I must've missed that part. Where did she say that?
Then I shall show you...
She is very shy and doesn't date at ALL. I mean NEVER.
She doesn't hang around with anyone at school. I wish she did. All her friends are 'away' at college and she chose to stay home and commute. She has not made one friend at school yet. She goes to school, she comes straight home. She is miserable.
She is miserable because she is home going to school while all her friends are away. If she had gone away, she'd be miserable due to homesickness. She could never even make it through a whole week away at camp when she was growing up! She has not made any new friends because she is pretty introverted and has lack of self-esteem due to being overweight. Sad thing is, the more miserable she gets, the more she eats. It's a vicious cycle. This is why I think she's pressing the piercing issue. She thinks it will make her happier. Get attention, etc.
These posts are the reason for my opinion.
