I want to know what is wrong with the parents of the girl who had a mastectomy at age 14 (or so, a sophomore in high school)? What in the he!! were they thinking? And what is wrong with the surgeon who performed to operation?
Adolescence is a time of topsy-turvy hormones and emotions, and kids at this age often don't know who they are from one moment to the next. And for this girl's parents to help her mutilate herself - no, to encourage it - is beyond unbelievable to me. I think they should be charged with child abuse, or something. I fear this poor girl will one day realize what she did and will be emotionally scarred forever. God, I pray that I am wrong.
It sounded as though the girl wanted to be a boy from the time she was little. I wonder what to do about such things. Maybe she/he is intersexed, or maybe just needs estrogen therapy. She certainly does not have the um--equipment to be dating other girls...
