tell her it is her life, and that she can do as she pleases, as long as she is not living on your dime. If you pay for her expenses, house her, or such, you can tell her you will cut her off for at least the price she spends of her money on this piercing thing.
Tell her that it may make it harder to find a professional job, it is to some folks really strange looking, has health issues, costs money. Hey I know styles change, long hair was once the radical youth thing back in my days, but at least you can cut your hair with no permenant damage, bell bottom pants, well I can't fit in them anymore any way, I have a few tye dyes, but I don't wear them every where anymore. the piercing thing is like a tatoo, it's going to last. Asker her if she can picture her grandmother or other maybe 70 year old lady with a pierced tongue. Ah the things we do when we are teens that we regret latter in life. Tell her she should wait and think about it. It is like advice about how to dress for an interview, she can dress in rags, and complain that she didn't get the job, Her clothes may have had no bearing on how she would have done on the job, but the fact is most folks do make first judgements on folks on how they present themselves. Same for the piercing. Think about it i say, cause it is not easily reversed. See if any local hospital does cosmetic reconstruction on this, and ask if they have anyone wishing to talk to her about how folks later want them reversed, or folks that have had adverse health from it. Ask the dentist what he/she thinks. At least if she does go for it, she will have been warned, I like the tape recording idea, think of playing it back when she is forty years old. "But Dad, everyone is doing it" yeah yeah yeah. somethings never change. |
