Question

i wnt to get my belly button pierced but they say im not responsible to get it done!! how can i prove them wrong???? help i need you suggestions!!

Answer 1

its your parents. they said NO so live with it. if you want one wait till you are 18

Answer 2

The best way you can "prove" anything is be DOING and not talking about it..As long as you are in your parents house then it is their rules..Sounds to me like they just don't want you to do this..And that was the best excuse they could come up with....All you can do really is the BEST you can to keep your grades up and show your parents respect by doing what is asked of you and maybe even a bit more!...You know what will impress them..Keep trying and I am sure they will come around eventually or you will turn 18 and can go get one if you still want it...Just remember it is permanent and your belly button does stretch out when you have a baby.....So if you are going to want children someday.....Your belly button ring might not look too good any more..

Answer 3

Im a person with piercings and tattoos - I can see that one day my daughter will want them (she is only 4 now) but Im not sure I could say no as I have them. There must be a reason your parents think your not responsible enough - is there a reason for them to give you this response? Piercings are not as simple as having a needle shoved through your skin you then have to take around 6-8 weeks (in the case of navel piercing) carefully looking after it - you have to let it heal while remaining an open hole - you risk infections and if not done correctly you also risk it growing out (this is common in the navel piercing wether done correctly or not but the risk is higher if incorrect jewellery is used or incorrect depth etc) a plus to the navel piercing is that it can be hidden when ever you want to hide it. Just dont do anything stupid like getting it done on the cheap behind your parents back its really not worth it. I would hope that my daughter will come to me and talk to me about having any piercing done. Talk to your parents - ask them why they think you are not responsible enough - this is the best plan to open the communications up about this. You dont say your age but another option is to wait till your old enough to have it done without needing your parents consent. Good luck with it!

Answer 4

How old are you?

why do you want this done?

your reason for wanting the procedure may be the reason your parents don't want you to have it.

most people who do this do it to attract the sexual attention of boys, so why will your life be so bad if it doesn't happen??

it is not going to make you a better person, perhaps you should concentrate on grades, being responsible and mature in your actions and speakings, and less worried about attracting guys. When you are 18 you can pierce whatever you want.... so what's the big deal anyway? just want to be right and your parents wrong? they are not holding you back from anything beneficial.

this is the most infected site for any piercings and most people i know that have done this, got the bellybutton ring caught on something and ripped out one time, then they just didn't put it back because it tore their skin, or hurt so bad they did not want to take the chance of it happening again.

Answer 5

I wanted to get my belly button pierced when I was younger but my Mom wouldn't let me. My friend and I tried to pierce it ourselves...big mistake. I finally had it done when I was 18 and I had to take out a month later for emergency surgery and couldn't put it back in so it was $60 down the drain plus the extra $30 for other jewelry to put in after the original healed. Why not rebel and not get one. Almost everyone has one.

Answer 6

Yea, judging by the other answers, it's a pretty stupid thing to want to do hun. I'm only 15, but still. Unless you're planning on wearing shirts that show ur belly button for the rest of your life [which I know you won't] then I advise you to not get one. It gives off the wrong idea to guys anyway [unless that's what you want]. Seriously, whenever I see someone with a belly button ring, I think 'easy'. Please jst be careful in whatever you do.

Answer 7

1) How old are you? If you're 17 then you can wait to be 18 and do it yourself. If you're 16 and under, consider your parents.

2) You're not going to get anywhere with the attitude of, "But I am responsible! See!" and then when you don't get your way "But mooooooooooom! You're SO unfair!"

3) Basically, show them you are responsible. Work for the money to buy it, including the stud, and create a report detailing why you would like the piercing. Don't including things like "it's cool, other kids have it, it looks nice."

4) Because it's for cosmetic reasons, you're going to have trouble convincing your parents. Honestly, the only thing you can do is act like an adult, gather the money before hand, and talk to them like a mature adult. No hissy fits!

Answer 8

You haven't stated your age or living agreement with your parents. If you live under their roof, it's going to be their rules. If and when you are out on your own, then you can make the decision about what to do about your body. Better to wait for a while than to cause a rift in your relationship with them. Your belly button will still be there when you are your own person!

Answer 9

As long as you live under your parent's roof - you do what they say. Once you're out on your own - then do what ever you want. I have a daughter-in-law who had her belly button pierced and now she's mad at herself for doing it because it catches on everything she wears and some clothing actually pull on it.
I look at it this way - if God had intended a person to put holes in their bodies - you would have been born that way.

Answer 10

The fact that you want to get your belly button pierced proves that you aren't responsible enough to make the decision.

Answer 11

i was exactly like you at 1 time. My parents wouldnt let me get mine periced either. The day that i turned 18 i didnt care what they said and i went and got mine done. worst thing ever and biggest waste of like 70 bucks. It was infected for like the first month, it hurt for a long time and there was so much care for it. Now what do i got, it got a peicing with an ugly hole thru my stomach that wont go away. It looks nice but no body ever sees it, sweetie there really is no point to them. Please take it from my experience. And i am not an old mom or grandma, i just recently turned 19.
