  This is a heated issue for sure. I'm not one to take either side. I too am a mother and have thought about having my breast lifted after losing the perk they once had. As a single mother i think it'd boost my self esteem and make day to day life a little more enjoyable instead of always thinking wow if only i could wear this or that like i used to. In the case of teenage girls, after highschool is real life and maybe the boob jobs are a way to boost their self esteem as well. As a parent i don't know that I'd buy my child a boob job, but I wouldn't be against her idea to do it for herself. Some parents just have more money and I'm sure they see it as giving their child a boost for life, not telling them or other girls that they aren't good enough. Many girls already feel this way due to our movie stars and idols that are so commonly seen getting plastic surgery. So what's dif from a mother wanting to fix her not so perky boobs or a teen wanting to up a cup size or two? We do it for the same reasons! :)

  First off, I wouldn't because they are too young at that age and it's too expensive. Once she is out on her own she can afford to do whatever she wants. Aside from that, I would hope that she would feel good enough about her own body (unless it's a pain/discomfort issue) that she would not look to changing her beautiful self. I think the whole plastic surgery thing is so over-the-top and ridiculous. What happened to growing old gracefully like our mothers and grandmother do/did? I just don't see the point when it's only purpose is to change your looks. It sends out the wrong message in my book.

  Let her pay for her own boobs! This is unbelieveable!. There are really women out there who do this on a daily basis for their children. I dont even have words for this kind of crap.

  i hate to be the only one here that thinks this is a good idea. i mean being a women of big breast myself. in high school i was only looked at for sex or to be made fun of. if my parents gave me a boob job for graduation, id love them even more so!! i don't understand as to why everyone thinks its a bad thing that people get boob jobs in the first place. if its purely cosmetic then yes, it could be a bad thing. depending of course on the situation. but in my case. i love my body. every curve!! but sometimes trying to find a dress or top that is situtable for my body is hard. and i wouldnt mind having a smaller top!!

  Too young to be getting boob jobs just out of high school. They should wait until they start sagging..lol

  Kids shouldn't get expensive graduation gifts anyway. It's their duty to graduate, it's not something they should be overly awarded for.

  There's a couple in my town who bought their daughter a brand new 2010 Camaro for her graduation gift. Talk about spoiled. I think it's just totally wrong.

  I find it to be a sickening thought on its own. People should appreciate what they have been blessed with. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't feel good enough about themselves to walk around in their own skin. The fact that parents are encouraging this is just awful because it would seem, to me, to be a "you need to change this about yourself because you're not perfect" or "you aren't good enough just being youself." It's just really sad and weird.
