Cupid Candy
sarNie Coma
I'm underage and I wear a small diamond ring. I was trying on my grandma's ring and she asked if I wanted one and I said yes. So on my b-day she bought me one. I have worn diamonds ever since I was little so I don't think it was weird. People always come up and ask me if I'm engaged, like actual adults and classmates and their seriously asking. My friend (who's white) told me it was stupid to wear one if I'm not engaged. My mom told me in Cambodian, Thai, Laos culture you can wear a ring, as long as it's not on your wedding finger. I don't even wear it on my left hand ring finger. I wear it on my right hand middle finger. I'm tired of people asking why I'm wearing a diamond ring, yes it's real, yes I'm not engaged. This substitute teacher even asked why I'm wearing it, who gave it and is it real. She even looked at me strangely. Even my 11 year old cousin wears one, she lives in Asia, it's ok to wear it there, no one asks you questions.
