I’m in my 30’s now and never gotten my ears pierced. I remember begging my mom to get them pierced at 16 so I can be normal. I grew up super insanely strict. After I was grown, I never saw a reason why to pierce them and it kind of reminds me of where I came from. I still don’t understand why parents don’t allow girls to get their ears pierced.
I felt like this in Jr. High. I was a major loser in Jr. High and even a loser in high school. I wasn’t able to get a boyfriend until I was in college.
LOL, where I was growing up, braces were a status symbol. All the rich kids had them.
