Growing up in a religious, conservative family, I can't say it's abnormal for a parent to have that sort of reaction, unfortunately, but it doesn't make it any more okay.
Moreover, at 18, you're a legal adult (presuming you are in the USA). They should be able to deal with you getting a small piercing at that age, and should respect the decisions you make, even if it isn't what they want.
I'm sorry your parents have those sort of reactions/use terms like that towards you, though.
is it normal for my dad to be this way?
