I once bit off the very very very very tip of my tongue. (If I stick it out as far as it will go, you can see a slightly irregular tip. Otherwise it isn't obvious.) I was sleeping and it must have been something in my dream that caused me to bite down hard...tip of my tongue was in the way. Not a pleasant means of waking up!
The thing with tongue piercing that bothers me is the potential for cracked teeth and the metal mouth taste experience.
I find it mildly curious that people pierce themselves, 'cause I just don't understand the appeal. I've never had anyone explain it to me in a manner I could understand. I don't even have pierced ears myself. I'm not into jewelry at all which I understand is a betrayal to my gender. *L*
Tierayn: I've just been reading your posts for the first time tonight. Part of the "manic" behaviour you describe could be due to a hormonal imbalance. At your age your hormones are definitely all over the map. As your doctor said, being on the pill may help regulate that aspect. And as everyone here has said, being 14 isn't easy. But it does get better! Just hang in there. It's got to be tough with the loss of loved ones added on top of everything. Suicide may have seemed to you to be the easiest solution but it isn't. What if someone could offer you a glimpse into your future and what you saw was awesome. You would miss out on that. I gather from your later posts that you've rethought the suicide thing. I hope this is so. And as you've seen from posting here, there are a lot of people who are here for you to talk to so please take advantage of that.
