Old Enough

It's typical teen to get mad at your parents and not talk to them and think they are ruining your life. Well i know that my parents and I have had a share of fights and silence. I know that silence never does any good and doesn't really get me far. They either don't let you go somewhere,  hangout with someone, get a tattoo or a piercing your dying to get. Parents think that piercings are trashy and they never give a legit reason why you can't get it. Just a simple "No, because i said so" , they think we will just take that. I think that if we are able to pay for it and we are of age we should be able to get one. Piercings or Tattoos aren't meant to be attention getters or try to draw attention to yourself. They are a form of expressing yourself and your personality in an outward fashion. Many people choose to pierce a part of their body in order to either make a statement or add a unique mark to their appearance. What is so wrong with expressing who you are?

 "Body piercing has been used as an art form for thousands of years. Everyone from ancient cavemen to ancient cultures and civilizations has used body piercing to express a variety of thoughts. Some cultures, including the ancient Aztecs, use body piercing to commune with the gods, whereas other cultures, including those in several African tribes, use body piercings to express beauty, status, or wealth."

Just the other night my mom told me i couldn't get my lip pierced. One little stud that you could barely see. " Then whats the point of getting it if you can't even see it?" was her response. That is not the point i was trying to make. She said that she would compromise and let me pierce my "shoulder blade"... but not my lip. I actually thought about it. Ya know i think i might get an humungous implant piercing on my shoulder instead of a tiny lip piercing. I have my ears triple pierced and i have an industrial bar already. She told me that a belly button piercing would be cute to get. If i would get that pierced that would make me want to wear shirts that show it off, because according to grown ups thats all they are are attention getters and just down right atrocious. Either way i will never understand there reasoning but i when i have kids i wont keep them from wanting to express who they are.

Proud Sister(:

Last monday my sister left to go to boot camp for 5 months to be a State Trooper. I knew once she graduated high school and college that she would do something great. I am glad i get to see her every weekend, even though she will be really tired and all she will want to do is sleep. At least i get to see some of her. I am so proud of what she has done, even though she is going to be a State Trooper cop, i still worry about what she is going and if she is ok. I believe that every branch of law enforcement or military should be treated the same. Yeah cops aren't over seas fighting for our country like soldiers, but she is still keeping people safe by "getting the bad guys" and stopping bad people from making stupid mistakes like drinking and driving, texting and driving, pretty much anything else that you shouldn't do while driving. I love her and i am so excited for her to graduate boot camp this April and become a cop and start her career/
