I want to stretch my ears..
So I'm a fourteen year old female and, as you can tell, I want to stretch my ears. I am a good student getting mostly A's, I am responsible, and, for the most part, mature for my age. I brought up the subject with my parents and they screamed at me to the point where I just left and cried. I can't explain to them why I like them without them yelling at me. I understand that they are concerned that it would be hard to find a job. It is pretty clear that their opinion won't change and I was thinking maybe just doing it on my own. I've researched the topic a lot.
I got thinking why not do it now? I like them and I want them so what's stopping me? My parents.. but why should they stop me from what I want to do with my body? As a teenager I want to make my years rememberable and it just makes sense to me. I can buy tapers on my own and slowly stretch them. They won't notice up to a certain point anyways..
No hate, please. And just tell me what you think if you have them done.. Should I just go for it or wait until I'm 18. Thank you.
I was also thinking of writing a paper on it and giving it to my parents since they won't listen to me maybe they will understand better even though they will probably still say no.
I think I will try this before I stretch my ears myself.

I don't have my ears gauged, but I did want to when I was around your age. My parents wouldn't allow me to do it.
Sure, it's your body, and technically your choice. However, as your parents, they can choose to withdraw certain privileges until you choose to remove the tapers. Things like being allowed to hang out with friends, or having a cell phone or computer access. That's how my parents countered my "my body, my choice" argument. This can continue past the age of 18, should you choose to live at home past that point, so being an adult has nothing to do with it.
Why should they not want you to do it? Because it's permanent past a certain point. You actually need to get corrective surgery to close up the gaping hole in your ear, which you might not want past the age of say, 25. It's expensive and it's painful to get corrected, and your ears are really ugly once you take out the gauges.
I wanted to gauge my ears, and my parents said no. I was a mature A student with a part time job, volunteer work and athletic involvement. I thought I knew it all, and I didn't understand why my parents would be so stubborn. A few years later and I'm thanking them for it, because it would have been a decision I'd be regretting now. I'm 22, just getting to a point where I'll be applying for professional jobs. I don't want to be thinking about dress code issues.
There are a ton of ways to make your teens memorable. Try taking up photography, sketching, writing, or heck, get a few extra piercings! Altering your body permanently is a big decision, and not one you want to make in your early teens, mature or otherwise.

Okay, first things first, your 14 years old, you cant really do anything with your ears unless they approve. But they have fake gauges that you can use. Its just an earring that looks like a gauge. They also have magnetic ones u can use as well.
Those would probably be your best bet, try checking out Hot Topic!

I pierced my nose on my own when I was younger and my stepdad just made me take it out. Your parents will probably just make you take the tapers out, so I wouldn't try and do it yourself.
