If your ears ever bother you, Soak them in salt-water or buy a piercing spray from a tattoo shop.
Also, CLEAN THEM. I cannot stress this enough, Twice a day especially as they get bigger.
Do not push them! advance very slowly. I have 9/16ths, And they will close down one size in just a matter of hours. This is a good thing as it will keep you able to go down (Back to normal, too)
More important tips:
Use Stainless steel for when you are increasing. Nothing less.
Soaking them in super hot salt water will decrease intimation and when they get sore (Don't burn yourself)
Clean them before putting them - Alcohol is best.
And be careful, If it feels wrong, don't push. Blowouts = BAD.
As for hiding them, You can probably just take them out around your parents.
Not sure how old you are, but you know... Gotta listen to them and all that crap.
Good luck, Be careful, look the way you please. ♥

Different strokes.....
you need to keep your lobes cleaned daily to prevent infection.
hiding it should be easy at the size you're at now.
and don't listen to all the negative comments it's your body and I'm sure
you'll look great with stretched ears ^_^
I have gauges I'm at 9/16 but eventually I'll be at a 1" .
good luck !
due to over stretching to fast.
It takes time and people don't realize that they are ripping their ears
you can't just force or gauge up a size unless you want this outcome.

I also used crescents to get to where I am without pain or injury.
They can be found at hot-topic for pretty cheap all the way up to size 0
