[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, not now. Then, maybe. And again, I'm not saying parents should always encourage or entertain a teen's desire for plastic surgery. But 1) every case isn't mine and 2) parents should at least listen without inappropriately dismissing their kid's feelings. [/quote] This. I do think that it is a bad idea to get cosmetic surgery before a person has finished growing. Proportions can really change, and what is awkward and disproportionate on a child can be perfectly striking on an adult. That said, if a kid knows she's not pretty, telling her she really is does her a disservice. Take her feelings seriously, even as you remind her that she is beautiful to you, that she has other valuable gifts, etc., etc. [/quote]
