Hey! Wildfire9 here again! I bring you the latest info from the world of style!

Do you think if someone has their ears pierced, they are weird or different? NO! Don't believe it! I have my ears pierced and no one considers me a freak. If you walked up to someone to ask for directions and they had their nose and eyebrow (and other strange body parts) pierced, do you feel hesitant?

I think people who have piercings are too often criticized for what they look like. Just because that person is pierced and tattooed does not mean they don't have a job -- they probably do work hard and are naturally a nice and caring person. It's their decision what they want to look like and people who are different should not have a problem with that.

My teacher teaches at a local college after our classes. She has students from all different races and cultures. Some students have big afros. Some have dreadlocks. But she accepts them all just as her own kids because she knows that even though they are different they are still just as likely to be great people.

One day this same teacher was in a local craft store. The woman making bows at the ribbon counter had 1,000 bracelets on her arms and her nose and tongue pierced. My teacher said she was a very, very kind person and helped her with the project she was trying to make. No one stayed in the line behind her because the ribbon woman was so different.

You can't judge a person by what they look like.

I have friends in real life who are punk. They are some of the nicest people I know. So they wear spikey bracelets and black clothes. That does not change the person they are!

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Don't judge a person by what they look like.
