YOUR REGION — In a dramatic show of her free spirit, “can’t be tamed” attitude, a 16 year-old girl in your area has decided to go through with piercing her nose even after her parents told her it was okay.

“I don’t care if they’re totally cool with it, I fucking did it anyways,” explained Janis Hopperman, whose parents have also posed no problem with her using the occasional swear word. “And you know what? I’m going to go to that concert downtown tomorrow night even after they agreed to drive me there.”

Friends of Hopperman are not surprised in the least by her gutsy decision to go through with the piercing even with her parents’ consent, and say she’s always acting out within the boundaries.

“She’s such a rebel,” fawned schoolmate Alexis Brill who said she couldn’t even imagine piercing her nose if her parents were supportive of it. “I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets a tattoo that her parents agree is appropriate next . . . she’s just that much of a loose-cannon.”

According to Hopperman’s parents they’re happy to allow her to make her own decisions as long as she continues to get good grades and stay out of trouble.

“Yeah, my parents tried to tell me that I could only get my nose pierced if I made the honour roll,” Hopperman said with a snide grin. “So I just like, worked really hard, made them proud and then got this piercing, like, you know fuckin’ whatever.”
