Make this little dumbass's life worth something by sending a strong message
to other young women that vanity can cost you your life. Any "teen" who
gets breast augmentation is .ed up and needs counseling. Her parents are
also to blame. She's dead, dead, dead and dead forever and ever and ever
and ever and if I have to drag her name thru the mud so that just one other
"teen" gets the message so be it. It's worth it.
