Would it be okay for me to get a piercing, and why are so many opposed to piercings on 13-14 year olds?

I am a 13 year old female, and so you know what you are answering, I have pretty much an adult maturity level. I can definately be trusted by others who know me. I am a straight A+ student for the most part and consider myself very respectful and thoughtful. I have been doing research for a past 2 years now into care and possible problems, how to fix them and how to prevent them.I want this not to be popular or follow a trend, not for attention, not even really for expression( how can you really express feelings by a hole in your body? Tattoos, maybe but not this) This is what I want purely for aesthetic reasons. I know my tastes may change, but if they do I can take the piercings out. The same principle applies to jobs, careers, etc. I feel like scars won't matter because they will remind me of more fun, more youthful times in my life when I could do things like this. I also feel that no matter what, I will be comfortable in my skin. To give you a clue about my personality, I am the shy, semi anti-social type with somewhat odd, contradictory interests that doesn't give a hoot about it when people judge me, but I still try to stay respectful and not judge other people or be rude to them. Confidence is key. I would also, however, like to understand reasons why people would say no to a peircing. 'You're too young" is much too vague, IMO. I don't believe that it could be said that a person my age can't make their own decisions, either, because obviously they could make the decision that they wanted the piercing and are willing to endure that pain to get it. If the reason they want it is vain and impulsive, I get that some people would disagree with it. But why do so many people say no, even when it is evident that much thought has been put into a decision? Though piercings, especially facial ones, were not mainstream in the '60, '70, '80's per se, they are now. Please answer this question by RESPECTFULLY stating your opinions as clearly as possible. I do not want my decision to be too biased, I don't want to get this piercing if the only opinion I hear is my own. Try to answer as thoroughly as you can, and due to the serious nature of this decision, all answers whether in my favor or not, will be shown to my parents and reviewed extensively. Thank You and God Bless.

Transferring to a better high school but assistant principle won't let me?

If the school is within the district you are living the principle has no right to keep you within their school. The transfer of a child from one school to the next is the parents decision. Initially what the principle is doing holding you back is illegal. I think your family should look into why the principle is refusing transfer or bring it up with the superintendent? I can't give too much information because I don't know the entire situation. Best of luck on the transfer.

I have a bird...what to feed it?

Its a baby, I mean I would know what to feed it if it was an adult. But its a baby, and I don't know what else to feed it besides worms and crushed berries. Does anyone know what else I could feed it? And also, I have a dropper to give it water, but I'm afraid to give it more than it needs. Any ideas on what to do there either? Thanks.

Questions about robins?

Okay so we found a robin not nesisarilly a baby just a tinsy bit older. It seemed to have fallen out of the nest, and couldn't get back and the mother couldn't do anything. It can fly pretty good for a short while, but it has a broken foot. We have fed it a little water from a dropper and some mushed up chicken feed for baby chickens. It really likes it and eats it good, and we have fed him a coulple worms. Whats the best way to nurse it back to health so that its foot will be okay.

Tell your parents that failure to provide proper veterinary care to a dog that is plainly ill is a violation of anti-cruelty laws and that they can be arrested. Ask them to take the dog to the veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.

How to get rid of ear wax? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP!?

All day, I have had my ear clogged with wax. I can hear, and it doesn't hurt, but it's getting really annoying. My toe is broking and I'm just lying around hurting, and this is not helping WHATSOEVER. (spelling?) Anyways, I have tried using an eye dropper to put some water in, then tilting my head to get the water out. Didn't work. Same with olive oil. I can't go to the doctor's because it's really late, and tomorrow is Victoria Day and it's closed. Is there a quick way to get rid of it? Please, I'm begging you.

How difficult is it to enlist in the Coast Guard Reserves for the year 2011?

I believe they are not recruiting for reserves for FY 2011 at this time. I believe they have met their quota. Just to be sure, since I'm not a recruiter, you should check with one.
