Is 13 too younge for a belly ring?

I don't think most teens are going to come ask parents about that. IMO, it's up to the parents to bring that up...

That's exactly what I was saying earlier in this thread. :thumbsup:

I'd let her do it. Telling her she can't have it will only make her want it more. Just don't let her dress like a skank ho.

she dresses respectful and no way would we allow skank clothes.

so WHY DOES SHE WANT A BELLY RING?

No, don't pay attention to the uber conservatives of ATOT. You'll go a lot further being the "cool" dad than the mean dad.

More important than a belly button ring is BIRTH CONTROL. In a year or two, you and your wife should start asking her every month if she wants to start on the pill. That's responsible parenting.

that's terrible parenting, quite frankly. by doing that, no only are they screwing with her body (hooray for hormones), but they're essentially condoning sexual activity at such a young age. being a good parent != being a cool parent all the time... sometimes being a good parent means being the one kids hate - for their own good, whether they know it or not (more likely the latter)

Sexual activity (even promiscuity) is 100% better than a daughter pregnant by the one guy she ever slept with.

I would also urge that she use condoms, and supply them to counter the risk of STDs.

Again, this is advice for down the road, when she's 14 or 15. Kids start having sex around that age these days.

that's true, but at that age, kids are unable to accept the responsbilities and consequences of sexual activity, and therefore, should not be having it, PERIOD!

around my home - the daycare at every public HS in the tricounty area is filled to maximum capacity. WTF??? it's relatively rural (southern maryland). that's absolutely outrageous.

1) kids are having children of their own before 18, chances of going to college go down because they need to get a job ASAP to support children
2) valauble tax dollars are being spent supporting children whose parents cannot possibly support them by themselves.

I agree, but it's not like you can force her onto it.

You can present the offer, but it's ultimately up to her to feel comfortable enough with actually coming to you and asking for it afterwards.

Fixed.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Um, does this have to be asked?

 

[Kalvin00]

Meh. Coming from a teenager, honestly, these days, when it comes to things like alcohol and sex....its pretty unlikely for a kid to listen to their parents. Peer pressure is a bitch.

 

[txrandom]

Wait till she is 15 or 16.

 

[waggy]

no i wouldnt let my daughter get one.

i agree with mosh on this.

If she wants a nipple ring, it's because she wants a nipple ring, not because she had a belly button ring. The belly button ring won't change whether she wants a nipple ring in a year. Belly button rings are not "gateway rings."

Umm, no one said that it was a gateway ring, but I can guess that most who start doing piercings dont jump from 0 to 60, they start with earrings, then belly rings, then maybe a lip, or tongue stud, and then nipples and then clit?

i really dont know, but I wouldnt say there are no correlations in order

So he should not even try to have any influence on how his daughter grows up? Just let her go free, she is 13, she knows what she's doing...

 

[n yusef]

If she gets it, she will show it off. Do you want your daughter wearing skanky belly shirts?

 

[Sphexi]

Earrings have been around for hundreds of years, nothing new there. Belly rings, nipple rings, tongue rings, those have really only been popular the last few decades, and only really because of their sexual basings.

What would be the point of a belly ring if she didn't show it off? Obviously she'd have to start wearing shorter pants/shirts so people could see it, and it draws people's (guys) attention to that general area of her body.

Do you REALLY want scores and scores of guys ranging from the age of 12 to infinity to be looking at your daughter's midsection and/or crotch?

Agree. No 13 year old has even a clue about life in general. If she gets a belly button ring, then she's going to show it to everyone. They are NOT like ear rings.
If lots of her friends have them, then that's even more reason to forbid her getting one.

A belly button is not a reproductive organ. How many girls have you scared off trying to put it there?!

 

[amol]

No. Her body is still your property until she's 18.

 

[imported_goku]

When I was in middle school, girls had belly rings, wasn't a big deal. Don't see why it's a big deal now, the mentality of keep away making one want it more is more truer than you could ever imagine. It's when you have easy access to it is where you become disinterested in, this applies to things from video cards to women. If a woman is easy access, there is no desire, same with a girl wanting a guy, if he is easily available, she don't want him.

If the girl can get the belly ring easily, she may realize she won't want one, but even if she does, it's no big deal.

Buahahahahaaaa! :laugh:

"Oh ******, how come it won't fit? Whats going on? Here, let me get some lube..."
"Uh, what are you doing?"
"My **** won't fit in! Are you a virgin"
"What are you stupid, of course it won't fit in, that my belly button you freak!"
(She storms out and slams the door)

 

[eakers]

I'd let her have it as long as she understood how much work it would be to take care of.

 

[HamSupLo]

there's nothing sexual about a belly button ring, you pervs should stop projecting your deviants thoughts on the OP's 13 yo daughter!
