How far will you let your teen go? I dissagree w/a male friend that has a 16 yr old son. He gives him no physical freedom w/his body. My son is 13 and he has had an earring (since 3.) He has kinda longer blonde hair w/some curls around the face. He's skinny and wear baggy jeans. What is your limit on how far you will let your kids go w/style? I always said that if dieing his hair or an earring is the worst thing my kid does to show his independence then thats ok w/me. Hair you can change-earring can come out. (Tatoo-no! thats permanent) My friend won't even let his "Big" son pick his haircut, no baggy jeans ya know the lil silver studs you pin into your hat? NO!WAY! etc..and they are not like a high class family or anything. I just think if you try to controll every lil aspect of their lives they will rebell later. They have to have some freedom to chose, Am I right? So how far do you let your kids choices go?

I think each parent has to make those decisions regarding their children themselves, and it is no one's place to question those decisions. What is right for one family may not be for another. I think some parents see hair color and earrings as the first steps into a rebellion, or a lifestyle that they don't approve of. Basically, as long as children are living under a parent's roof, and under a parent's care, then they are bound to live by the parent's rules, like them or not. If you don't like them, then when the child is 18, he/she can move out of his/her parent's home, and support him/herself.

women human beings are consistently comparing themselves to others round them, both or not it is the media or purely yet another lady. in case you may want to stop the comparing and settle on your body and paintings with what your given. perhaps you'd be content cloth. locate how you may income from different lady varieties as I absolutely have.
