Prepare to get decimated for a thought out opinion not in line with the teachings… I agree with you though.
I firmly believe that any adult has the right to do and live with their body as they please, and is their own business and nobody else’s.
But allowing kids, who often can’t even get a piercing or tattoo before being 18, to seriously mess with their hormones in a critical stage of development seems way more irresponsible than getting some earrings. The latter can just grow shut over time.
Discovering one’s own sexual orientation and how to fit into this confusing maze of personal relations and interactions we call society is a process that I don’t believe any teenager can grasp or properly comprehend fully, that isn’t completed until some years later. Many things change, many certainties are utterly irrelevant a moment later.
Permitting them to permanently mess with their physiology in such a critical phase of development seems wildly irresponsible to me.
