When i was 7 my StepMum made me get my ear ridge pierced. Now everyone calls me a **** becasue they know I was only 7. She also made me have my bellybutton pierced when I was 10. I don't mind them, but I want to be normal. Why did she make me get them, and so early. In fact most of my piercings were because of her. I had my nose done when I was 11, and my toungue done when I was 13. I've grown up with them so I never really cared, but now I do. The teachers have problems with them too, why couldn't I just be normal?

It sounds like your the adult and she is the child.
I would say that what she did constitutes assault.

You are normal. Everyone is different and that is normal. You're finding out who you are and that's what you're supposed to do at your age. You don't like piercings. Take them out. If she's forcing you to get them then talk to her and your dad about it.
And don't worry about what everyone else is saying. You know who you are. If small minded people are judging you big deal. Who really cares what a moron says anyway? If you blend in with the crowd you're just another sheep. Who ever remembers the person that was just like everyone else?
Just make sure this change is for you.

She probably wasn't trying to punish or harm you in anyway by the piercings. It can be intimidating becoming a step mom especially if she didn't have any children herself when she got married. I would say most likely she wanted to impress you with her "hipness" and was trying to get you to like her by allowing you to do things most moms wouldn't. However now that your older you have total control over the piercing you have. Take out the ones that you don't like and keep the ones you do.

What did your dad say? Your stepmum is crazy. I would never allow my kids to get anything pierced until they are old enough to take care of them.

I think your stepmum has o'erstepped the boundaries of parenting. Remove all your piercings (one at a time) and learn to love your body without ornamentation.

I would never have forced my child to have anything pierced. It should have been your decision to make. Where was your other parent? This doesnt make you abnormal but I cant say the same about your stepmum.

If you like the jewelry keep it, but I am concerned that your stepmom was able to do this without consulting your father. Have you talked to her about why she was so insistent that you have these piercings? Also if you don't like them, take them out. If you decide later you want to have them again you can always have the areas re-pierced.

Are you in America? I am a stepmom, and here there is NO WAY I could take one of my stepsons to have a piercing done as I am not a legal guardian.
Furthermore.......why not just take them out? No one is forcing you to wear them are they? Just take the rings out and let them close up

Sounds like your step mom has issues!!!! Talk about being dominant. How does your Mom feel about the things she has forced you to do and does your Dad have no say at all? I guess she thinks it's cool, which it is when its your choice and you are the right age to make that choice.

well i thats a bit peculiar, i mean does she have piercing herself?
if yes then she probably thought she would be a cool mum etc.
but i mean if you really dont like you let them close up, and piercing doesnt make you un normal trust me.

I think you should talk to her and ask her if you could take them out. If she says yes then that's great but if she says no stand up for your body, stand up for you! Tell her that it's your body and you should be able to do what you like with it. Good luck xx
