Do other people agree that letting young children have piercings and haircuts with wild designs cut into them just too much . Why do they have to allow it and what do they think it enhances for the youngsters ,I think its so sad to not let the children have a childhood without the pressures of having to look like a miniature adult before there time. No doubt there will be many who disagree with me ,but hey ho.

I do agree but then my children would have had neither.
Is it the child's idea or that of an idiot parent?
Those who allow it are presumably of the same way of thinking or is it the modern philosophy of never saying no to children?
There does seem to be a fashion for looking as odd as possible.
Following and copying heroes who aren't very bright is for the not very bright.
At least the things you mention are temporary. I find the present proliferation of tattoos quite worrying.
The nature of fashion is that it changes therefore to have some permanent unsightly mess on the body will lead to a few laughs in the future.

I feel sorry for the poor little lads who are circumcised at birth. The parents actually arrange for a stranger to chop some of their winky off.
A pair of studs in little "Porsches" ears isn't an issue.

As they say, never judge a book by it's cover.

I think the real problem is that when they enter the job market, interviewers who see a face peppered with metal pieces and drawings, and adorned by a bizarre hairdo, are likely to skip to the next candidate. To my mind parents who allow children to be 'odd' when still young (under 16) suggests to me that they do not impose enough discipline (not the old fashioned kind, just good behaviour, doing homework etc).
We agree on something...shall we celebrate?

While I agree that it's not good to be too 'odd or different' at a very young an age, I think its great that teenagers can express themselves. Not good sense to get tats on the face or anything of course, but anything else can be taken out/hidden for jobs and stuff calmed down.
I was a total art school cliche, had a mohican haircut, the make-up, the clothes. Just toned it down for job interviews etc and never had a problem, got every job I ever went to, but then there were more jobs around then I guess. My father at the time was a little wary at the beginning, but my mother was excellent, she knew that it was good to be yourself and also knew that it wouldn't last forever.
Strangers judged me and my peers for our clothes and looks, but I can tell you it was incredible short-sighted, my friends were the kindest of souls you could ever hope to meet and are now highly successful people (doctors, teachers). I never saw any troubles with folk dressed like that, no fighting, no stupid behaviour. However, I saw a lot of that rubbish with my fellow t-shirt, trainers and short back and sides age group.
You lot just sound like a right bunch of old fuddy-duddys. It's good to be different, to stand out in a crowd if the kid want's to do that. It can teach so much, and I, well it gave me confidence and it taught me that judging folk on looks alone is stupid and those folk miss out on what can be an incredible person, mad style and all.

You do, therefore, think there is a line not to be crossed.

"Under UK law, employers are currently permitted to refuse to hire someone because they have a tattoo, can ask employees to cover up any visible tattoos while at work, and dismiss an employee for getting a tattoo". In 2014, a woman was sacked for having a tattoo on her foot!
"Evidently, the traditional views of tattoos are still woven deep within the corporate world, and unless you choose a creative sector of work, having a tattoo may set you back. GRB's marketing director and co-founder, Dan Hawes, advises undergraduates "to really consider how their personal adornment choices might be perceived by potential employers when they come to start looking at graduate employment opportunities."

Only in the sense of it's something you can't hide if so need to. An old mate of mine years back had a tat on the side of his skull, said that he can grow his hair to cover it up but I did wonder if he'd ever go bald...
Oh, this was a story I did years ago for one of the redtops - it went everywhere. People should be more careful!

Don't have a problem with tasteful tats, tats were rare when I was a youngster (other than sailors, which strangely was deemed perfectly acceptable by most), they do seem more common now. I had a tat done when I was 18, I don't regret it. I can hide it but it meant a lot to me and still now, even tho I suppose I am 'seen as too old now', I think of those times when I had it done most fondly, it's part of my history. I really don't care what anyone else might say and I have never not go a job because I had a tat or lost one. Luckily for me tho, I don't and never worked in the corporate world, narrow minded bunch of folk. A tat does not stop you doing your job well.
Extreme example, I know.
Am I being stupid or is this just a complete and utter tosspot?
Only because he's receding already - gonna look great with a combover in a few years

I wonder if you pride yourself in not being a judgemental person? You don't react to race, you don't judge same-sex marriage, you say to yourself you wait until you get to know someone before you make up your mind about them and yet.....?Extreme example, I know.

I do think you are being a bit stupid as to post these supposedly provocative pictures as to try and make a point which in all honesty, doesn't need making.
