I want some sort of change on me

It could be anything...

I'm tired of being plain and simple. I have short brown hair and one earring in each ear.

I want to dye my hair... or streak it...or cut it...

I want to get either one more peircing in each lobe, or just one in the cartilage!

Problem is, my mother won't let me do *any* of those.

Does anybody have a good argument I can put up to her as to *why* I should be able to do this? Do you think I should?

I mean...I don't see what the big deal is about earrings and/or hair!
