Not a chance. There's no reason to mess with mother nature at such a young age.

    I don't want my two teenage daughters thinking they have to be "upgraded" with poison. Don't we put enough social pressure on our youth!

        I laugh at the whole confidence argument. Confidence does not come from a vial. I think truly confident women don't worry about such things

              Nothing like telling your teen that they are not good enough JUST AS THEY ARE and allowing them to have poison injected. That is just SO wrong on so many levels. I would think doing something like that so early would actually have the opposite effect and make them age faster. I mean, what will they look like in 20-30 years after paralyzing their faces during their growing and formative years??????

              Well, because they will become addicted to these surgical procedures they will end up looking like plastic masks with startled looks...and if they get to a point where they can no longer afford these procedures they will go into a deep depression because they won't be able to take looking at themselves in the mirror

              It's bad enough that she is giving her 8 year old botox but the fact that she is the one doing it herself how crazy is that I thought you had to go to school for something like that
