I'm sorry to inform you of this, but tongue piercing is for SEXUAL satisfaction for the man in her life. You need to expose him as an abuser, and get your daughter to some religious edcation and better friends.,

It amazes me that you automatically assume she wants if for some sexual reason. I will stack my daughter's moral and religious standards against 99% of all teenagers.

It must be great to automatically know one's motive for having a tonque ring. How do you do it? Will you give me the winning numbers for this weeks lottery? It's 17 million this week in Virginia.

You're too modest. I'd make that number nearer to 100%.

I've always enjoyed FR, but snap judgments made about people are among the most tiresome comments seen on this board.

I'm sorry that I hit you between the eyes...because it's your daughter you can't face facts....read over the others replies in this thread....PLEASE! There is NO other earthly reason why someoe gets their tongue PIERCED!!!! She needs guidance.

I am with you on this one. Tongue piercing is not done for sexula satisfaction. I have a teenage son who recently had his ear pierced. I never objected for one minute. His two teen cousins have their tongues and ears pierced. My son thought it over after being offered a "two for one" deal to have both, ear and tongue, pierced during the same visit. The ONLY reason he didn't do the tongue is because of his sport. A pierced tongue isn't safe while riding motocross.

He never considered sexually satisfying any man. I just spoke with him about this thread and asked what the consensus was among his peers. It is done because it is a TREND ( which ,BTW, is fading slowly among HS kids ). It is the "in" thing to do. My SIL has her tongue pierced. I asked her if this "sex" reason was true. She said no. She liked the way it looked on her. My nephews definately disagree with the idea that it is done to sexually satisfy a man. "It's cool" was their response.

I have allowed my son to dye his hair, get his ear pierced, and dress the way he feels comfortable ( yes, he wears the loose clothing but not so loose that his pants fall to his knee. He is tasteful ) My son is a very respectable kid. He is gifted in his sport and other athletics. He is an "A" student. He is in the National Honor Society and in Who's Who among American HS Students. He is very active in our church as he is a youth leader and a "Big Brother" to two smaller boys in our community. IOW, he is NOT brain damaged as some here have stated about kids who do this.

I would not have objected if he had decided to pierce his tongue. I feel that he made a competent decision based upon his weighing the pros and the cons of having it done. THAT is what matters to me the most. I would rather he have holes in his ear and tongue rather than in his thought processes and heart.

How many here have tatoos? How many here were hippies when it was the "IN" thing to be? How many here went astray from the norms that your parents set forth for you in regards to dress, music, etc? how many here were ever teens? I would dare venture that the majority of us all follwed some fad or another at one point in our youth.
