Ok, so I know this is random, but my son wants to get his ears pierced, and I am not sure that is a good idea, being that he will be at boarding school in the fall. I don’t know what prep school culture is like, but I hate for him to get them pierced just to be unable to wear them due to school rules or worse, have teachers or students make judgements about who he is based on his earrings. He is not interested in gages, just regular earrings. I guess my question is this: how conservative are boarding schools in general about things like this and would having earrings negatively impact him?

Thanks.
