Exactly! THIS is why responsible parents carefully the activities that are appropriate for children.

My kids were not allowed to date until after 16, were not allowed to get a tattoo, smoke, drink alcohol (other than the occasional sip of wine or beer), curse, etc. etc.

Behaviors (decisions) have consequences. Good parents protect their offspring from the consequences of bad ones; and they certainly don’t encourage them.

Can kids now get their ears pierced without parental permission yet?
