I know plenty of teenagers that are actually capable of rational thought- we're not all stupid hormone crazy selfish teens ya know ;) .I wouldn't dream of piercing my own nose- with an earring no less! Ow!! Hopefully she wont end up with keloid scars- but at least she'll have learnt her lesson right? <em>Les Says: Nope - no scars - all safely grown over again, now... and she's a good kid, as are her friends. No booze, no drugs, no shop-lifting - and she's a LOT more rational than her mother is... ;-) She plays her music too loud (which I encourage), and still dreams of a tattoo (which I continue to DIScourage). I love her to death - I would be lost without her.</em> Oh puh-lease, don’t try and tar all us young people with the same brush!
