When my d got her ears pierced, my son was about 10 and we thought it would be hysterical to get one of those magnetic earrings for my son just so he could wear it home to freak out his father. So my daughter comes home, “Daddy! Daddy! I got my ears pierced!” and I said, “Yeah, I thought we might as well do son’s while we were there.” But the look my husband gave to son made him immediately pull it off and say, “IT’S NOT REAL! It’s not real…I Promise!!”

To the OP: I haven’t seen too many earrings at Exeter, but I doubt anyone would really care. Nowadays, the fashion seems to run more towards self-mutilation rather than a simple pierced earlobe so it’s unlikely it would cause much attention. Be but warned that if he goes to Groton or Deerfield, it MUST be a pearl. ;)
