    A girl's breasts aren't even done developing at 18.

    It's becoming too common for moms to give their daughters new boobs for their high school graduation. That's just sick.

    And she was 18 so she maybe could do it on her own, but she had to have the money. I'm sure her parents would have known.

    I'm floored. Any adult who particpated in this event deserves Starman justice. And I'd say the same had the surgery been a "success." No way should this have been allowed to happen.

    Does anyone think the writer was trying to weasel in something between the lines with the following?

    Kind of seems, to me, like he's trying to cut her down. Regardless, an absolutely tragic story.

    I didn't get that impression.

    At 18, you are old enough to be shipped out to Iraq. An adult.

    Sad story. More for why she died than for the fact that she died.

    She was a beautiful girl, I guess. And she was desperate to be more beautiful, for whatever reason. Many would say she was beautiful enough as she was.

    And yet she thought she had to have more.

    Was she misguided, or is American society misguided here?

    "Wow, look at her rack. She must be cool."
     
  10. Very, very sad story. This person must have had some serious self-esteem issues.

    A couple of things:

    1. Whatever happened to stuffing tissue paper in your bra? One girl in my class my sophomore year did that and went from a chest flatter than west Kansas to a C cup ... and regretted the day ever since.

    2. Ironic this thread was started by someone called Kid Presentable.
     
  12. Kids I can understand being bothered about their looks. It's the fucking parents that blow my mind.

    I'm very sorry they lost their daughter and I'm sure they are inconsolable, but D-A-M-N WTF are you thinking allowing an 18-year-old to get a boob job?!
