CoKeIzZle answered Sunday January 2 2005, 5:10 pm: Hey hun, maybe you should wait to get your nose pierced because moms usually always have reasons for things. But if you really want to convince her show her that you are responsible enough to have it done. You might also want to tell her that you will do extra things maybe around the house if she lets you get it done. Or maybe make a deal with her. Hoped I helped!

takingfive answered Sunday January 2 2005, 4:48 pm: You are in that brilliantly volatile stage in life called "adolescence". When I was an adolescent, I had all sorts of insane ideas, like wanting to get a tattoo in the shape of a potato on my ankle, or that tongue rings seemed to make people appear more mature, or that I thought jumping out of an airplane seemed like a good idea. What I'm trying to say is, things that you like now will probably be things that you hate in about 5 seconds. Even if it is "just a piercing", nose piercings will permanently scar your nose when you take them out, and risk getting infected if they aren't done properly. Your parents are smart in saying that you should not get anything pierced until you're older. In fact, I think they are being quite lenient in saying that you should only wait until you're 16.
What's the hurry anyway? I think your parents' logic is that right now, this is probably some crazy idea that you have floating around in your head, and if you still really want it in two years time, it's probably not just a fleeting thought that is in your head like most of the other ones that are happening to you right now. Nose rings, tattoos, and piercings of any kind are just like boys at your age... You may looooooooooooove them one day, but the next, you could hate them. Your parents are just looking out for your best interest, they aren't trying to be ogres. Respect their decisions and remember that they are indeed smarter than you.

The only thing I can tell you is to show her that you are responsible and you wont get out of hand when you get one. Parents love it when you act responsible! But if that doesn't work....2 years isn't all that long. Think about it this way...you've waited 14 years..2 more wont kill ya! [ MCalways's advice column | Ask MCalways A Question ]
Karen answered Sunday January 2 2005, 4:18 pm: Why don't you show your mother that you're responsible? Try to improve in school, help her around the house, take care of your siblings, be nice, clean your room more often, and try doing other things like that. Just tell her that you really want your nose pierced and you'll show her that you're responsible enought to get it done! Hope I helped :)
