That is sort of wrong, but sort of.. rock on.
I dunno, I sort of have mixed feelings about it... personally I wouldn't pierce a child before 14/15 but hey, whatever tickles your pickle I guess... |

Classic example of culture dictating action in a microcosm and macrocosm.When is it right? When everyone else is doing it? When is it wrong? When no one does it?
I can't decide what's right for someone else's family unless there is some obvious abuse occuring. I can only decide what is right for me.

I agree with opheliaimmortal & piercedmama. Not only is that WAY too young (regardless of how "cool" it is) but I want to know who pierced him and why that person isn't in some seriously deep shit for doing it. I know here in VA it is ILLEGAL to pierce anyone under 16 even WITH parental consent. Some places it's illegal to pierce anyone under 18 even WITH parental consent. Yeah it's kick ass that the kid is into body mods and yeah it's wrong for public to make him take them out. *insert typical ranting about rebelion/it's my body/conforming/yada yada* My son is 5 and has "plans" for an aray of piercings & tattoos, but there is no way in fucking hell I would let him get any of it done before 14-15. Not because I'm mean/don't agree with it, but for two simple reasons.
1) No REPUTABLE shop would do it.
2) It's a major health risk!!! The body changes SOOOO much between 10 & 16 that pretty much anything he were to get would run a great risk of rejecting/migrating due to the rapid growth/changing of his body. Thus leaving him with nasty deformed scars.
I worry about the health of the children who's parents let them do this shit. And how absolutely disgusting the shops that these kids are getting taken to, to get these modifications done under 18. Edited by ASinfulStrange - March/23/2007 at 6:44pm |

Sort of funny to see how many old spirited conservative bigots you can find amongst young-looking members of what I thought was my community.
Those 20 y.o. people are so old that they probably can't even remember what they were thinking when they were 10 years old. Or maybe they have never been dreaming of mods at that age and only started at 17 to get those mainstream fucking belly piercing and kickass scratch tattoo from the first shitty parlor down the street to look as cool as the crappy TV stars for brainless children?
Don't worry, dear bigots. Your children will probably be soooo happy with their conservative education. You probably won't see them with piercings at ten, but chances are high that with such parents like you, they will smoke at 11, be alcooholic at 12, smoke weed at 13 and take cocaine at 14. Probably to forget about their - deeply stupid - parents.

A small child should not have any facial piercings. What the fuck is that mother smoking? She must be on crack. No way in hell is a 10 year old LITTLE BOY able to take care of a piercing. |

[QUOTE=Adam]
"This is primary school. Shaquille's there to learn, not cause trouble. As long as he covers it up, it shouldn't have anything to do with his education." [QUOTE] It shouldn't have anything to do with his education even if they're not covered.
10 is pretty young to have piercings, but if he's able to properly take care of them (he's had them for 2 years so he must take care of them) then maybe having piercings will end up making him even more responsible.
As for the school, I think it's fucked up, he's had them for 2 years so why are they just now making a big deal out of it?
