Why wont my mom let me get snakebites
I have been asking my mom for snakebites for about 3 years (I'm 13) everytime I ask her when I can get tem she says "once you move out" I don't know what age I'm moving out though...I have been on the computer researching everything there is to know about them, I even know all the types there are, I even have a job planned out if I get them ill work at HotTopic..... she thinks that they are horrible,I think they are awsome, what should i do to tell her how bad I want them I mean I REALLY want them. I did my ears by myself so if I was allowed I could just use some of my earrings instead of expensive lip rings, oh, and she threatened me if I do it before I move out that she will take me to the doctors and get them sewn shut (she sounded serious so I'm scared now) so how do I tell her how bad I want them and she will never listen to me when I do try to talk to her, THANX FOR READING AND SORRY IT WAS SOO LONG!!!

Honestly, you're only 13. I know it's hard to hear that you're "only" a certain age, especially since you must think you're so grown up. Hell, when I was your age, I was screaming at my mom "I'M 13, I'M PRACTICALLY AN ADULT" when I was really just a dumb kid.
Anyway, there's really nothing you can do. You're still a kid, so you have to listen to your mom on this one. Sorry about that. And there isn't anything you can say to change her mind; parents seem to hate everything about piercings (except for ears and maybe navels) and tattoos. Our generation is extremely fond of those things, but theirs isn't, unfortunately.
But dont' worry about it, maybe it's for the best? You never know, maybe you CAN'T get that job in HotTopic (they don't hire everyone). Then who'd hire you?
By the way, you can't use earrings on your lips. Lip rings are thicker and longer than regular earrings..

It is just something you are going to have to deal with. I know it is not what you want to hear. When I was your age I wanted my tounge pirced so awful bad. So I went to a guys house who did pircings and he had my tounge clamped and was taking an awful long time and I could just hear my mom and dad talking in my head (no im not crazy) Telling me not to do it etc. So I chickened out. Best choice I ever made I am now almost 20 not tattoos no pircings other than my ears and I like it this way. Wait till you are 18 or 19 years old and see if you still feel that same way about them as you do now. If so your a legally able to get them pirced.

Ok so you're 13...you know what I wanted when I was 13? I wanted to dye my hair black and pierce my nose. Of course, my mom would never allow it, no matter how much I persisted. I begged and begged for months and she still said no. And you know what? I am SO thankful that she didn't let me do that to myself. It would have looked terrible and trashy, and looking back on it, I understand COMPLETELY why she said no. Trust me on this, things change drastically between the time when you're 13 and 18 and you are always going to be wanting to do something new and exciting. You probably feel like you want them more then anything in the world right now, but I am willing to bet anything that in a year, you will have changed your mind. And if you haven't, then why not wait until you move out? If you can wait long enough to move out and you still want them just as bad, the go ahead...but for now, I recommend you listen to your mom and respect her as your parent. She's not trying to be mean, she's just trying to look out for you. And besides, there really isn't any changing parent's minds when it comes to things like this (tattoos, piercings, hair dye, etc.) Just let it go and if you haven't changed your mind by the time you're 18, then go for it. Goodluck, Jess.
