Piersings 'bother' me. I cringe a little . I've abused my body PLENTY but not in this way.

Can you please explain how and why you seem to believe that piercings are equivalent to abuse?
I have 7 lobe piercings, my tongue, and 3 tattoos (which are all covered by a t-shirt and jeans, BTW). I am your average girl-next-door who is in University, works two jobs, and come from a good family.
I was also abused, and trust me, they are not equivalent, and to hear someone make a comment like that, IMHO, makes me ill. I know plenty of people who have done various drugs and were/are alcoholics, and have paid with their lives for doing those things. If piercings bother you, fine. But to say they're up their with abuse and activities such as drugs, I'm sorry, that I can't understand.
