Body Piercings
Should Body piercing be banned for teenagers under the age of 18?
Dear editor,
I believe that body piercings, on the stomach, tongue or genitals for adolescence under the age of 18 should be banned and made illegal. Body piercing have many health risks and can be fatal if infected or not looked after properly. The reason this issue even came into the new is because of the extreme health issues. Teenagers don’t think about the consequences and most of their bad choices in like are made under the influence of drugs, alcohol and peer pressure. Teenagers like their name are too young to think about their future they are too immature to know what is best for them.
Piercings are potentially fatal, studies in Queensland show that one in three people with tongue piercings will suffer complications such as infections which can cost thousands of dollars to cure and take care of. Infections aren’t the only problem think about your children getting blood poisoning, nerve damage and even hepatitis A, B, and C because of a small piercing that you thought was nothing just a small whole. In the year of 2006 in Queensland piercing practitioners treated over 1000 people for piercing infections. Do you really want your children to be one of that 1000? There for the right thing to do is to is to ban teenagers under the age of 18 in getting body piercings.
Teenagers are known to make spur of the moment decisions under the influence of alcohol, drugs and peer pressure . This law will prevent teenagers making the wrong decisions at the wrong times. Personally as a mother of three I would hate my children to walk in with a piercing they didn’t even consent me about. There have been many children talking spur of the moment decisions they don’t even know will affect them greatly in the future.
Piercings come with consequences and when our teenagers are irrational they don’t take them into perspective. Body piercings effect people perspective about you they see you in a different
