Tristesse.

Most depressing quote, about a 13 year old who wants to get breast implants:

(Announcer, V.O.)

And Jemma doesn’t just want bigger breasts. She wants them to look like they’re fake.

Feeling incredibly sad and outraged for 2 main reasons:

#1 – these teenage girls want to go under the knife at an age when they are not yet fully aware of the long-term repercussions of such serious surgery

#2 – for big media, who, by deciding to broadcast a program about teen plastic surgery, without the participation of experts weighing in, are essentially normalizing this behavior, making it appear a viable option. Totally irresponsible on their part. Where is Germaine Greer?
