Short answer: Because i wanted to feel something
I was going through a tough time with my mom, you know, as teens do sometimes, and one of my friends at the time just happen to be giving $15 piercings in the school bathroom. So, impulsively, I gave the girl my money and the next morning I got my septum pierced in my school bathroom. I wouldnt ever do it again, sketchy as a mf and I got lucky, since the person she did after me was pierced very incorrectly and bled profusely. Although mine is done perfect (as perfect as bathroom septums get lmao) but again, I DO NOT RECCOMEND NOR CONDONE THIS. But please if you ever wanna feel alive, get a piercing babes!! (just not $15 bathroom ones!). I always suggest getting a piercing or tattoo or changing hair colors as some form of coping mechanism, it makes you feel fresh and powerful. At least, that’s how it makes me feel lol.
