In Venezuela, girls celebrate coming of age at 15. (believe it or not) Apparently the latest fad is to give breast implant surgery as a coming of age gift.
The surgery is advertised on TV and banks even give a line of credit for the operation!
They haven't finished growing by then.

Hi MsTickle. Yes that's insane! These girls are learning that beauty is really important which is wrong. Besides, like you said, they haven't finished growing yet. How sad. It's no wonder this world is going to hell in a hand basket. Look at what it's coming to. So sad.

How stupid is that! I dont understand why people want it done at any time, never lone at 15. Ithink the doctors have a lot to answer for if they do this to such a young child, as they are stillonly children.
Hope your keeping well, and best wishes

You are right in saying that these girls haven't even finished growing yet. I could understand it if lets say they were over eightteen but so young at teh age fifthteen no. I don't think Doctors should perform any kind of surgery on a minor like that. I mean it could ruin their lives later especially with all the stories you hear about them leaking and such and causing health problems. Why would someone want to put their child through that? That is some insane coming of age gift as you said it would be better or more appropriate if it was a graduation gift maybe a tattoo for a coming of age gift I could see but not boob jobs. NO matter how much it supposedly boost confidence in girls.
