Help me with convincing my mother please...?
So, I want to get a nose piercing for my senior year. My mom has always had this thing with piercings where she says, "You don't need another hole in your head to have brains leak out." Uh, no, I'm not joking. I keep telling her that a hole in my ear or nose is not going to make brain leak out...But, she is determined to convince me so. She doesn't understand that I am not 5 anymore, and I don't believe that crap. So, how can I convince her to let me get just a tiny stud..not like, a huge ring...but anyway, does anyone have tips for me?

Maybe show her a few examples of what you would like to get. Maybe sit down, and talk to her seriously. Parents tend not to take us seriously, especially when we're in our early or mid teens, as they think we make decisions on impulse, and don't think about it beforehand. If you take the time to sit her down and talk seriously and make your point, she will realize you are serious about it and would like her to listen to your point. If she has her own point to make, let her. She has a right for her own opinion and reasons. Don't let this turn into an unnecessary argument, because this can definitely be resolved in a calm, adult way. :) If you want to talk to her seriously, your mom should not turn you away if she cares about you!

First of all how open of a relationshsip do you have with your mom? If she is someone you talk to about things going on in your life then she should understand. Explain to her that this is something you want to do for yourself and not anybody else. Tell her you understand her concerns and that it is prob something she wouldn't choose to do but you are not her. Let her know you are your own person and as you respect her you would hope she would respect the decisions you make whether she feels they are wrong or right. Going behind her back does not make for an open and honest relationship with her nor would it help with trust which is an important factor. Good Luck and by the way I have a nose piercing and if you do it you will LOVE it!

How old are you 17? 18? Say something like: "I'm almost an adult and I need to start making decisions for myself" Or something like that. And a little stud is adorable and you can hid it really easily, my friend has one and she need to put something in it for sports and I have no idea what it's called but if you do do it behind your mother's back then you can always hid it before you get home or something.
Hope this helped.

I do not rather trust your considering - I in my opinion do not suppose material do any of the matters you point out. Disposables are a ways awesome in protective the child's dermis from soil and wetness, they common out to the identical fee while you take into account you'll escape with a child urinating in them greater than as soon as and you don't ought to have additional wash cycles and detergents. Environment you'll normally aid that as material being extra landfill pleasant however the vigor and chemecals spent to scrub and sanitize the fabric is virtually simply as damaging. HOWEVER< This isn't rather approximately that perception. If you MIL does no longer recognize your needs over diapers and you're optimistic that's the way in which you wish to move, then you definitely ought to worried your husband and demand to get your manner now or you'll have one million battles like this over 1000 exclusive matters concerning your baby. You are fully proper in pronouncing it's your baby and your option. You readily ought to drive the dilemma and demand on material handiest and inform her if the child comes dwelling in disposable, you'll no longer permit her to babysit.

How old are you? When I turned 16 I went and got my lip pierced by myself with my own money and when she told me to take it out I basically asked her to give it a chance and try to get used to it. You could also research it and show her your findings which will prove that your brains will not leak out.
