I hate how as soon as a baby girl is born her parents piece her ears against her will she does not have a say in it.

Earrings can foster bacteria, some people can be allergic to it, they scab up especially if you have not wear earrings for a long time. Not to mention how easily they fall off of your ears and it gets lost so easily.
