What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Yup, time to get on the rant train again (whoo whoo..). Once again, I’m here to ask you, the wonderful people of who listens to stuffed bears rant, what the fuck is wrong with people. This is something I saw a few weeks ago. Actually, a few months ago now, but I’m just now getting to it. Delayed ranting. This, beyond other rants I’ve had so far, deserves the caption “What the fuck is wrong with you people”. The TV news segment was about the trend of young girls getting boob jobs and other types of plastic surgery. These girls were as young as thirteen.

That in itself is concerning, but wouldn’t necessary deserve a rant post on it. The next part of the program is where the big problem rears its head in my mind. The show then interviewed their parents, actually, just moms, and their approval and support of such procedures at such a young age. Instead of teaching their children that they should be comfortable and love who they are and what they look like, one actually muttered, “… she is a bit flat, and I think my daughter getting a new set of breasts would really help her in life, with getting friends, jobs, and everything in life”. WTF? Way to set back women’s movement back 20 years lady.

Now, you’re probably thinking, these girls are probably a bit on the non-attractive side, perhaps a bit undesirable. Nope. These were quite attractive. They were popular in school, receives good grades, school clubs galore, and no major trauma it seems. Somehow though, that’s not enough. Somehow they think that they that being phyiscally attractive is the only way to get ahead. Who could’ve taught them that I wonder?

The news reporter asked all the young girls why they felt they needed surgery? Was it for the attention, for getting boys? All of them quickly answered no. They answered the reason they wanted to get these surgeries was so that they can feel better about themselves. How sad is that?

I’m not arguing against people wanting to get any cosmetic surgery done on themselves, and especially after accidents and other medical cases. But in cases like this, where they are plenty attractive in the first place, you’ve gotta ask these parents, what the hell are you teaching your daughters or where do they get these ideas? A, they could be getting the ideas from you, which would make you an unfit parent, or B, they could be getting ideas from other people/media, which means you’re not very involved in your children’s lives, hence unfit parents again.

People talk about how great having children are, but how great are you to your child? Are you teaching them the right things? Setting them up for a healthy successful life? If you yourself isn't right in the head, more than likely, neither will your children. So is it more important to make yourself happy by having a child, or delaying it a bit and make sure you're ready so you can make sure your child will be happy during his/her life. Parenting is difficult and it's more than just making the baby.

Ok, that last part was a bit of a tangent. I guess I'm done.

There should be a class you have to take before you can procreate. Yes, I think I should write the questions for that test.
