my 15 yr old daughter wants her nose pierced?

Question

Is this a good age or is she too young?
She is a very good girl never is in any trouble doesn't wear the black clothing or look anything like a gangbanger

Will she be an outcast or will she be accepted?

I think a small diamond or a gold stud would look nice but do you think she is too yount Tell me what all ya'll think ok

Answer 1

First of all you are teaching your daughter to "want to be accepted" or whatever, I'm 25 years old I remember the kids who felt the "NEED" to be accepted, and ummm yeah things teenagers do to be "accepted" can get ugly. What you need to be teaching her is to be herself. She will in turn find people that will accept her for WHO she is not what she does, she may know this better than you actually. She is trying to set herself apart and be an individual, I would encourage that. The girls that I knew back in high school that were really cool down to earth, didn't care what other people thought about them, and that in itself is cool!

So to answer your question, you are her parent if you are sure that's what she wants and not what other people want her to do, than you know what decision to make. My girlfriend is 22 and her nose is pierced, she is not goth or anything, but if she were that's not so bad either really, I love her for who she is inside not what she looks like (although she is freaking hot) people are who they are you can't stop that!

Oh and from a guy's prospective, umm yeah the nose ring is sexy!

Answer 2

Explain to her that it's not 'doing something different' is some of her friends have done it, it's hardly going to make her unique and special. It will give a bad impression on her teachers and any new peers and if she's moving to a new school it's a bad idea to get a piercing just before going in. If a teacher sees you have a nose peircing at fourteen before knowing you on a personal level they're gunna see you as an attention seeking brat that gets what they want, especially if your daughter is particularly vocal. The other issue is getting it before the school starts doesn't allow much time for healing. If that piercing gets a sore or infected, she's hardly going to make a good impression on her new peers either. There is also the factor, as you have mentioned about regret. But that's not something she's going to understand until she makes a mistake with the piercing, instead you need to point out that at this point in time it's a bad decision to get a visible piercing for the sake of appearances and reputation.

Answer 3

she could be doing a lot worse things at 15, if she is a good girl- why not?
Something dainty and tasteful. And if its causing a problem, just make her take it out.
She wont be an outcast?! I can imagine she is a cute girl and if so she can get away with anything. Now if shes asking for a tattoo or something, thats another story

- AND NO you WONT have a big hole in your nose for the rest of your life- I had a small nose piercing in for 2 years and took it out a year ago- and you cant even tell anything was there- it completely closed! - Thats like saying " oh no! youre gonna have holes in you ears for the rest of your life!"

Answer 4

I think the least of your worries should be whether or not she will be an outcast or be accepted.
With that said I don't think there is anything wrong with a small stud. However you should call her school first and see if she is allowed to wear it, go with her to the piercing studio (make sure it is very sanitary) and then help her pick out a nice stud for her cute nose. :o)
Good Luck!

Answer 5

Your intentions are good but at 15 thats way too young. I wanted one at that age and I just got mine last week and im 23. She may change her mind a hundred times from now until she is 18. Make her wait.

My mothers rule was no piercings on the face. Ears only until I was a senior. Same with tattoos. And of course I pissed and moaned about it then but looking back now im glad I waited to get my ink and my nose pierced.

If I didnt I would have been a girl with her tounge and eyebrow pierced adn a dragon tatoo. Eww

Answer 6

I think piercings are great, I got my first when I was 15, (now I'm 23) BUT you will always have a mark after getting a nose piercing so I think 15 is too young to decided whether you want that scar for the rest of your life. I say at least wait a year, to let her get the peircing a lot of things can change when your that age. (Even though SHE is a good girl there are people ou there who are not, the piercing will make her look older to some people/guys that may want to take advantage of her.)

Answer 7

really i think its OK if shes a good girl respects your home and dose good in school cut her a break let her do it a piercing always comes out i had one when i turn 17 and parents had a freak attack they made a big deal then forgot about it soon enough i got tierd of having it about 1year later i took it out my hole closed and you would never know i had it unless you seen it its not like its a tattoo that's a hole different ball game but a piercing give the girl a brake and let her do it you'll see shell be over having it to and it will show her that mom isn't a old mean lady she can be cool and hip as long as i play by her rules and make it a statement to her let her know I'm only going to let you because your a good girl and you do what your supposed to so that's your reward it will help you get the point across and get you guys closer i am 28 and i have 4 kids i had my oldest when i was 16 yes 16 and if my parents wouldn't have been so old fashion i wouldn't have wanted to grow up so fast and get out of the house ...........I'm trying now to be not only a mother but a best friend to my kids and so far thank god its working there great i love them ...........................good luck ..............

Answer 8

15 is old enough, a small stud would be cute, if she doesn't like it later she can always take it out, she will not be an outcast, everyone loves to see new piercings, I hope you know how painful it's going to be though, my friend had hers done 4 months ago and she still can't turn it without crying. I heard it was more painful then getting your tongue pierced, just letting you know, well good luck with your decision

Answer 9

Nose rings are just as normal as pierced ears in some cultures. If it's tasteful (like a small diamond/gold stud) I see nothing wrong with it. It's her body. If she ends up not liking it, she can always take it out. I think piercings, in moderation, look really nice.

Answer 10

sure, what's the harm? if she is a good kid, doing well in school, then i really don't see a problem. reward her for her good behavior by letting her do things she wants. it will seem like a big deal and really cool to her, and it''s totally harmless.

and i really wouldn't worry about her being an outcast or accepted.. the popular kids are usually just as screwed up as anyone else... and people that i knew as "outcasts" in high school are the ones that really have personality and character now, did something in
life, made a mark.
