Daughter Who Wanted a Tongue Ring
09/23/2014



Dr. Laura, 

I called you a while back regarding my college-bound daughter wanting to assert her independence and get a tongue ring. At that time, she did not get a tongue ring; however, I noticed when we went to visit her at college, she had one. We told her our disapproval and, eventually, after being annoyed with it she took it out on her own. 

After that, I sent her "The Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives," never discussing it with her. I wasn't even sure if she read it - until this week. While looking at her Facebook profile, I noticed she shared a post from your Facebook page! I want you to know that you are making an impact on my daughter even though she would not want me to be aware of it. What's more impressive is even before her sharing that post, I noticed she was behaving more responsibly than in the past. 

Thank you, Dr. Laura! 

Christine
