Bullied Teen Gets Plastic Surgery To Stop Name Calling

They'll just find anoher reason to bully her what parents should do is explain to their kids that they will always have to deal with some kind of bullying throughout their lives and to be comfortable with themselves enough so even if their bullied they know its the bully's issue not theirs.

The best way to stop bullying is stand up for your self and knock the shit out of them.

Plastic surgery will solve all our personal body issues. Great message to send to younger kids, especially teenagers. #STUPIDAMERICANS

Not wise. All her kids will look like the way she was. Will they need plastic surgery? I believe most bullying stops when you go to high school which is around 14 or 15. I was bullied until high school and then it completely stopped (43 years ago). Everyone is suppose to concentrate on studying when you go to high school.

did they remove her right ear?

I had to drop out of high school and go into online schooling because the bullying didn't stop. Just because it's high school, doesn't mean it's any better.

Yeah, its worse in high school

It doesn't stop in high school. People your whole life will make fun of you. Everyone's view of beauty is different and some people, if they don't like the way something looks, will be jerks and go out of their way to express it, usually in a negative manner. If I ever have kids, I don't care how much they beg, 14 is WAY too young. She's still growing!! She very well could've grown into her features. There's probably a guy or girl out there that would've found her beautiful the way she is. JFC she looks older than me and I'm 23…

this women talking is annoying, we are all beautiful, she has a superficial view point to a problem that doesn't get fix going under the knife. Inner beauty is more than outer beauty.

Way for her mom to basically AGREE with the bully's by allowing her to have the surgery! Such an ass for a mother, it's disgusting.

She looked fine beforehand. The only thing that will happen is that kids will find other things to point out. It makes perfect sense to have a child undergo cosmetic surgery because she got teased… I feel bad for her. By letting her do this, they've only told her that she wasn't perfect that way she was.

As a child who was bullied, I would have done anything…ANYTHING…to make it stop. I think these charities are doing a good thing for these kids. It's a charity, so it's not tax money; they can do whatever they want with this money without it being an issue over the necessity for cospetic surgery. For these kids, it is a necessity. Sure, they may tease her about getting plastic surgery, but that will go away with a little time and kids she meets in college, will never know the difference. The import thing is that she feels better about herself and no longer has to concern herself with what others might think about her ears. Bullying is never okay. Parents and schools need to do more to reduce it.

I think she looked good before and good now, problem is people or kids are ruthless and people out of school forget how hard it is. When I was in school I wanted to look like Harrison Ford, and if I could have changed my looks I would have. What's most important is how she feels and if she feels good about herself, I say good for her.

Plastic surgery wont stop bullying. They will just torment her for it. What she should have done was to stand up to the bullies and make them pay for it. I was tortured by my classmates for years. I was teased and beaten up every day for years. Finally I turned on them and beat the ever living tar out of the ring leader. Not one of them dared tease me ever again. 15 years later I ended up working with the ring leader who had beaten me up and she was still afraid of me. I told her… "you learned a lesson didn't you?" She said "yes. Fat kids punch hard."

Ok… number one who allows a 14 year old to get plastic surgery and two looks are not everything. This world is so vain that people get things implanted, or tightened or what have you. She looked better before, now she just looks fake….
The parents or parent of this little girl should have told her she is beautiful inside and out, not oh here honey go get plastic surgery.

As for bullies they always find something else wrong with someone and actually plastic surgery may get her teased more. Beauty is about how you are as a person, not if you have big boobs or a size zero waist….. when will the vanity stop……

I think this is also foolish. They should have taught her how to have the strength to endure and overcome. I am an American by the way. So please do be careful when using blanket statements like "stupidamericans" since your including myself who happened to agree with you. I understand your outrage at this but don't lump everyone with the fools please.

kids can be so cruel.

Unfortunately I understand where she is coming from. Yes, all kids are bullied at one point in their lives. Some more than others. And it may be mean of me to say this, especially as a former bully victim. But I clearly see why she was picked on. Big nose, big ears, narrow chin. If there were a picture of a bullied kid in a dictionary, she picture would be it. People are judged by their looks. And if she can find a way to stick out less, go for it. Just as long as she realizes that this is not a magic "cure all" to end her bullying, she made a good decision.

I think the girl should go to another school after she got surgery, cause there going to pick on her about that too.

I REALLY hope this isn't the beginning…

This is the most pathetic thing I've seen $40,000 go to. I got bullied in school, what did I do? Sucked it up, ignored it, sought help from teachers. I didn't beg for plastic surgery because I had small eyes. All this does is solve one child's case, why not attack bullying itself.

I agree with the guy with the glasses. This is wrong! Homeschool since parents who don't know how to raise their kids with respect are sending them to public school to torment the other kids. The problem is with the parents and tv telling us how we should look.

That kid is not the problem – her pain is from the ridicule she received from bullies. Notice how your first statement was about being irritated and not that she, like everyone, was beautiful regardless of her exterior? You judged her. Not everyone has had your upbringing. It is not good that she internalized the bullies' judgements about her appearance, but bullies are tenacious and at least now they are disarmed.

You are very right, but my main point was that we shouldn't say it is ok to have appearance altering surgery but we should be teaching kids that we are beautiful the way we are. she is someone (im guessing ) in a position of power and maybe its just me but saying its ok to change yourself isn't the right message we should be sending, its the way she came off that bothered me. the thing is I know what she went through having gone through it myself for my weight and the color of my skin.

I think she was beautiful before and is still beautiful. It breaks my heart that she has been so tomented by her peers. I challenge any young person reading this aticle to make a personal decision today to stand up for bullied children and stand against those who bully them. Without a support network, bully can't be bullies. Challenge yourself to be someone's hero and put a stop to bullying.

Easy for everyone to comment if they weren't born unattractive. give the kid a break. Woman are always judged on how they look, a kid is even judged harsher in middle and High School. If she is happy and now feels "normal" let her be. Doctors know more than the average lay person and if they felt all this needed to be done so be it.

And you wound up looking like Chris Reeve. Poor guy. :O)
