It has to be at least 6 weeks. When I first got my ears pierced, they got infected so I had to take them out...and this was already like a week and a half. And after I took it out, in like five minutes or so, it was already closed and healing up.
So if you take it out in a few hours, its definitely going to close up.
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.
