Invest in a larger ball to go on the end of the post. Don't worry. Even though they tell you not to change it for a while it's okay.
I had the same issue and I had to change it. One of my friends also had the same issue but it ended up pulling all the way through.
Get a bigger ball for the end of it. If you don't want to change it yourself, go back to where you got it pierced and ask them to change it for you, they'll do it.
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.
