Because it's normalised in many cultures/families. Stupid imo (I suffered years of complications after having my ears pierced at 7. For most people it won't be a problem but for some it will be-why take the risk?) and also quite ugly (it looks really wrong and, well, naff to be very frank).



The difference between piercing a girl's ears and her nose is the same as the difference between piercing ears and curmcision. One is normalised, widely practiced and mostly accepted while the other is seen as wrong or abnormal. There is no a rational reason for it. Parents make permanent decisions about their children's bodies every day. Some of them are necessary like immunisations and life saving amputations. Others are completely unnecessary aesthetic or cultural choices. The line between right and wrong should be drawn between necessary and unnecessary not socially acceptable and not socially acceptable.
