Belly-button peircing, too young? Options

[[x]Mari[x]]

Feel free to close this if there's a topic similar, I just thought I'd randomly post something I've heard...

This girl I used to go to elementary school with got her belly button peirced. Which isn't too odd, but the thing is she's only 13...

Here, you need to be 16 to get almost any type of peircing without an adult, and she said she just pretended a friends' mom was her mom...

But the point is: What? Peirced belly button at 13? Isn't that a little young? Or is it a natural thing to do at that age and I just don't know?

[I am 13 , for the record, it's odd to me because no one else I know in my entire school has any type of peircing other than ears, not including some girls who peirced their own lips.]

[Looow]

I think 13 is too young. =/

I kind of agree. Because I don't think at that age you really think clearly, in a couple years you could decide you don't want it anymore and there's really no way to completely get rid of it.

I don't even have my ears pierced (I'm 15), I'm weird but I don’t' think it's worth it. Sure, they might be kind of fun for a while, but you'd get bored of it, and there's always a chance it'll get infected and it's just a bother. Two of my friends pierced ears got infected and it took about a year of putting some kind of stuff on it to make it O.K. I donno, it's just too much bother for too little reward.

if you ask me, dont EVER get one. i was actually planning to get one until i saw this girl in the changerooms... there was like yellow pus coming out of the hole =S a few days after ppl said she dint come to school cus the skin sorta ate up the ring and there was a gaping hole with infectious yellow pus coming out... GROSS.

exactly. It may be a very small risk, but it's still putting yourself at risk for lets face it, no real benefits. I'd rather keep my skin unpeirced thank you very much
