[quote=Anonymous]My DD begged to get one 18 months ago (she was 17) and I reluctantly let her do it since I felt that she was going to do it on her own when she was 18 anyway...I decided it wasn't something to really fight over. I also appreciated the fact that she came to me and asked rather than doing it on her own with a friend which could have caused an infection, etc. She knew it should be done by a professional with the right equipment and sanitary. At the same time she knew how I felt about it and we agreed that if I really hated it she had to agree to seriously consider taking it out. She was (and is!) a great kid - responsible, respectful, honest and hardworking. I can't say that I loved it, but it wasn't so bad. And, you know what....? She ended up taking it out on her own within 9 months. She hated it, found it uncomfortable and annoying.

OP - if your kid is responsible in all other ways then let her have this one little "rebellion". If she's anything like my DD she will take it out quicker than you think. Sometimes our kids who are so responsible need to stretch their world and live a little....even if piercings are not my favorite thing (don't talk to me about tattoos!) I do believe there are much worse things that our kids could be getting involved with these days![/quote]
