Wednesday, May 07, 2003  A teenage girl and her supportive mother  On the Today show's "Nips, Tucks and Teens" series (oooohhh, what a clever title): an interview with a teenage girl who said her mother had been telling her since she was 13 or 14 that she would get plastic surgery. (I'm pretty sure it was "would," not "should.") The girl said she resisted the idea at first, but changed her mind when she realized she continued to have low self-esteem. Ummm...could her low self-esteem not be related to having an imperfect nose, but to having a mother who's been telling her for years that she's so hopelessly unattractive she needs surgery to be presentable? Just speculating, mind you... [ at 10:08 AM • by Abby • permalink •   ]
