I remember one time I was sitting in a restaurant, and in walks a family of 4 (Dad, Mom, son & daughter). The daughter was about 12. She had her eyebrow pierced, her ears pierced multiple times, and her nose pierced. She also had a small chain running from a piercing in her left ear down to the piercing in her nose. Frankly, I don't know if I was more appalled with a girl that age with that appearance, or with the parents allowing it to happen to her.
I know that if I had been her father, when she asked to get it my answer would have been a hearty "HELLNO!!" If she had proceeded to get it anyways, she'd have been grounded til she was 25, and I would have been more than happy to remove the offending "jewelry" myself, possibly not too gently.
Sorry, I'm "old school", and a kid doesn't do squat that the parents don't want them to do, I don't care how much they ask, cry, whine or threaten, while they're under my roof. That's the rules. When you're 18, you can go do whatever you want, under your own roof. Don't like it? TOUGH.
