a book that makes surgery seem less scary is good.
but objectifying a woman as a barbie doll is unacceptable.
kids will think that this magic thing called plastic surgery is a source of love and beauty.
What kind of crap do people teach children nowadays?
I sort of expected it though.
No one's happy with their appearance when someone mentions that they have 'baby fat' or a big nose. So why wait for someone to tell your kids that? It's much better to tell them yourselves! (<-Sarcasm)
But I'm saying this is like the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Also, for those who don't understand why I find this psychologically misleading for young children...
As we all know, children want to be like their parents.
It's a natural step of life, it helps us grow and understand the world around us so we can survive.
At a younger age, they tend to like the mimic the things their parents like to do, such as doing little chores around the house, helping their mother cook, all of that good stuff.
A mother or father is a role-model for a child, and they strive to be like them in their youth.
Now, if in this book a child's mother is getting plastic surgery, they aren't actually telling the child to encourage their mother to get plastic surgery; in all actuality, they are trying to convince the child themselves to get plastic surgery when they are at age to do so, because a mother influences her child.
Of course, that won't be apparent at first for the child, they aren't going to want plastic surgery after reading the book. It's all subliminal messaging. I believe the producers of this book will hope it will lead to the child subconsciously recalling the book when hearing of plastic surgery as they are grown, and be more subject to actually getting plastic surgery. I may not be explaining myself perfectly, but if you grasp what I'm saying and you add it all up, it makes sense.
Stupid conspiracy shit.
Wow... just when you think humanity can't get any fricken stupider...
I can't believe they're targeting CHILDREN for this kind of shit.
Yeah, "my mommy looks pretty and that is all that matters". -__-
A beautiful mother is one who makes an effort to take care of her children, not necessarily one who looks flawless.
Usually the flawless looking ones are irresposible drunks.
And teaching little kids that beauty is on the outside...? My god.
You know, society seriously needs to stop contradicting itself... if so many people are worried about teenagers and their drugs, sex, and whatnot, then why the hell are they putting this crap out on the markets for little children to read? The memory of a book like that will carry onto their teenaged and adult years, therefore making them obsessive over their appearance. -__- It will also make people more vulnerable to being under the influence of things for they're being attacked at a very young, innocent, and insecure age. -sighs-
Flat-out disgusting... it's a complete outrage, and I think that disgrace of a desensitizing, psychologically misleading "book" shouldn't be allowed to be on the shelves.
Good job writing the article, though.
yes let us tell kids that natural beauty is absolute trash and with plastic surgery we can make ourselves more beautiful.as if kids arent insecure already
That is absolutely disgusting.
The world is going to get so fucking shallow and plastic that we'll have no room for REAL PEOPLE with REAL BEAUTY who live REAL LIVES.
Meh, now kids are going to beg their parents for plastic surgery because they're "too ugly." Why can't people just give kids time to be kids? It's like they're growing up too fast, putting way too much make up on their face, making them look like clowns, and dating when they're in like 4th grade.
Wow, I mean you aleady see 9 year olds with make-up caked on to their small faces, do they want teens to radically get a nose job.
It's not sending a good message.
okay its just a book to help parent explain to their kids wut they are doing and what to expct i mean how scred whould you?
Parents parent differnt ways and just let them do it as long as they are not hurting the child emotionlly or phsically i am cool
if the parents dont like the book they wont read it to their child it fine this is over blown!
i am sorry about spelling i know i suck
People are truly twisted these days--it's terrible. What HAS our world come to?
