[quote=Anonymous]Kids want to rebel against perceived societal norms and go outside what they view as mainstream. Once upon a time, when my elderly mother was a teen in the early 1950s, she was not allowed to have pierced ears. In her family and very socially stratified, prejudiced community in the southern U.S., pierced ears were for lower-class people -- i.e., poor people, immigrants, African-American people, "the other." It would have been just as transgressive for her to sneak out and get her ears pierced then as it would be for your 15 year old kid to sneak out and get a ring in their septum now. It's all cultural, OP and some PPs. Piercing has been around for thousands of years, and what's considered beautiful, acceptable, and even necessary is about societal norms and beliefs and about those who push back against those norms. https://www.racked.com/2016/5/10/11602034/ear-piercings-history-culture-claires[/quote]
