If your peircing is completely healed (it doesn't hurt to touch) id say just keep trying to get the eating through. Make sure your trying all angles because sometimes the peircing can seem as if its closed but your really just trying at the wrong angle. If it really can't go through, get it re peirced.
You should probaly go get them redone you dnt want 2 put a hole in your ear and it gets infected.
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.
