I
see that kind of stuff all the time when I go out clubbing. My daughter's best friend has her septum, cheeks, nose, and the bridge of her nose pierced. She also has those things in her ears which are called plugs they use bigger and bigger sizes to make the holes bigger. She has a chest plate (tattoos across her breastbone) and a sleeve and both of her hands are tattooed on the knuckles. The weirdest thing though is that she is very pretty but she is extremely overweight and it's my belief that if she uses these other means of getting people's attention they will not notice how big she is. The more stuff she has done the bigger she gets which is not a coincidence. I have talked to her about this and she has admitted to doing these things because of self esteem issues and I have suggested counseling but you can't make someone seek help unless they are ready to. I was always very into the music scene and went through my glam rock stage and then my punk rock stage and believe me it turned people's heads and even caused mother's to grab their children and practically run away but it was "just a stage" for me. For many people it is just a way to stand out yet really stand in as into a certain crowd so that they feel a part of something. Different looking doesn't mean weird or mentally unstable or dangerous person it's just a person trying to find themselves.
