How would you convince your parents to let you get a piercing?

When I turned 16 I wanted my belly button pierced. I asked and asked and asked to get it done and nothing worked. Finally I came to my parents and sat them down (which I never do) and gave them a piece of paper with 30 reasons why I should be allowed to get it done."Ill eat properly so it doesn't look stupid, Ill never wear a short or cropped shirt to show it off.

If it gets infected ill take care of it. I'll pay for it all on my own. Ill buy all my own jewelry for it, I;ll wear one piece swim suits... etc the list goes on finally my dad took me to the tattoo place and I got it done.

Still have it 5 years later! When it came to my eyebrow ring I basically said "im 18 ... too bad..." :S lol but I still have that and I love it - they even said after... wow it suits you that looks nice. :).

I would say i'm getting older! You have to let me grow up and express myself. Once it heals since it bothers you so much I will take it out but i'm putting it back in.

When i'm not around you guys!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
