Even if their reasons seem silly to you, try to understand where they're standing.
Aside from the basic lower ear, most piercings have the reputation as being part of rebellion and drug use. While there honestly isn't such a strong connection, that reputation could be the root of what your parents feel.
Legally, in many places, you are indeed too young to get a piercing without parental consent. If you are sure that you want this piercing, then you will have to prove to them that you have the maturity to handle it (that means no whining fits) and that things will be done safely.
Whatever happens, don't try to pierce yourself or let a friend do it. There are real dangers for getting pierced, especially if the place and needle are unsanitary. [ erythisis's advice column | Ask erythisis A Question ]

IM_SO_HARDCORE answered Sunday April 9 2006, 11:32 pm: i think that whenever your ready to take care of your piercings yourself, then your ready to get all the piercings you want. like if your parents cleaned your ears for you that would be different, but if your willing to take responsibilty for them, then your ready.

fish34 answered Sunday April 9 2006, 12:35 pm: No, I personally think it's just about the right age, but it depends on you and your parents, so if you're parents think that you're too young, I'd probably just listen to them and wait a bit. [ fish34's advice column | Ask fish34 A Question ]

karenR answered Saturday April 8 2006, 7:52 pm: I personally think you're old enough.
If it were your nose or tongue...or an even more painful place you were wanting to pierce I might have a problem with it. Upper ear though? Tell your parents there are a lot worse places to be pierced. Lucky for them you just want one in your ear! :)
