Belly button rings only change someone's appearance, not who they are deep down inside.
Belly button rings show no signs of slowing down, in fact, they seem to be gaining momentum when it comes to popularity. That being said, more and more people are learning to accept these piercings (heck, even my Grandmother thinks they look neat). Are you one of the acceptors, or are you one who still frowns upon these pieces of body jewelry?
If you said you hate them with every fiber of your being, know this, what you think, regardless of who wants to admit it or not, has an impact. And this is a very, very bad impact. That's right; it can downright ruin a person's life.
Without a doubt, all teenagers are looking to be accepted by society, regardless if they want to admit that or not. And when they hear that someone thinks differently of them just because they enjoy sporting belly button rings, can really make them think differently of themselves. This can actually lead to acting out and depression. If you don't already know how detrimental depression can be, look it up. This is something that you need to know! To keep it short, without going into exact details, if a bout of depression is not caught and treated in time, it could lead to suicide in some cases. Now let me ask you this, is expressing your closed-minded views on belly button rings really worth risking someone's life over? I seriously doubt it.
Just because your niece or nephew has their navel pierced, doesn't mean that they are any different on the inside. The only thing that has changed is now they have a body piercing. Their personality is the same; and after all, isn't that how a person should be viewed, by their personality? So think twice about how you want to view him or her, because his will also affect how they see and what they think of you.
If after hearing all of this you still hate them, be considerate to those that don't and keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you never know who may be listening, and your thoughts could ruin someone's life.
