Honestly, who cares what the other people might think? Are you stretching for you or them? Something I learned in high school was that it really didn't matter what the people around me thought of me. Regardless of what I did they still viewed me the same way.
Point is, if you want the stretched look, but can't do it now, there's no shame in looking at faux plugs. Some even have O-rings on them to look more real. If, on the other hand, you are stretching for the experience, you may just have to wait for now. It sucks to hear, but it is what it is.
I know that a lot of people in high school are all into stretching their lobes right now to show how hardcore they are. They will regret it later. It's not about the pain. If they really wanted to prove they were hardcore they would go and do scarification. That shit hurts. HURTS. Especially with the aftercare regimen. Irritating the wound, pulling off the scabs to reopen the wound, scrubbing, alcohol... Yeah. Constant pain for weeks or months. That's hardcore. Lol
Point is, earlobe stretching is not something that should hurt. If you like the burn, when you turn 18 you should try getting a tattoo. Be careful, though. It's addictive. Lol
