Question

he is kinda smart doesnt bring home any F's only C's he behaves ok, he has short hair alot of girls like him at school, he have bean askin me for about 2 months and i dont no what to say, And he has braces on his top teeth

Answer 1

YOU are his parent, YOU are responsible for him.  YOU have to decide whether he gets his ear piereced or not.

Answer 2

No dont do it!!!

Do you want ppl calling him g*y?? cuz that what kids in my school call boys who have earrings... and im 11 too 6th grade.. so i suggest not letting him do that....i know it sounds stupid but kids in HS are brudal and i havent even been there yet bit i kno already!!

Answer 3

i think that it would look weird on a little kid. like hes playin dressup with the girls. wait till he is like14 and it wont look like that.

Answer 4

Well, in my family, you may have your ear pierced when you are 18, can pay for it yourself, and are living on your own.  That is my rule, no exceptions.

Answer 5

I'd say no.  If you give in to the 'teen stuff" this early, when he gets to be a teen, the requests will be BIGGER.  

Most schools won't let boys wear earrings.  I'd check first.

Answer 6

give him a few years until he's like 13. then if he still wants one, tell him he will be old enough when he's 13 or 14. he's still too young.

Answer 7

No girls will like him if he gets his ears pierced sorry it is the truth when I was that age I stayed away from boys with piercings!

Answer 8

Just say NO!

Answer 9

I have seen younger boys with earrings but it is up to you but he will be wearing it. If he doesn't like it then all he has to do is take it out and let the hole close up.

Maybe go into school with him one day to see the other kids to see how many boys have it in his class or in his school.

Answer 10

My brother was 10 when he had his done and i have two cousin(5 and 3) who have theirs done. he probably just thinks it'll make him cool, but he should wait til he's absolutely sure.

Answer 11

You're the adult, right?  Do you want his ear pierced?  Cause if you do, get it done.  But if you think like I think, that that's a bad move and a move that you really don't want to have to look at every day, say no, cause you're the adult, right? and you make all the decisions about his body until he is old enough to be an adult, right?  And C's are not that great!  so don't reward mediocrisy and who cares if a lot of girl like him (what u want him having s*x (exposing himself to god only knows what), cause that's where that leads if you don't be the ADULT and stop thinking and parenting like a child)!

Answer 12

who's the boss at home? him or you? if he will want to smoke and do drugs are you going to think about it?

Answer 13

I wouldn't let him do it.  If he wants one, then he can get one when he's 16 and pay for it himself. He's too young to have an earing.

Answer 14

You know I think some of you guys are stupid. Just because a young man wants his ear pierced make him any different from the next guy. Girls do like guys that have there ear pierced. I got my son ear done when he was a baby and he is 6 years old and loves having his ear pierced. I say if your child wants it done and can take care of it then you should let him. If I have another son I would get his ear pierced and won't care what any one say.

Answer 15

I agree with AlenaT. is he the mother or you. if you say no then no. he can peirced his ears when he get a job.
