my mom won't let me get pierced ears!
i rate high!!!!!!!
i'm 13 and my mom won't let me get pierced ears. the problem is....earrings are my favorite jewelry & i'm obsessed with looking at them & buying them (except i can't because i can't wear them!!). so i have to wear clip-ons and they don't have a big variety and they come off easily or break easily, etc... i really want pierced ears, i think i'm probably the only 13 year old girl i've ever met who has no pierced ears (except ones that didn't want them, and i've only met one girl like that). i know i shouldn't give in to peer pressure but ever since i was really little, i saw this woman wearing earrings & i wanted to wear those SO badly! my mom says i'm not responsible or w/e. we have a housekeeper & i did chores FOR her and proved i was responsible and i have contacts and hamster and i clean my room a lot and EVERYTHING but she still won't let me have one! sometimes i tend to be somewhat irresponsible like every normal girl but then she points it out AND IGNORES ALL THE RESPONSIBLE THINGS I DO! idk what to do, anyway i could convince my mom about pierced ears or somehow do it at home??? thanks i rate

ok well dont pierce your own ears first of all. my friend did that and they got really infected and she had to go to the docter. remind your mom of all the responsible things you have done. everyone makes mistakes and makes dicisions that arent responsible sometimes. let her know how much this relly means to you and im sure she will understand. hope i helped XoXo

The best way to prove to your mom that you're responsible is by proving your knowledge on the subject. Become an expert on ear peircings; keeping them clean, how long they take to heal, different types of metal that can be damaging to sensative pericings, etc. If youc an show her that you're absolutely sure about anything and everything that could go wrong and how to prevent it, how can she say no?
First of, know that you can't go wearing all those fancy dangly pretty earings right of the bat. Chances are, you'll start of with small studs that you'll have to wear for 6 months to a year before the hole is completely healed over. It's okay to switch the earings after the first month or two, but you still need to clean the peircings regularly and whenever you put new peircings in, clean the posts in the solution you're provided with when you get them peirced. All this sanitation prevents infection and will help your ears heal better. Certain kinds of metal can be bad to put in your ear when it's still healing. Getting a silver, high-quality peircing stud is your best bet.
Good luck!

You shouldnt try at home you could really get hurt that way but it isn*t right for your mom do do that to you. Ask your mom why not. Maybe she has got a reason from her past and if she answers you and says your just not tell her thats not a reason> I hope I have helped in someway!Im me if needed Sportychicc9393

Well, I would suggest keeping up what you are doing and possibly keeping a list of everything you have done. Then show it to your mom. Ask her what her reasons are exactly? Maybe she had a bad experience?
You could do some research and find out more about it. The risks involved, how you can stop those risks and a list of trusted people where you live.
I really don't think you should do it yourself. Not only would it be very painful (it is painful with the piercing gun, but after the inital pain, it is all over) you could could get halfway through and find it too painful to carry on. It could so easily go wrong or get infected.
I personally would just keep asking. Show my Mum what I had found out about it. Ask her her reasons and explain yours. Ask her friends, who have let their own children have it done to put in a good word for you.
Good luck!

Here is a story that may help you: I went through the exact same thing when I was your age. Eventually I stopped mentioning it because I wasn't getting anywhere. When I was 15, I was going through a really hard time, and I informed my mom that we'd be going to the mall so I could get my ears pierced. She said okay.
I cleaned them all the time but I couldn't really get the stuff on the hole. My friend took a look at it and it turned out they put the earring on so tightly that it had bruised my ear and it was stuck. I had to pull really hard and they then were normal.
I still cleaned them all the time but they got infected. It was gross. Then I left them out and life is better. Pierced ears suck.
Also you could always do it yourself. I have many friends who pierced their own nipples, tongues, etc. Just be careful.

wow i think you have been thur a lot just to get your ears pierced...tell your mom how much it means to you and what you did just so you could get your ears pierced .... just try talking to her about it & if she says no again then you could wait untill your birthday and then tell her thats the onli thing you want for your birthday! if you need anything else just ask xoxo Dzana

I think you should sit down with your mom and tell her how you really want them and if she keeps saying "no" then you are going to get them pierced any ways.

Perhaps you can work and save up enough money to get your ears pierced. Maybe THAT will show your mom that you want something and you are willing to work for it.
