First, I want to thank everyone who supported this. Second, I want to thank everyone that wasn't a jerk while posting, and remained civil. Lastly, I posted here because I've always seen our community as a place where everyone is relatively open-minded and civil. I was very mistaken. some of the people here are the most judgemental, arrogant jerks I've seen in a long time. if you fit in this category, [censored] off.

uhh What kind of mother would ask there kid to help out on rent ? JACKA$$



a disabled single parent mother who can't work, jerk. he's a good son. she's making efforts to get a job, he's only living there for a year or two until she can get back on her feet.

no, he didn't move because he got made fun of, his mother moved, he lives with her, can't do much about it. military kids aren't different than any other kids.
safety? it's his choice. he gets them ripped out, his problem. he has a right to express himself. the rules of the school may exist, but they are unconstitutional.
what kind of mother let's her son get facial piercings? who cares? bad parenting? why?! what's wrong with them! you don't like them? don't look at him, no one asked you to. at least he isn't doing drugs or drinking himself stupid.
why'd they move to georgia? better schools? no, but when you graduate from one they help pay for college.
I see someone said "he doesn't have money for rent but money for a lawyer". my mom's a lawyer, she knows people, we know them personally, they're getting help with that.

then he must have some messed-up issues.



ever have a girlfriend with pierced ears? why? oh wait, they make her look prettier in her opinion. all females must be nutjobs, right?
many people mentioned that one day he'll have to take them out for his job. ok, when he gets a college degree and no longer has to work at McDonalds, he'll take them out. why should he have to now?
he knew the consequences, he's dealing with them. he went to the school board, a reporter APROACHED HIM. btw, this should be on nationwide news tomorrow, just FWI. it IS a big deal.

wtf is wrong with you? so he has a couple piercings, big deal. he likes them, who cares? like you're perfect, jacka$$, don't post if you're just going to be a punk.





So your saying that anyone why has a different opinion than you is a punk? Welcome to real life when not everyone agrees with you. I for one voted yes on the stupid web poll even though its results are of a volutary nature and therefore not of any statistical value.






no, he's a punk because of the way he approached it. "WTF is wrong with this kid" is very different than "I disagree with this because...". I know what's coming next, "well in reality people don't all react in a civil manner, get used to it". ok, so what, I'll call them punks too.
