Maybe then you need to start showing a bit of maturity and responsibilty instead of whine how "mommy" won't let you pierce your ears. Also, try to think of it this way: maybe she's looking out for your best. Sometimes piercing your ears isn't necessarily the best thing to do. You can get things like ear infections, etc. If you prefer, You can always be assertive and rebel, getting your ears done when your mom can't stop you!

Ear peircing is no big deal at all. I never cared about it till I was 15 and then I got it done just because my BF gave me earrings that I never really ended up wearing anyway. Besides there isn't really anything to be responsible about except like the first 2 weeks and if you cant keep your ears clean for 2 weeks then you have bigger issues than just not having your ears peirced. I always loose my earings so I buy cheap ones but they irritate my ears. Its just an all around loosing battle for me. I hardly ever wear earings and pretty much nobody notices so I don't really care.

First of all... i know you want them really bad, but just because your friends have them, that doesn't mean they are the best thing for you!
Have you really thought about it? Maybe what your mom is saying is true. Have you shown you are responsible?
If you think you are responsible... than you need to convince your mom. Prove that you can take care of your earrings. If you can find a way to prove it, then you probably are responsible enough. Good luck! And hang in there! =)

Well neither did my mom when I was younger but as soon as I turned 15 she said yes! So you can do whatever you can to make it seem like you are responsile and plus if you dont clean it you will get an infection but you can ask her for a chance and maybe she'll say yes make dinner, clean the house, anything or take her out to dinner! I hope she lets you! did you mean the first hole or the second? Second:She should cut you some slack! First: She is way in over her head!

Next time you ask her...try approaching her in a mature manner and asking if the two of you can have a discussion. Then sit down and explain to her that you want to show her that you are responsible enough to take care of them and ask if there is any way that you can do that.
Most of the time moms seem mean, but they're really just doing what they think is best. Prove that you can approach her and the issue maturely and responsibly and it might change her opinion on the matter.

Your mom probably knows you very well and she may not be ready to have to remind you about your ears being cleaned. You may feel that you are ready to get your ears pierced and you know yourself better than your mom. Just think; do you just want to be cool or do you really want to get your ears pierced? Tell your mom the answer and when she agrees with what you say (it may take a while) you can do what you think is the right thing.

okay i am going to try to help you out a little bit, now i want you to try to understand okay. maybe your mom thinks that are irresponsible about some things that are not considered small and she may want you to learn to deal with those things before you can get your ears pierced.i had the same problem although i was 8yrs old when i got mine done i still had that problem, my mom told me i was irresponsible and that is when i decide to prove her wrong and believe me if she thinks you proved to her you could be responsible she just might let you get your ears pierced.

Show her that you are responsible. Start taking better care of yourself, hygeine, eating, excercise, whatever you think will work. Even write down all the reasons you would be responsible enough - offer to pay for them, too, so she knows you will take extra care of something you paid for. I got my ears pierced when I was 2 years old and I took care of them with no help. She shouldn't be worried about you.

I know how upsetting that is. I had to beg my mom for years! I got my ears pierced last week for doing well in school. My advice: give your mom a reason let you get them pierced. And show her you are really responsible.

Your Mom knows you better than we do sweetie. Apparently your behavior in the past has caused her to feel as she does. My sister and I weren't allowed to get ours done until we turned 13, and Mom took us.
Perhaps if you talk to your mom, and ask her what you could do to show her that you can be responsible...if she gives you a task then do that to the best of your ability, as long as she sets you to it...then she may see that this really means a lot to you and you are willing to do what is needed to have it work out successfully...
Good luck!
