Should 11 year olds have their ears pierced?
No one "should" get their ear pierced; it's not a medically necessary procedure, and is purely a matter of fashion, culture, and taste and/or the lack thereof.My youngest child is over 21 now, so I'm thankfully unaware of cultural mores among pubescent boys, but I really can't think of a single reason a 13 year old boy should be allowed to get his ears pierced. If his parents want to allow it, it's their business; if they don't, I'm fine with that too.
