[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 8 years old and to be frank, her ears stick out quite a bit. I have never mentioned it to her and always told myself that when she is older, IF she brings it up, I will let her get them pinned back. In my mind I always thought older would be like 14. Well, I was wrong. Last night she came to me after her younger sibs were in bed asking to have a "deep" chat. She basically said she hates her ears and wants them fixed. She claims no one is bullying her or making fun of her and she has come to this decision on her own. I am so nervous to let my "little" girl have. "unnecessary" surgery. I didn't think she would become this self conscious this young and it makes my heart ache. One side of me whats me to schedule it ASAP so she doesn't have to feel this way but another side of me makes me wonder if I am sending the wrong message by letting my 8 year old get plastic surgery. Ughhh this is so hard, even though in my mind I always thought this would be a no brainer when the time came. I want her to feel confident how she is and know that she is perfect, but I also don't want to set her up for years of unnecessary stress and possible teasing. Opinions? What would you do?[/quote]
