I teach middle school, and as I sit in the library right now...there is a 12 year old girl with BIGGGGGG hoops, 2 the same size in each ear. These things must be the size of dinner plates. Its enough to make me want to keep wearing my standard pearls. All of my kids want to know why I always wear big white dots in my ears. I have a second hole, but I haven't worn anything in it in years.
