Judge not lest you be judged, my friend

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was riding my bike and stopped at a street light. A little girl looked at me, then asked her mother, "Mommy, why does that girl have a ring through her nose?" Her mother then replied, "Because her parents don't love her." FML

Well who cares what they say. We're ALL individuals and people will always judge. So what, who needs them, they're jus the ignorant people who have small minds in this society.

Aw, that is terrible. I feel bad for you! Frankly, both of my parents brought me to the store to get my nose pierced when I was 14! But then again....I am of South Asian descent, and it is common for women to wear a small diamond stud/ring in their nose.

#31 is an idiot. Body modifications have NOTHING to do with whether or not your parents "love" you, and not all dudes are as close-minded and useless as #31. Septum piercings aren't personally my cup of tea, but I respect the hell out of anyone's right to have them (or any other body mod)...and there are plenty of other piercings & tattoos that I find VERY attractive and, yes, very classy. I think it's pretty unclassy to not respect a person's personal choices about their own body. Your body is your business...and my body is mine. F off if you have a problem with that. However, I think the very act of posting this as an "FML" makes it a "YDI." BEFORE getting piercings or tattoos, you should consider what effect this is going to have on your life. I understand that there are folks who are going to make stupid judgments about my and my SO's (large, visible) ink; it doesn't bother me one bit. YDI for not thinking these things through. -.-

31, **** you dude. i have my nose peirced (stud, not septum, very few people can pull off a septum and im not one) lip stud (normally its a ring but i need to get a job), 00 gauge plus, and another peircing above it (its kinda cute, like a dimple for my plugs) and my parents love me and accept it, and it doesnt make me look trashy, sure SOME peircings make SOME girls look trashy, but dont generalize. i think piercings are incredibly attractive.

37 and 38: wtf??!? I said she had the right to have it too! i said the same thing #37 did! I said it was a mean thing for the mom to say, and I ALSO said that she had the right to get that piercing, and ive had a girl with piercing aside from ears, so im NOT judging or hating here. ======= ALL I SAID WAS THAT THE MOM WAS TRYING TO DISSUADE HER DAUGHTER (understandably) FROM GETTING A PIERCING! BECAUSE PARENTS, UNLIKE US TEENAGERS, DO NOT LIKE THEIR KIDS GETTING PIERCINGS! I mean, are you dumb or something? do you honestly think parents DO like it?
