Dss is 13 and getting ear stretchers. This is being allowed by his mum. Dh and I are sad and concerned that this will damage not only his ears but future prospects. Are we old farts who need to get a grip? Or is there anything we can and should do? Help!

I don't think anybody actually wants their 13 year old to have piercings, but it's one of those choose your battles things. The best option is probably to accept you can't stop them, but you can compromise and you can ensure they do it as safely and hygienically as possible.

It's not about age, people have been stretching for years. I know of people in their 50s and beyond with them, it's just that in the last decade or so they have increased with popularity.
