I am terrified of needles but it doesn't hurt one bit :) I got my belly button pierced at 14, you can ask for extra numbing spray but I couldnt feel a thing! It is over in a matter of seconds. Make sure the place you go to looks clean and you see the needle come out from new packaging!
Good luck! More.
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.
