should I let my 14 year old step daughter get her belly pierced for her 15th birthday?

Answer 1

no way>>>>>>>>>>>>

Answer 2

Sure, and a few reasons are because when you get a piercing before you turn 18 it is much cooler. I am 21 and my tongue ring was a lot cooler when I was younger, also because of the place she is choosing to pierced I know you have concerns being a mother you want the best and don't want your daughter to have regrets well it is her belly button and having a hole in her belly should not effect her getting a job or anything compared to if she was going to Peirce her face. And last but not least it is a new day and age and a lot of parents are letting there children get piercings. Teenagers are a lot more responsible and grown up then they were 20 or 30 years ago. I say you do it but use it as leverage tell her she has to get good grades or something. My mom made me do yard work for a month. That way she new I really wanted it.

Answer 3

If you and your family see nothing wrong with it, then go ahead and let her get it. These days, kids can go out and get it themselves with fake i.d's and everything else, when they want it really bad and their parents won't take them. There are all types of little bootleg/illegal shops that will do it for her, no matter her age, and they may not be as sanitary as the real shops, and anything could happen. So if you and her father think its ok, yes, you should take her. And just because a person has a belly button ring doesn't mean that they will dress or act in a sexy or vulgar way either. I had a friend who got hers done in high school when she was only 16 years old, at a bootleg shop, against her mother's wishes. She hid it from her mom for about a week, until it became extremely infected and would not stop bleeding. She tried to take it out, but it would not come out. Eventually, she had to tell her mom, and had to go to the doctor for them to take the ring out, (which hurted alot more), and treat it. WELL GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

I have a 17 year old. This was my experience. She wanted hers done and I said NO. She begged, pleaded, and threw guilt trips. I stuck to my guns and didn't let her. I figured for the piercing, she would have to go to a special piercing or tattoo shop and she would have to be over 18 to get it. I called around and was right. So I figured I was safe and so was she. WRONG WRONG WRONG! She had a friend do it for her, it got infected, and was a horrible experience for her. It turned green and oozed puss for weeks. I had to take her to a Dr for meds. After it healed and about a year later she wanted it done again. I took her to get it done professionally. It was a HUGE relief and a better experience. She is happy with it and I am happy because it is all better now. If I were you, I would do it and just make sure she cleans it constantly to avoid infection. It is different than the ears. It gets dirty and is rubbed and pulled by jeans and sweaters. Good Luck and I hope everything works out for you.

Answer 5

if i were u i would let the real mom or dad make that decision. it shouldnt br u say yes and they object, if they r ok with it then make sure u sit and tell her all the reponsibilities, if she understands i dont think their should be a problem. if u dont let her she will rebel and do something to hurt u that might be even worse than a belly piercing. u know how teenagers r . they think their world is gone and they want revenge for every thing,
make some rules if she does get it pierced it doesnt mean she can wear short short tops to show it off etc..
best of luck

Answer 6

If the above description is authentic then it i imagine certain, one hundred%. i might want to comprehend no longer letting an Immature female get her navel pierced, yet when your daughter is reaching in a large number of issues then why do not you? what's the tremendous situation? i might want to also say no in case you knew for a undeniable actuality that she might want to push the barriers, yet when your daughter is mature and would not attempt this then certain! I extremely have 2 babies of my personal, one being a 11 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old female. My daughter needs her abdomen finished now yet for sure i might want to assert no! that's way too youthful! yet 15, that's a strong age. no longer to old, no longer to youthful. you do not elect to grant her each and every thing she asks for, yet as you're saying contained in the outline that she would not ask for much it will be a outstanding take care of, distinctly if she is getting some thing in go back for all perplexing artwork.

Answer 7

Mine did for either my 15th or 16th birthday, I don't remember. But I turned out fine, didn't act like a whore, dance on poles, etc etc. But I did good in school and never got into any trouble, so she said as long as I was doing those things then might as well let me get piercings.

Answer 8

Look man don't let her do any degrading things to her body because that just means she doesn't respect herself, just say no man, tell her if she wants then she can do it when she is 18 and if she pays for it, that way your not held responsible if she gets infected, i know your going to want to stay on her good side but trust me this is good and if she gets it when she turns 18, trust me she will learn her lesson when she reaches 25 and probably has kids of her own and works in a office.

Answer 9

I'm not sure why this is up to you, as her step parent - I would think that this would be a decision for her Mother and Father - with that said, I can apprecciate that there are all sorts of circumstances out there that would make you responsible for decision like this.

My suggestion - get her to research the idea - find out EVERYTHING about the procedure including possible worst case scenarios. (Make sure she sees lots of graphic photos with infections and stuff) It could be that she would beocme so disgusted or fearful about what might happen, or the procedure itself, that she will change her mind.

Answer 10

What does her father think of it? Also, is her biological mother still around? I would check to see what she thinks before making any descions if that's possible for you to do. If it were my daughter, I'd tell her to wait until age 17 or 18 though (preferably 18)... 15 seems young to me. I know ltos of people do it these days, but that doesn't automatically make it okay. Go with your gut feelings.

Answer 11

I got mine done when I was 16, and it was no big deal. I still like it.

One thing I didn't know though, is that the hole doesn't completely close if you decide to take out your belly button ring. If she does decide she made a mistake getting it done, she'll have a little scar there forever... what are her reasons for wanting to have it done?
