I speak from experience...I grew up with a mother exactly like that.
12 year old girls don't need tongue..nose or belly piercings. If she wants all that then make her earn it through responsible action. Like get a drivers license and a job and then pay for it.

I don't have kids, but I do have a teen brother and sister. When I go to their school, it amazes me to see how those kids dress. They walk around half naked. When I go by children's clothes in stores it's amazing to see that the clothes they want little kids to wear is what women wear!
I actually had the chance to speak to one girl's mother, she asked me why my sister didn't wear skimpy clothes, I simply said my mother doesn't allow her and thank God she doesn't have that desire. The mother told me that she has no choice, her daughter tells her all girls dressed like that. So she is forced to buy skimpy clothes for her 14 yr old daughter...which is BULL, b/c she should be able to say NO!
I just know that we were brought up very different, and my siblings have more respect for themselves....maybe it's not about respect...but my parents were able to teach us certain things, and I supposed we chose to be kids, then teens, (and now adults in my case )without having to get pierce, tatoo, or walk have naked (as kids & teens) if we wanted any of that I think we would have waited until we were old enough to pay for it ourselves. well my parents would have NOt paid for any of that! I think my parents control my siblings, and controled me but it's a good control.
I think my parents also wanted us to enjoy being kids, then teens.
