Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML

Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML

Today, I was adjusting my nose piercing from the inside. My mother saw and thought I was picking my nose, so she slapped my hand away, tearing my nose ring out in the process. FML

Today, at work, a customer told me how unprofessional my piercing made me look, and insisted that someone else wait on his table. It's not a piercing, it's a mole. FML

Today, my professor called me out in the middle of a lecture to ask why I was bleeding. I then had to explain to him, in front of around one hundred of my fellow classmates, that my largest zit had burst. FML

Today, while fighting with a girl I hate, my nose piercing got a little loose and I ended up snorting it in. That same girl had to take me to the hospital for surgery. She told everyone afterwards. FML

Suspended for a nose peircing that doesn't have a ring in it? Strict much?

I thought the school was opposed to needles near noses

Even if it was a nose piercing why should they suspend you they shouldn't be able to suspend you for piercing

Well maybe if she had a group of piercings in the shape of a Swastika it would be understandable, but even that would limit your free speech. I guess you have to draw the line somewhere.

I feel old.. *sigh* bc when I was in school.. About 10 yrs ago lol.. Piercings aside from regular ear piercings were against school policy. Actually, I also just looked at my daughter's school policy handbook and it says the same thing. Maybe it's acceptable in other states, and countries.. But here where I live in FL you can't have them. So I don't think it's that abnormal for her school to have a policy against it.

For everyone that is freaking out about a suspension for a nose piercing. The O.P is from Australia. Over here even public schools require uniforms and dress codes. Still may be a little harsh but not as surprising as if t happened in a U.S school.

#74, I'm from Australia too and I was wondering why everyone thinks it's so surprising that the OP was going to get suspended because of that, my school is a public school and we'd get suspended for it too.
