"Revenge"? I could see a girl passing around the photo her ex sends her of this woman and saying, while laughing, "Oh, my god, THIS is what he likes? I dodged a bullet!"

The doctor is trained to save my life. The tattoo artist/body modifier? Not so much.

Transformation is part of being human. The desire to transform is part of being human. It's not always about hating what you are. But knowing you could be more what you want to be.

Underneath the appearance of it just being a comment meant to state an opinion, it's really about doing that bad parent thing where you say negative things to stop a behavior you think inappropriate or wrong.

"I don't have a misrepresentation in my head of what I look like. I didn't do my surgery to blend in; I didn't do it to look like anyone else or to fit in with anybody else.

Gonna eat ALL the feelings! Eat'em right up!

My comment is bigger than Woodson. I'm glad for you and chuffed that it worked out well. As I've said in other comments, some kids thrive being ambitious and busy. But not all. And those kids being put under the expectation of being something they don't even want to be is problem.

That may be true for you. It's not true for everyone. So, it's not a rule you can say say disproves anything.

"We want to see your emotion when it suits us" would be better, but may sound a bit harsh."

Just because you found the most basic bitches in the world and impressed them with your "The Notebook" level of romantic dumbfuckery is not impressive nor the fault of Jaden Smith.

"Bama lama lama, fie fie fie, gonna get high 'til the day I die!"

It was no different back in the day. Check out "Monterey Pop", for instance. A lot of famous people in very expensive "hippie" outfits trying very hard and being very high.

"What exactly is she expecting a teacher to do?"

I had to look Miles Teller up. The sheer number of basic white bitches in movies right now is STAGGERING.
