Hair:

so you see a haircut you like and decide you want it. You show it to your parents, and they refuse. Heres where you could go from here:

DO NOT:
- Whine
- Scream
- Shout
- Use any of the following in the same sentence 'You don't understand me!'
- cry
-storm off in a huff
- throw a tantrum.

They won't help you get your haircut. They'll only give them another reason not to let you.

DO:
- politely ask why you can't have this haircut. If theres a good reason like, school wont like it, work wont like it, you should probably leave it.
- make a deal; you get better grades/keep your room tidy/whatever, they let you get your haircut.
- Be a good little boy/girl. Help around the house, walk the dog, make tea or whatever you think will get your brownie points with your parents up. In the end they may or may not let you have the haircut you want, in which case you will just have to wait it out.

Don't go do it anyway.
Believe me, they will be pissed.

Piercings:

Firstly , think about it. Hard. For a couple of months. Do you really want to shove a needle through your body and make a permanent mark? Piercings can be taken out but most of them leave at least a small scar.
things to consider:
age:
If you are 12, 13 or younger, get out now. You legally cannot be pierced or tattooed without your parents consent, [although they wont tattoo you anyway whether your mum says yes or no.] plus chances are at this stage its just a fad that will pass. If you're 14 or 15, This is a little better but most studios will not pierce you without your parents consent. If you're 16, with the exception of genital and nipple piercings you can have piercing done (at least in the UK, i think for the US its 18. someone correct me please if I'm wrong) without your parents consent.
Where you want the piercing:
This is one of the most important things in the whole piercing escapade. Where you're going to get pierced may affect everything elses. If you want a lip ring, will you need a retainer for school or work? Things like ear piercing and bellybutton piercing are easier to hide, so work and/or school may not mind too much.
Why you want the piercing:
Ok, Important. Why do you want to shove a ring through your face/body? Are all your friends doing it? Is it the latest trend? To impress someone? If its any of these, you should definately not get a piercing. I mean come on, if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump too just to fit in? If you've decided this for yourself with no pressure, think about it a bit more before you go for it.

ABSOLUTE FUCKING NO NO'S.
- Do not EVER use a fake ID to pretend to be old enough to be pierced. It is definately not unheard of for piercing studios to be shut down because one stupid kid with a fake ID got pierced, their parents found out and told the authorities they were piercing underage kids, even though it wasn't their fault they used a fake ID. Do you want to shut down a business and put someone out of a job?
- any of the things in the haircut section ie scream, whine, tantrums.

Do:
Same as in the haircuts section above this bit.

If you want it that much, you can wait for it. when you're living by yourself, you can do whatever you want.

I'm glad this got pinned. Maybe now all the kids that post pointless threads like "I hate my parents" will understand how to handle problems like adults now instead of how a 3 year old would.

Yeah I've tried that...but she only allows temporary. Because I'm "so pale"
The problem is...she's going to let me put a lot of colours in my hair.
Maybe she'll make an exception for black over the summer holidays....
