How to convince my mom

[teh 1337 pwner]

no and yes

i basically just need to convince her that ear piercings arent just for girls but for guys too she cant seem to understand that many guys have their ears pierced.

Just think for a while, you know your mom better than any of us.

I think in every situation there are words you can say to get almost any response. Find the words you need and how your going to say them.

Ya I know. My mom once took away my laptop and I seriously wanted it back. I was angry but I didn't talk to her. I just went into my room and thought very hard for a long time. I went out and did what I needed to do, say what I needed to say in the tone I needed to say it in. I got the laptop back the same day. My mom in the passed has taken away computers and games for months.

So find that magic sentence it's out there somewhere.

tell your mom "you know i think i like guys" getting a hole in you ears would be the last thing on your moms mind.

Alright, just tell her about you doing good in school, and you will strive to improve more. ( If you have good grades )

P.S. What part of LA do you live in? I live there as well!

i live in SoCal too w00t

after talking to her this morning again she kept bringing up "i raised a son not a girl" and various things like that and i was like "so your sexist?" and she admitted to being sexist ...wow lol

This may not work but its worth a shot.

Ask your mum nicely then get rejected. Start acting anti social for a couple of days, moaning etc.. and eventually your mum should give in.

where i live you need to be 14 and you dont need parental permission.. I would just get it done and when she confronts me about it, so something thats outrageous and un true, like ye well i found your weed
and she will get defensive forgetting about your piercing...

Don't know if your mom is very strict, strict, or normally lets you do stuff, but I would tell her that it is one ear, which is for guys and that it really isn't a big deal, it's not a problem but it's not a benefit so why does it bother you?

1,300th post, woot!

 

[teh 1337 pwner]

well gauges look bad if its only on one ear...kinda awkward

Tell her all your mates has got theres done and that if you don't get yours done, they bag you all the time.

Go to someone of a higher level to your mother(someone that she has to listen to) a.k.a your grandpa and ma (her mother and father ) .

and usually since your their grandson they will listen to you since they really care about you

 

[Cfrey]

Just be like...

You - "Mom can I get my ears pierced?"
Mom - "No!"
You - "Fine... I'll just get them pierced in places where its illegal for you to look"


That should work

Well in Australia i think you can get them at 16, too bad you don't live here.

Anyway, i'd use this method as it works for everything i've done so far:

Me: Hey mum can i get my ears pierced?
Mum: No
Me: Why not?
Mum: Ear piercings isn't for guys (just using the reason she gave you)
Me: I'm for equal rights
Mum: Well i'm your mum and i know whats good for you (or something idk)

Later on:

Mum: Can you help set the table?
Me: Am i worthy of that? Clearly i'm no equal to you since you've got your ears pierced and i'm not allowed

Then i continue like that, just asking if i'm allowed to. Occaisionally denying things i want, acting as though the decision is degrading my self esteem. Like:

Mum: Want an ice-cream?
Me: I would, but i don't think i'm worthy of one

Also, try to use statements in public to embarrass your mum so she'll get angry and let you get it. For example:

Person: Can you carry this for your mum?
Me: I'm not sure, i'm not treated equally like her so i'm not sure if i'd be allowed to carry that, i'd have to check.
Mum: *RAGING*

I don't know if this will help you, but when i wanted my ears pierced ( and stretched) i just said to my mum, I'm getting it done, whether you approve or not. i just want to discuss it with you first. she agreed to let me get my ears pierced as long as she could come as well, to check the place i was getting it done was clean, safe Etc.

once i got them done she accepted that they did look good.

after a year with little studs in, I started stretching
I went up to just over 1inch in each ear before having a blow out attempting to go bigger too soon.
I took them out after that.
I'm now at 18mm in my left ear, 10mm in my right
also have a cartilage piercing in my top right ear stretched to 10g. and my septum stretched to 10g aswell.

I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM.

Well just say to your mom..

Listen mom, i just want to get my ears pierced its no big deal, and its my life so let me do what i want.

TOO BAD IT'S NOT YOUR LIFE UNTIL YOU'RE 18





If you can't convince a guardian who won't agree to the terms when approached in a formal way. They won't do it. Ever.

 

[teh 1337 pwner]

idk ive tried everything i have
i guess im just gonna have to wait till im 18 to get it done

 

[Python]

Ask her the following:
- Whats the harm?
- Is their some other reason for you saying know?
- What would I need to do fto get them?
- Once I get them can you teach me how to maintain them?

These questions will get her thinking and maybe put a change of thought, appear like you want her help with them for when you get them, but once you get them just be like "forget it" shes not going to make you sew it up or make sure you don't wear the studs so they close again.

Good luck.
