Teenagers can be impulsive, especially when they’re trying to find their identity.

What would you do if your 14-year-old came home with a body piercing you never approved?

Would you stay calm and treat it as a phase?

Or would you draw a hard line about setting boundaries and respecting your rules?

In the following story, one mother finds herself in this very situation with her daughter.

Here’s how it all went down.

AITAH for getting mad at my daughter (14) for getting a tongue piercing without my permission?

I have a 14-year-old daughter who is currently going through her rebellious teenage years.

I came home from work the other day to find she had somehow gotten her tongue pierced!

I  was in complete shock and told her she should have asked me first, talked to me about it instead of just doing this randomly.

Her daughter acted like it was no big deal.

She said it’s not a big deal and lots of girls at school have it.

Am I overacting here?

What are your thoughts?

AITA?

Wow! It’s shocking that she pulled that stunt off while so young.

Let’s see what advice the people over at Reddit have to offer.

Sounds like the damage is already done, so it’s too late for this.

These are great thoughts.

This person thinks she should make her take it out.

Fantastic advice.

The mother should be mad.

Not only did her daughter do this behind her back, but who knows where she got it done?
