I was teaching a class the other day and the topic was "making a wish." More than half my middle school girls wished for plastic surgery but were upset because their parents are making them wait until high school before they get plastic surgery. I was in awe. Is this really the social norm here?

Grad gifts might be a new nose or double eyelids. It`s sad but true.

I understand the eye thing because their mothers push it on them, but the chin shaping, nose jobs and trimming of the calf muscles is just insane.

Eyes, nose are the most common.

Chin shaping, calf muscle, and boobs are rare. Not many get them unless they actually have really wide jaw, or big nasty calves.
