Maybe youth really is wasted on the young.

I don't really know what to add to this.  It's just all kinds of wrong.

QuoteWrinkles? Whatever. Teens turn to Botox
Girls put the brakes on aging before it even starts

Reality TV fixture Kim Kardashian may have raised a few (unfrozen) eyebrows with her recent admission that she's already used Botox at age 30.

But for some young women, the question seems to be, "What took you so long?"

"I wanted to be cute, to look cute, but I had these ugly lines in between my eyebrows and on my forehead," says Stephanie Torres, 19, of New York. "So I asked if I could get Botox. My mom paid for it. It was like a little birthday present."

Torres, who went under the needle at age 18, is one of many teens and early 20somethings who are turning to Botox in an effort to not only smooth existing furrows, but fend off the aging process itself.

"We do a lot of Botox, and there's definitely a propensity for younger people doing it," says Dr. Glenn Vallecillos, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. "I'd say 30 percent of my clients are 20 to 25 years old and probably 5 to 8 percent are under age 20. The trend, at least at our offices, is younger people."

Statistics also suggest Botox use is trickling down even younger.

In 2009, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported 12,110 Botox or Dysport (another wrinkle-relaxing shot) procedures performed on patients 18 and under (in 2008, the number was 8,194) while the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found 11,889 cosmetic Botox/Dysport procedures were performed on patients age 13 to 19 (an increase of 2 percent from 2008).

I'm thinking parents have to sign off on these procedures right?  For the kids under 18.  I really want to meet the parent who thinks it is healthy for a 13 year old to want, much less get, a botox injection.

You'd be amazed what people will pay for ahead of the rent.

Dok,
Knows that they can't afford the jacked-up F350 with the gun rack and naked chick mudflaps, either.

Anyone else thinking it's the parents raising selfcentered brat ass kids who could use some serious poverty level time?

None of my children would even dream of asking me for something so fucking stupid.

Um.

1.  You're pretty enough to get yourself a boyfriend at will.

2.  Attractive?  You mean, hack at your face until all the character is gone and you're just another barbie?

I want my daughter to find a guy who likes her for who she is, not how well she stacks up next to a Cosmo model.
