Bard, Meghan. "Piercings Are Popular Among Teens." Body Piercing and Tattoos, edited by Sharon Bahadosingh, Greenhaven Press, 2007. At Issue. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/EJ3010480210/OVIC?u=ggcl&sid=OVIC&xid=53b75c2c. Accessed 12 Mar. 2020. Originally published as "Despite Parents' Concern, Body Piercings Stay Popular Among Teens," Sentinel and Enterprise, 28 Aug. 2005.
   Parents are now more accepting of their teenagers getting piercings and tattoos. Most teens want pieircings and will most likely get them even if they don’t have approval. They see older people on social media and become influenced but luckily Piercings are less permanent and can be taken out unlike tattoos. There was one life threatening incident when a 13 year old girl decided to pierce her own navel. Her mother didn’t take her to get proper care and she ended up being in the hospital for life threating infection. It is important to go to a professional piercer they have all the knowledge and will verbally teach you about the after care for home.

The most important cells replace themselves faster. we all may have the questioned why the body replaces itself or how the body replaces itself. The body makes new cells in different ways. one way is by a process called mitosis, when a parent cell splits into two new cells and those cells are called daughter cells which are copies of the original cell. Another way the body replaces itself is stem celling. They are usually in the lowest amount. Cells like blood cells and nerve cells can not make copies of themselves. When you are born with spaces between your hands and feet is caused due to cells dying preventing you from having webbed hands and feet like some animals. All cells eventually shrivel up and die.
