I had to put up with being called ‘ugly’ throughout my childhood. My face was asymmetrical; still is that way. Much later men told me I was beautiful, but that isn’t really important, at least not to me.

Back then, there was nothing that could be done. In high school my best friend, who had an enormous hooked nose, underwent plastic surgery, and it changed her life radically - and all for the better.

So this little girl had her ears done; so what?

I think she looked darling with those ears, but I’m neither her nor her mother. My opinion doesn’t count, and that should be the way it is.

Seriously. What a BS title. Its not like she got a boob job. Pinning back ears has been done for years on little kids. I even remember a black and white TV episode of "Leave it to Beaver" where one of the kids discussed with his parents having it done by a doctor.

Nothing wrong in loving parents working to improve things for their kids.

Bullies, though, will find any reason to attack those whom they happen to dislike.

I have the same kind of ears. It doesn’t matter much at my age now, but when I was a kid, and even during my Navy years, it was a pain in the ass. Especially, since I also have bad hearing and had to suffer jokes and lame humor about that as well.

If it had been available back then, I would have walked barefoot across country to get that kind of surgery.

You express my feeling, exactly. Your opinion does count.
