She was so worried she made her Mum take her to a doctor to explore the option of surgery. Kathy, now 18, is part of a new pilot study aimed at understanding why a growing number of Australian girls, as young as 11, are seeking cosmetic surgery on their otherwise normal genitals.

'Very upsetting'
The decisions we have made in how to raise our kids have been our decisions alone. I've been dating my girl for 5 years and we have just broke up because she told me she likes someone else but she say she still loves me I have been married for 8 months, my husband is starting his training in orthopaedics Never imagined my life will be like this The 3 years we were together prior marriage when he was an intern were not like this at all I read all the comments and I can see there no much hope for things to improve Constant absences, constants arguments, I have to make myself available when he is available, I am an architect, I have a demanding job myself, but still beings doctor seems to be a lot more important than my career. Is he aware that if your children are faithful members of the church they might end of marrying in the temple and he would not be allowed to attend the ceremony. How could I help a non-Mormon spouse to feel like a member of my ward family when he is not a member of my church. She will be surprised that a non-Mormon holds the same values she does and respect you.
