my best friend.
ok so ill make this as short as i can. some background info: i went to a private school for 9 years where i had a small extremely close-knit group of friends. their parents were always very strict on them and they werent always allowed to do things most kids/teens can do, which basically irritated me because my mom let me have my freedom as long as i wasnt a little hoodlum you know but they became very close-minded basically because of their parents i guess, although they were good friends. soo after 8th grade i switched schools and sadly lost touch with most of them except my best friend of the group. two years ago in 9th grade i got my cartilage pierced [i already had 2 holes in each lobe.. and she had just gotten her first hole done like the yr before i think because she wasnt allowed before]. she hated it. she said if i get any more piercings she wouldnt talk to me. honestly what kind of friend says that? i was basically like wtf? but let it blow over. and nevertheless i pierced the cartilage on my other ear that summer. she never said anything about it, so it was ok. well our communication became less and less since we both had busy schedules, and we basically didnt talk at all for a long time.. occasionally on myspace or text but didnt see each other. now a month ago i got my industrial pierced but havent seen her since then. well im hanging out with her tomorrow, were going to an amusement park and my hair will have to be up and i know she'll see it.. and cant WAIT to see what shes gonna say about it. same with her mom. what should i do? im obviously not gonna take it out or anything just because she doesnt like it but i know im gonna end up pissed off when she says something about it. i dont care what people think about me with the exception of my close friends and family, so if it was anyone else i wouldnt really care.. but yeahh.. any ways on how to deal so i wont be stuck with her for hours tomorrow being pissed?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Ask her, What does my piercings have to do with me and you being friends?
And you should also tell her that you getting something pierced doesnt change you as a person.
Regardless how this situation goes down, One of you might end up being pissed. But since both of you have aged a little bit, Im sure she has probably gotten over the "I wont be your friend because...." stage.

you know it sux that she cant be more supportive but its not her fault. its what she was brought up believing. you are very fortunate to have open minded parents but your friend is not. it reminds me of how some parents and friends are not supportive of having a gay friend or child. although i believe that there is nothing wrong with being who you are some people were raised differently so try to think of it that way. by the way i have 2 holes in each ear too and i think itd be awesome to get a cartlige piercing. hopefully ill get one soon =]. anyways try not to let it get to you because your friend loves you and im sure her mom thinks you're a great person. anyways have fun tomorrow and dont worry about it.

tough, because i know i would just get pissed and most likely not say something. i usually deal with my shit online. if she says something just like realize shes acually probably jealous her parents wouldnt allow that. if shes like 'shes a little sleeze bag' or something because i know girls with alot of piercings and people think that about them, i would bitch her out right there, but if its like 'oh.. you got ANOTHER piercing?' be like 'yeah, so?' or something. ha [:
