how nobody in reality is going to respect me because i have a tongue ring. I thought respecting somebody wasnt because of how they look [as in having a tongue ring] and because i have 17 piercings. I swear he is embarassed of me and he wants like the perfect little daughter or something
Ew. he makes me so mad. blahh (link)

Sorry if you don't like this, but to an extent--your dad is right. I don't think he is saying what he is saying to hurt you or put you down. He probably just wants to give you his opinion because he cares about you. People judge other people. It's just how things are. You have to look at it this way: If you are going for a job interview at a perstigious company, and the first thing the interviewer sees is a face and body chalked full of piercings, they are going to in turn make assumptions based on your appearance. That could affect you getting the job or not. Yes, I know we're not suppose to judge a book by its cover, but that's how our society naturally is. It's probably not that he wants you to be perfect, but he probably doesn't want people to think less or differently of you because you have a few more hole in your body than others. Just try talking to your dad. Express to him that you feel like this is a form of self expression and something you like. Say that you don't want to hurt or offend anybody, but that it DOES hurt you when he makes comments. I am sure he will be understanding, but at the same time, at least try to see where he is coming from. :)
