What Would People Think About A Lip Piercing?

I'm 12 and my birthday was today so I asked my mom for a lip piercing. She said she would consider it since I have been helping around the house and such.

I just wanted to ask a couple questions about this topic.

First off, what would my teachers/principal/coaches think?

I am a good kid, my grades are extremely high, the teachers like me, I just hope that a lip ring doesn't effect their opinion on me.

Would people think I'm "trashy"?

I'm not "trashy". I'm far from it & I would not like people thinking I am.

Can my teachers/principal tell me to take it out?

This is what I'm worried about most. I don't want to go to school & the teachers force me to take my lip ring out.

I'm planning on wearing a clear lip ring, but as the time goes, I will start to wear different jewelery.

So, thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Oh, and if you don't have anything nice to say, please don't say it at all.

Yes, I know this will leave scars & I might regret it in the future, but piercings fascinate me & I am planning to get much more.

Thank you :)

    From my experience, getting a lip piercing won't effect the way people think of you at all, most people will just be like "Whoaaaa!" And unless people think your trashy now then they won't think your trashy when you get your lip pierced. Public schools can't tell you to take it out. None of my teachers even noticed when i got my snakebites, but then again i'm not exactly the best student sooo im not really sure... But go for it cause I bet most of your friends will think its cool and they;re fun to have! :D

    Some people might have their opinion about you getting your lip pierced because you would have to keep it in for a certain amount of time so that it doesnt close and you would have to get it re pierced so either way people are going to find out. But your young now is the time for you to find your own look and to not care what people think about you. Just think are they the ones walking around with a pierced lip? No you are so why do they care so much about it if its not effecting them what so ever. It'll look nice on you if you have confidence in yourself. Your confidence will make other people believe that you look great! Confidence is everything.

    Public schools cAnt make you take it out. Private schools can do what they want to. Personally, no offense, I think it's trashy on some people, other people it works. Please don't get it infected, that looks just flat out nasty when it's infected, and then you look trashy. But if you keep it clean and don't wear anything too crazy. I think you will be fine.

    I just got my lip pierced and it looks awesome on me! :D And who cares what other people think? If you really want it and you think it'll look good on you, go for it! I personally think it's sexy rather than trashy, lol. Just realize that in the future it'll make it harder to get a job. I ran into that problem. :)

    I don't mean to be rude but I think it would look trashy on a twelve year old. Just sayin.
