I didn't read anyone's response*

 

 

 

I have both of my ears pierced, (I'm a male), not gay, or bi (not that it's relevant or anything wrong with that). My mom never really wanted me to get one, but then again, I only asked her once, and she said sure. What I did was keep my room clean for a few months, do my chores, and homework, all that. Then I told her to think back and to see how responsible I have been, and that she should allow me to do it. It worked. I guess you could try that. It's not like it can hurt. Overall I don't see the point in a nose ring, but there's probably just as much as a point as earrings depending on who you ask.

 

 

 

I'd just try to show them you're mature, and that you should be able to make your own decisions.

My parents wont let me listen to screamo. ):

 

 

 

Also, i cant cook eggs anymore cus i burned myself once -_-

My friend isn't allowed to use a knife because she cut herself accidentally once.

And fail, eggs are good.

When I was 7, I wanted a giant Pikachu tattoo on my back. My mom didn't let me get one, I cried for a day and then moped for a week.

 

 

 

Thanks Mom, for keeping me from ruining my life.

 

I think you should still get one. That would be one of the best things ever. :mrgreen:

Seriously. A pikachu, alone, would be gay. But a giant one? Would it be like in the PokeDex, where it shows a comparison between you and the pikachu's size?

 

 

 

"I'm sometimes allowed to cut kiwifruit, but only sometimes."

 

Do kiwis only grow in New Zealand? I don't get all the kiwi jokes. And the birds, kiwis. What's up with them, huh? Are they a fruit, are they a bird, sometimes you just don't know.

 

 

 

^^^ ROFL

 

 

 

Anyway, my parents won't let me have any piercings or tattoos, which I'm cool with.

In our household, whatever you buy, regardless if you bought it with your own money, every sibling owns it as well.

 

 

 

Also, opinions and individuality are barred.

 

 

 

I'm lucky to get a haircut and wear jeans as opposed to those silly asian clothing.

 

 

 

Tattoos and piercings? My parents would slap me silly even if I mentioned it in conversation.

Ride my bike to school :wall: Though I don't blame them, as my mother had a stillborn baby and doesn't want to lose another one of her children.

 

 

 

If you really want that piercing, try to persuade them, but try and offer a compromise to them - helping around the house more or something like that. If you work with them and not against them you can probably come to some sort of agreement.

 

 

 

I can see where your parents are coming from though, I think they probably view it as some kind of "deformity" that you are just adding to yourself - I know my parents think the same.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, everyone using gay as a negative adjective, you should be ashamed.

Oh, wah. It's "gay". Stupid people don't take offense to the word "stupid", because there are too many of them. Plus, the term actually fits. Until somewhat recently here in the west, piercings were usually only found with homosexuals. It's stayed as a term.

 

 

 

My parents give me a lot of freedom, I've realized. Although, from my point of view, I reckon I've earned said leeway.

I actually know a kid who has a real pikachu tattoo -.-

If you're a guy, having an earring in your right ear is generally a sign you're gay. I think.

 

Of course, right ear =/= nose...But still.

Also, everyone using gay as a negative adjective, you should be ashamed.

 

 

 

I agree. Although I can see where they are calling a nose piercing gay, as in literally, homosexual. I hate when people say something is gay, meaning stupid, etc.

Yeah when you say something is gay, and saying it is bad you are actually saying being homosexual is bad. But I guess there is a new definition for gay now.

 

 

 

And to be on subject, my parents don't let me talk to blacks or communicate with girls. But I do anyways.

Also, everyone using gay as a negative adjective, you should be ashamed.

 

Uhm, no...

 

If my friend or somebody i knda know gets a haircut or peircing something that looks gay I'll call it gay :lol:

 

More as a joke though.

 

 

 

But seriously,

 

Get over the fact that gay is used as an insult!

God, you're such a flamer.

 

 

 

That better?

Sure.

Just wait until you're 18.

 

 

 

And do what you want! It kind of goes both ways..:

 

 

 

If you're only considering getting your nose pierced because your friends are telling you to, I wouldn't suggest doing it. Any form of body modification should be based solely on your opinion. You shouldn't base what piercing/tattoo you get on what other's will think of it. I recently got my lip pierced, and I went through the whole "Well, everyone seems to get the left side of their lip pierced... I should too..." even though I have always wanted to get the right side pierced. I eventually threw all that nonsense out the door, and got the right side pierced like I wanted it done.

 

 

 

As far as my tattoos, I don't ask people what they think about the tattoos I'm planning on getting. They're free to comment on the ones I have already, but they don't factor in to my decision-making process.

 

 

 

At the same time, don't not get it pierced, just because people are telling you it looks "lame" or "gay." They can shove off if they don't like it, and it's pretty clear that anyone who thinks a nose piercing is "gay" is pretty immature.

 

 

 

Try having a serious talk with your parents. Don't try to rebel and force them to give in to what you want.

 

 

 

Best of luck!

This is why I disagree with vegetarianism. It can be just as cruel.

Permanent additions and subtractions to your body are not legally your choice until your 18 for a reason.

 

 

 

Scientific studies show that the amount of melanine (the protein lipid that covers the nerve tail connecting the two sets of nuclei that transmit messages and thought) and gray-matter in the brain is a very strong factor in proper, logical and intelligent decision making, and, to be honest, people under the age of 18 (up to 30, actually,) don't have it developed all the way. It's perfectly logical for your parents to deny you the right to pierce your nose. Ears are different, in my opinion, but a nose piercing is a major addition to your body, permanent as well.

 

 

 

Young people (and I do include myself in that category) don't understand the world as well as they think. Trust me, unless you want to go 'starving artist' you won't be allowed to enjoy that pierced nose for very long anyway.

 

 

 

And you'll like like a douchebag, but that's my opinion and you shouldn't base any decisions on that.

That seems a bit silly to me... While I agree that it's obvious that you gain maturity in logic and decision-making skills as you grow up, I hardly think it has anything to do with being 18 or not... If it was the day before your 18th birthday, you're saying that you don't have the logic or abilities to make a sane decision to get a piercing. But... 24 hours later, when you've officially turned 18, you magically gain all this logic?

 

 

 

And I don't see how one type of piercing is any different than another. Ear piercings are no less "permanent" than nose piercings. You can take both out at any time in your life.

 

 

 

And it's pretty unfair to say that anyone with a pierced nose is forced to have the life of a "starving artist." Once the piercing heals, you can take the jewelry out during the day, and take up any career you'd like.

Well, Serpent, you'll note that I did say that melanine actually peaks at 30. But 18 is the societal age in which your parents say, 'hell, he's got enough, let's see how he does' and kicks you out the door.

 

 

 

And while you can take it out at any time, there will always be a hole in your nose, and that's not really a societal norm. If the ring is what I think it is (few cm's in thickness) then even taking it out after wearing it for an extended period will leave the cartilage of your nose rather bulbous and distended.

 

 

 

I'm just saying, you don't see successful people with face jewelry. (Steve Jobs, anyone?)
