Anyway my youngest niece she and her friend both turned 12 about a month apart from each other.
Her friend started off the school year with her mother allowing her to get her nose pierced..she was 11.
Then for her 12th birthday she was allowed to get her belly button pierced...and now this past weekend her mother took her to get her tongue pierced.
This IMO is unbelievable. The girl who is now only 12 is as tall as me, fully developed *she could easily be mistaken for 15-16 and she has informed my niece that she has the hots for some 18 year old guys in her neighborhood.
The girl's mother complains that older guys are always checking her out and talking her up but I don't see how she's helping the situation by fully outfitting her in the hoochie uniform of the day.
don't get me wrong I am not a prude...piercings etc are fine but IMO are one of those things that are age appropriate.
15-16 witha few piercing = expressing oneself
12 seems like you're just pimping out your kid.

The rites of passage....for children...getting way out of hand, in my opinion. I agree with you.
When parents begin to allow this kind of stuff too early, what do they expect?
What parents don't realise is, by saying yes too soon, allows the child to think ahead to the next desire on the list. There's no delayed gratification or incentive.
There is nothing to look forward to in the sense of milestones achieved with age.
Even 15-16 might be too young for belly and nose piercings.
I don't know. It just seems kids are growing up too fast.
