The first things I did when I got out of school in '65 was to buy a pair of Levis and pierce my ears.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.
It's no fun getting older. I might be wearing beautiful diamond earrings, but they can't take away the pain of losing my hearing.
I went to a private arts school. We had to wear cloaks.
I've always had my ear pierced with a diamond stud. I did it myself when I was 16.
My mother is going to get earrings of my head. Some will be dipped in silver, some will be dipped in gold, and I will hand them out to everyone I know.
My mother gave me a pair of diamond earrings when I was 13. It symbolised becoming a teenager. I also remember getting a collection of costume jewellery from my grandmother when I was in high school.
Almost the first thing I did when I became ill was to buy a truly good television set.
When I was young, my mother would not let me get my ears pierced because I used to get into too many fights.
My mother persuaded me not to pluck my eyebrows when I was a teenager - right now I'm so grateful I never did! She also taught me to pour 2 kg. of salt in my bath whenever I feel swollen and tired - and to end it with a cold shower. It does wonders.
When I was 16, at night I went to my high school and chucked rocks at the billboard sign and broke the light bulbs. That was fun.
