thats good, im glad i had mine young too, i want my kids to feel like they can tell me anything, like they would to a friend.

im strict on lies, i cant stand them, even little white ones, manners and table manners, i drum these in to them everyday so they are poliet and well mannered if we go out places. Charlie took some body glitter from the chemist once when i wasnt looking, she was only about 5, i marcherd her back the the chemist and made her tell the lady what she had done and give it back, scared the life out of her but she has never done it again lol

Thanks girls, I really appreciate your honesty. I've actually just read all of your replies out to Kayleigh and asked her what she thinks now that she's heard all the opinions. She still wants it done.

I know I could put my foot down and say no, but, like some of you have said, she'll only go and get it done herself in a less reputable place.

So I'm taking her next week to where I go as I know they are really good.

Thanks again for all of your replies. I'll let you know how we get on.

Ewwwwww I am dreading scenarios like this.....poor you

I personally had to think about this one as there is the fact that a lot of her friends have it done, and the fact you told her 14yrs old before, and just the fact she obviously wants to grow up and be like her friends and not feel left out etc etc...

BUT I think 14 is just a bit too young for my liking, I think I would tell Jade that she can gladly have it done, but she would have to be 16...I know it is only 2 years, but at this age she will be moving onto college or work and really starting to find her own feet and grow up, so of she wants it done then, I would have no problem with it.

It is a difficult one, as I have been there. I always wanted my ears pierced, my Mum had no problem with it, but my Dad put his foot down and wouldn't let me have them done til I was 16!!!!!!!! And that was only my ears....I would have no problem if Jade asked me for her ears pierced tomorrow, but the belly is a different kettle of fish! x

i have 3 teenage daughters,the to oldest both got their belly buttons done at 14. they look after them and apart from the first couple of weeks they don't have their belly's showing all the time.
however my youngest daughter got her tounge done when she was 14 and the problems we have had with her school is unbelievable.
i'd say let her have it done as u have promised, but check she is allowed it at school first. and set another age limit for the next piercing she wants.
good luck.

I had mine done at 14... but my midrif was never actually on show as i was at school or it was bloody cold! I just loved it. Was always into tattoos and piercings though. If she has been responsible with others i don't see the harm and in a couple of weeks she will forget it is there.

I had mine done at 13, my Mum said if I could find someone as young as me with it done then I can have it done. Well we had a girl come from another School who had it done who I became friends with .

My sister had hers done at 15 because she'd never really been bothered about it too much but did want it done. I don't think she's too young and if you said she can have it done at 14 she will want it done now lol, and it's better then her going having it done without you saying yes .

hiya, i dont think there is anything wrong with it being done at her age i had mine done at 13/14 and it didnt effect my life in anyway to be honest i never used to wear short tops anyway but loved having it and still do now, i also dont think its really seen as sexual at all even if she does wear shorter tops , most young girls have it done now i think any younger than 13 is too young tho but its a teenager thing , do u think she might just go and get it done if u say no anyway xxxx

I also moved out when i was 16 cos i felt like my parents wouldnt give me any independance of my own at all , i moved straight in with my partner who im still with now though but it was the best thing i ever done tho, i carryed on at college tho and now have a great job xxxx
