I've been through a lot in my life, more then most but not nearly as much as others. I feel like I can offer people a lot of stress relief by telling them what I have learned through all of my problems to hopefully help them combat theirs.

I have dealt with watching my father die when I was only 6 years old, I know what it is to work sunrise to sunset (I live on a farm), I understand that the bonds between siblings can be the strongest things we ever feel.
I have gone through the battle on cancer with my mother; I have shaved her head, helped her pick out her wig, fed her food only to hold a bucket as she puked it up minutes later. I watched a human being slowly die and I have been to my mother's funeral all before I finished my senior year of high school, what was supposed to be the greatest year of my life.

I'm in college now and also understand how much that can change a person. It is with all the events that have happened in my life- all the love I have experienced and all the love I have lost that I believe I can offer advice to another person, even if it is only a little.

i pierced my own belly button a few days ago with a really thick, steralized needle, and i took it out and immediately put a normal gaged ring in.. the ring was my friends from when she went to get her belly button pierced, and i steralized it..

please dont yell at me, i already know its bad to pierce your own belly button..
ive been putting peroxide on it, and triple anti bacterial ointment on it. mostly peroxide though, and ive been cleaning it a lot. the first two days it was like oozing yellow/ whitish stuff, and it dried up as crust.. but i kept cleaning it and it went away...

now it just hurts. It is SOOOOOOO SOAR. like litterally, i cant even sit up straight in my seat at school, i know its supposed to be soar for a few weeks, but i feel like mine is unbelieveably painfuler than all my friends..

also, it looks better but it looks like the skin around the hole is peeling a little bit.. is that normal?

i want to know if i am cleaning it out right, and is there anything i can do to ease some of this pain?? like, anything i can put on it?? i just basically dont know how to handle it.. so if someone could help me learn how to take care of it and what to do and not to do with it, thatd be great :) thanks...


oh also, my mom doesnt know, and she was gonna take me in december to get it done for my birthday.. but i REEEALLY wanted it for the summer.. so i was wondering.. if i take it out after summer in like september, will it close up for me to get it repierced by december?? tthanksss =) (link)
saline solution should help, but if it starts oozing again then it's infected n u need to take it out and go to the doctor

you can leave it in, but won't it be odd in december when your mom takes you to get it pierced to discover it's already done?
you basically just set yourself up for a fight with your mom- she's going to see that she can't trust you and that your not patient/mature enough to just wait a few extra months for a piece of metal to be stuck through a part of your body

your lucky your mom said yes in the first place, most would never let their child pierce their belly buttons

uhh you didnt answer any of my questions, and basically critisising me and my mother calling her a bad parent for letting me get my bellybutton pierced when im going to be 18 years old, and youre basically calling me immature.
