Please do not answer this unless you have had your cartilage pierced or know a lot about it.

1. Does it hurt? If so, how bad? (I don't really care, just wondering.)

2. Is it more likely (in your experience) to become infected or cause problems?

I'm thinking about getting my cartilage done because I think it looks adorable. But I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Thanks everyone!

What would you do if you had a 10 year old brother who acted like a brat toward you, but your parents wouldn't do anything about it? If he hit you, kicked you, provoked you and just had no respect for you in general? Ignoring is not an option

I'm a girl in my late teens. As I was walking the dog a week ago in a sort of secluded area, a group of about 4 guys ages 17/18 came up to me and started a conversation.

One of them seemed nice, but I heard another guy in the group say something about getting in trouble with the police several times. A few of them seemed.. I don't know... slightly sketchy. I gave them my name when they asked but lied and said my phone was broken, so I couldn't give them my number. They wanted me to "hang out" but I said I had to get home - they also asked me where I lived.

Then they approached me again a second time today. Am I being paranoid? Does it seem like they're just trying to be friendly or what?!

I'm looking for advice from people who are older and wiser than I am because I'm not sure if I'm overreacting. Thank you for your time!
