Strangely my sons didn't have a problem at elem school.My DD seems to have small but fat lobes and the stalks on the earrings are barely long enough.<br />Where did you get those stick things from, I will try to get those?<br />I had my nose done before but it wouldn't stay in, I would so love to rock up to the school with a nose stud and my belly ring hanging out and ask them what there goddamn problem is? yk LOL.<br />It's ridiculous those, even in high school, my eldest is 18!! I think she should be able to perm/dye her hair, pierce her ears, wear a watch, if she wants to.!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-30119953180110711622011-01-16T13:51:30.778+09:002011-01-16T13:51:30.778+09:00haha, L, you can just help me devise devious ways ...haha, L, you can just help me devise devious ways to get around the rules!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321189743948194204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-47330884675805338772011-01-16T13:47:03.800+09:002011-01-16T13:47:03.800+09:00If the clear plastic things don't work for you...If the clear plastic things don't work for you, you can always put tape big gauze bandages on their earlobes over their earrings, and have them say they got infected and have to cover them -- and do this until they're healed enough to remove during the day.<br /><br />My daughter, alas (14 this month) doesn't want to get her ears pierced. It's her choice, but it's bad because I was secretly looking forward to devious ways of getting around the rules.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13437332749627332216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-54187422624650965522011-01-14T19:15:54.433+09:002011-01-14T19:15:54.433+09:00Yay Bryn!

I'll see if we have any in stock.Brynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810188152534957194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-30307870225266355602011-01-13T19:03:25.085+09:002011-01-13T19:03:25.085+09:00I wouldn't know if they were sensitive or not,...I wouldn't know if they were sensitive or not, I think not. Normal. Still, a lot of fuss! The clear ones are pretty noticeable so I think their friends may have noticed them anyway, and it was the FRIENDS telling on them, policing the rule, that the teachers acted on - couldn't be seen to let a rule slide by, though they may have let it slide if they saw it themselves. VERY familiar with that scenario from the teacher's side of the classroom!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321189743948194204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-77102577509599305492011-01-13T14:59:20.256+09:002011-01-13T14:59:20.256+09:00what a bloody huha.

Mine were terrible when I got mine done at 11 and the daily meths dousing was ultra painful.

As far as I know she wore them to school but they were TINY TINY little studs.<br /><br />Hope the girls don`t have too many issues with them.Luluhttp://cherryblossomadventures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-46008377627857208912011-01-13T09:30:13.392+09:002011-01-13T09:30:13.392+09:00I was just going to mention the plastic earrings t...I was just going to mention the plastic earrings too!<br /><br />I had mine done when I was 20 and it hurt a lot. They've grown over now and I just can't bear to get them done again. I've seen lots of girls (and boys) wearing earrings so they probably take them out in school, or cover their ears with their hair!<br /><br />I think the Japanese get upset at the whole "modifying the body your parents gave you" thing. My husband never liked watching me put earrings in, he must be happy that I don't do it now!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476943539943172099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10491385.post-29102082077761083642011-01-13T02:28:56.898+09:002011-01-13T02:28:56.898+09:00Hi,

They must be meant for people with facial piercings but professional jobs, but I imagine they would work as well in ears just for school hours. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
