You're probably right.
As I said in #62, I was a rebel without a clue/thrill seeker when I was young. But I sought pleasure not pain and nothing physically scarring, which is something that I think these young people have somehow confused or reversed, pain and pleasure.. They remind me of some others in a thread posted last year, Latest Piercing Rage: Tongue Splitting , which had several links to other articles. The 19 year old below in this photo is mild compared to some others from links on that thread. I think these below are two of those links.
