Breast Implants as a Graduation Gift?

Question

This is only for an article I'm writing. I just want your opinions and thoughts
What is your opinion about parents who buy their daughter breast implants as a graduation gift?
Also what do you think about the girls who ask for them?

When i say girls who want them, i mean the girls who just graduated and are asking their parents for them.

Answer 1

I think it depends on the situation. As a graduation present I don't think that is so much a good gift. As far as girls who want them I think you should wait till your body is fully developed and if you are real self conscious about small breast or you've had children or beast cancer or it is to make you feel better about yourself then it would be o.k. I used to not care for implants but after two kids and I'm only 25......I could use some fullness back to my cleavage!lol

Answer 2

I think the only reason to get breast implants is if and only if the girl has next to no breasts at all. The daughter asking for breast implants doesn't know what she wants in life - she hasn't even experienced the real world yet! I think a better and more responsible graduation gift would be something for college or a trip...but definitely not implants!

Answer 3

I would never give a girl that type of gift. If they want to do that to their bodies they can pay for it themselves.

I really think parents should encourage their children to love their bodies for what they look like now.

The parents should really research the procedure as well as all the negatives and complications that other women have endured and what the long term risks are.

They should make sure their daughter has researched it to death as well. So many girls go in without the knowledge and research that they should be doing.

I also feel most do it for the wrong reasons.

To get a guy: fyi guys love all sizes, and hate the feel of implants. Do NOT ever get implants because you want to get a guy or want to keep a guy. He should love you for who you are.

Teased by others: who cares? ignore the wisecracks and love your body. People will tease you about anything. They tease big breasted as well as small breasted people. They will find all sorts of reasons to tease you.

But, ultimately, it is up to the girl. I think they need to wait until they are at least 25, see at least three plastic surgeons, ask tons of questions, and just really research what they are going to do to their body... inserting foreign objects into oneself sounds odd.

Answer 4

I don't think that asking for a loan would be a problem but straight out asking for that much money seems a bit silly.

I just had a Breast Reduction and would love if I didn't have to pay my parents back the AU $11,500.

My parents gave me a watch when I graduated. For me personally I wouldn't even spend $1000 for a graduation present let alone $10,000. I just can't imagine anyone spending that much money simply for a child graduating.

Answer 5

Absurd and foolish. Unless you are talking about some sort of reconstructive surgery post accident or due to some sort of disease. Girls that age have no concept of the risks and couldn't care less that 10 years later they may want to (or need to - depending on their situation) breastfeed their baby. How shallow (here honey, to show you how much we admire all your hard work we're going to give you bigger breasts!!). What is THAT? As far as the girls asking, they are young and don't have a grasp of the big picture if they are asking for implants. They are vain and foolish.

Answer 6

Well if the daughter has expressed to the mother that she want's implants then it would be a good gift because they are quite expensive. If she hasn't spoken about them at all then they would probably be a little awkward, insulting, or a big shock.
Its really an individual thing i think.

Answer 7

That's a little wierd...and are you talking about High School Graduation? or College Graduatiom? Well, either way, I think there are better things you could get as a graduation persent...vacation, jewelrey, money for college or to help pay loans, a car, and whatever else a student wants.

Answer 8

Implants are not a good thing. It shows what is most on their minds, their looks, guys...etc. Parents really should stress that looks are not always what attracts a man. I would seriously discuss it with doctors and other who have had them done. Down the road when the biological clock is ticking, what then? Irreversable damage? You never know.

Answer 9

I never had a problem with needing breast implants. But if I were small chested I wouldn't see anything wrong with it. If I had a daughter and she asked for them (and needed them), I would research to find the best doctor but I wouldn't see anything wrong with it at all.

Answer 10

thats up to the parents and child. however, if a parent goes along with this decision, its like telling your child you dont accept them or their inadequacies and could actually further lower the self esteem of the child. girls arent done developing by 18 necessarily. tell her to wait till shes 21. if by then shes still dead set on breast implants, well then get them.
