Q: I'm 13 years old going on 14 this December. I currently have my first hole pierced in my ear. I got it done in the first grade and wore earrings for a while. Then, a few years ago, I kinda just stopped, but last week, I started up again because yet again, I'm interested in wearing earrings. I really like the idea of piercings, and I would love to get the cartilage at the top of both of my ears pierced. (how much is it? will it hurt?) I asked my mother and she said that "I don't need it there".
I tried saying things like:
"Well I know, but I didn't need my first hole either."
and she says how I don't wear earring anymore, and I tell her the truth:
"I only have a few pairs and they're bent anyway."
my sister has both her first, second, and third hole pierced, so I kinda hint in how it isn't too fair how she has 3 piercings and I only have one.
I even offer to pay for it, and clean it, and do that on my own so she doesn't have to remind me.
it's kind of convincing her .. but I really want to get it done before my birthday (December 18) and I want to get it done before school starts.
help?
