i am 16, and started when i was around 13. My first NST was 15/30 and when 
i first got it, my parents weren't so much worried about if i was going to 
kill my self, just, what i was doing. I just told them that it takes .1 (i 
am not sure if this is true. It sounds good to me though) amps to kill 
someone, and this thing was only .03 amps. That seemed to help, a little.

right now, i am working on a 10" coil, and my parents are just worried 
about where i will keep it.

Take everyones advice on the safety advice. i probably wouldn't play with 
your NST at all until she gets used (she will, eventually) to it. Make all 
of your electrical connections sturdy (don't use paper clips) and good 
looking.

But, seriously, she will get used to it soon enough.

and if you get bitten, don't tell her.
