Nadia Ilse, Bullied Georgia Teen, Receives Free Plastic Surgery From Little Baby Face Foundation - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Pandamox;36989894]There was a kid back in my high school whos name was "Ben D. Dyck" (Bendy dick) and he used to be made fun of all the time. So he became a national-level wrestling champion and a bodybuilder and no one has made fun of him since. My point is having surgery for something which most people wouldn't really consider a deformity instead of overcoming it yourself in some other way is a bit dumb[/QUOTE] And some people, like this girl, can't overcome it themselves as easily as your example did and get help for it. I fail to see how it's dumb.

Why do people get so mad at surgeries meant to enhance people? Whether it be plastic surgery or even those fat removed surgeries people seem to get mad

From the before and after pictures it looks like the girl just needed a makeover. That before picture was probably her normal 'go to school' look. Yeah she's going to get a lot of abuse looking like that. The after picture has makeup and hair professionally done. The hair alone would have hidden the ears.

My ears are pretty big but that doesn't mean I needed $40,000 surgery + psychological counselling to get through my first year of high school, and yeah, my nickname was dumbo too during public school. I don't know how bad it was for her, but to someone who's been in that position, it seems like kind of a waste of money. [img]http://puu.sh/MLRi[/img]

[QUOTE=Sergeant Stacker;36986742]I've dealt with verbal abuse since I was in kindergarten. And so it ain't easy at times to disregard what they say, but it's obviously always better to not give in to whatever it is people are saying.[/QUOTE] We can look at it idealistically, or we can look at it in terms of "will my life be better for having this surgery?" That being said, the before/after pictures make this particular surgery seem ridiculous.

It really isn't that big of a deal. It was free pretty simple surgery. If I had ears that were really far out like that and someone offered to fix them for free I don't see why you would refuse

Where does it end though? What happens when she goes back to school and they say "Tits or GTFO"? Will she then 'need' implants?

[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;36986955]Here: [img]http://itsybitsysteps.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nadia-ilse-plastic-surgery.png[/img][/QUOTE] She looks just fine in the before image, especially considering she's caked with makeup in the after image. Pretty sure ear surgery doesn't change your complexion, after all. Pretty fucking manipulative use those two pictures when the ears are far from the only difference. This is totally the wrong idea. Bullies will always find some flaw. Changing yourself to stop them will never work.

I do think she was excessive in her efforts, but I think that that philosophy wouldn't hold true for more serious malformations. There was a boy on a National Geographic documentary series, an 8 year old with severe facial deformities from birth, and the parents were talking about how they had no interest in surgeries that weren't necessary for health reasons (e.g. breathing).

If bullies made fun of her for that long, it's not just because they think she has big ears.

I had the same surgery when I was 5. Luckily, TriCare paid for it because it was considered a deformity.

What sort of fuckin twisted society gone wrong shit is this I'm reading "oh no you are being bullied that is sad rather than teaching kids kindness and not to judge others for superficial things let's teach kids that you should change yourself physically to conform to societal standards for something as insignificant as ear orientation"

This really doesn't seem all that bad to me. [editline]30th July 2012[/editline] I must be a cunt

[QUOTE=Legolas;36987247]Think this foundation also reduces head sizes? I'm nearing the end of my school years and people still make fun of my bigger head :v:[/QUOTE] people have been poking at my head for 2 decades now. I tell em its called "Hudgins Head" (Hudgins is my mothers maiden name and that side of the family very commonly have large heads) and I wouldn't have it any other way. And come on! I like those ears! That is in no way a deformity, thats simply a difference! and [I]wow[/I] the after photo makes her look a [I]lot[/I] older.

i think she took the joke too far

hey guys let's judge her personal decisions because we are all her and are in her situation obviously.

This is stupid.

Ow, right in the self confidence

Ears are definitely a lot less noticeable in the second picture. If she's happy with the result, who am I to judge? Glad she doesn't feel bad anymore.
