It's not really about ending all bullying. It's more about her being happier and more confident, which will naturally lead to less bullying, and a better life overall.

And then when you left for college, the kids didn't know about it so that ear-bullying stopped completely.

Next time read the friggin article. We're not talking about big noses here.

Even if that were true (which it isn't), she'll eventually go off to college and nobody there will know.

These aren't kids who are chubby or have poofy hair. These are kids with facial DEFORMITIES.

The doctors obviously disagree with you. I saw it easily.

When we try to change society, we need to make sure the sacrifices needed are our own, not done on the backs of poor, handicapped kids.

You do realize you're making your judgement based on the "after" pic, right?

Hey, feel free to be the one who goes to these kids and tell them they have to keep their facial deformities so that you can hope society itself changes.

No amount of growing fixes hemi-facial microsomia.

Nah, your face is pretty done growing when you're 15.

No, that's not the before. That's the after.

What you basically is that they'll make fun of her because there's something intrinsically "weak" about her that predators pick up on.

That's actually complete and total bullshit, nothing but pure victim-blaming. Most of these kids say the bullying stops.

So we should make these kids with physical deformities suffer in the name of social reform?

Which brings us back to why I think it should probably be an individual thing.

The article quotes one guy as saying that, and studies don't back him up.

Everyone is born with low muscle mass. They're babies.

Hell if I know.

Also, if the most humiliating thing is for a man to be humiliated by another man, women aren’t really in the picture at all.
