[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha I did the same thing at that age. My mom had said no, but I was a really good kid, never got in trouble, good grades, and I just really thought it was unfair and dumb and arbitrary and one night I just did it. Of course my mom noticed the next morning, I don’t know what I was thinking. She was furious and made me take them out and it further made the point that she was being ridiculous over something that I didn’t think was a big deal at all. She “let” me get them a year later and apologized.

I say just talk to her and then listen and reassess why your rules are your rules. Not that you can’t have tules, but you’ve got to pick your battles and get wins with a teen where you can if you want any credibility. [/quote]

I did the same thing when I was 15 too! I was an A-student who never got in trouble and just wanted to rebel a little. My mom did not make me take them out, but I could tell she wasn't pleased.

On another note, I got my belly button pierced a few years later and totally regret it now. I took it out while I was pregnant and now my belly button is sort of misshapen. Agree with telling your daughter where you draw the line.[/quote]
