Based on your position as her parent, you alone can make the judgement call on whether you can trust her to have this done and remain a responsible teenager. She's in high school now, and the burden of responsibility is starting to sink in. All children are different, maturity levels fluctuate quite extremely between individual to individual at that age -- it's really down to you to answer that.

For what it's worth, I think piercing is more of a social taboo as opposed to any kind of corrupting influence. If you think a belly button piercing is anywhere close to being the reasons why this generation are "over sexualised" then I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

That said, as someone posted prior -- you might want to ensure she's aware of the medical aspects.

A belly button piercing is just wrong....I have yet to see one that doesn't make me wonder "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?Huh?"

Obv 13 is too young, so is 28, and anything over 29 is too old.

You'd let her get her ears pierced at 13 though? 

By the way, I have no opinion on this as I'm not a parent and therefore unable to have a valid opinion on anything to do with children or parenting.  Shame the same doesn't apply to the catholic church...

Her ears are pierced. I don't think that's a contradiction, he says pondering, I think body piercings are a different kettle of fish to ear piercing (which her mum agreed to and I chuntered about for a bit and gave in over, and she actually doesn't use!)

deffo a different kettle of fish.  Ear piercing (procedure, healing and aftercare) is a lot more straightforward, and doesn't carry the same risks as body piercings for someone that's still growing.

Yes i fully believe the onset of the premature sexulisation of children was brought about entirely because of belly button piercings. The earth is flat right?

glad this thread didn't go the same way as the fb discussion. the thing about digging up corpses was pretty sick

Yes. sorry about that.

I had no idea you had never heard the phrase "munting" before. But now you know, I guess you'll be able to refuse should anyone ever invite you to partake - imagine how embarressing that would have been if you didn't know and had turned up wearing the wrong attire or similar! So really, I did you a favour by introducing you to one of the sickest words of the urban dictionary.
