How can parents encourage their 15-year-old daughter to get breast implants? We live in a time where looks seem to be more important that talent or logic. So maybe this shouldn't surprise us. But surprised is exactly what I am.
Like many teenage girls, looks are important to me. What should be more important though is confidence. The confidence to love yourself, especially your body, and to do what you want to do regardless of anything.
Jenna Franklin said she wanted to have breast implants because "you've got to have breasts to be successful". That's just lazy thinking. Being successful should take hard work and determination.
There is no doubt that people in the music and fashion industry are influenced by the wrong things, for example looks. But does this mean we, a new generation of young women, should lower ourselves to their level?
The easy way is not always the best way. In some industries it may be easier to succeed with large breasts, but it's certainly not the most rewarding way. Let's fight the exploitation of women's bodies - not support it!
