Peer-Pressure is a mo-fo at that age.

Could also have been a graduation present from mom and dad.

In any case, a real-life example of vanity as one of the seven deadly sins.

So tragic to see a promising young life ended in such a pointless manner. Breast augmentation was the last thing this girl needed to be successful.

You have no reason to believe that .... but I bet you're right.

Judging by the pic of the young lady posted earlier in this thread she was beautiful. She didn't need that procedure.

I had out-patient hernia surgery a couple of years ago, and could have just as easily died from that as this girl did from breast surgery. Although my surgery was, IMHO, medically necessary, I wouldn't have had it if I had seriously thought I was going to die.

Kids today seem far more likely to get tattoos and piercings, and cosmetic surgery is seen as just another thing. This is kind of a freak accident.
