Well done to Kym for raising awareness and I hope she isnt too badly affected now.

I wish this lady a really happy year after her ordeal. I also hope that this story serves as a message to people that it is far better to accept your given body as it is than to have surgical procedures that go against how you are designed to be.

At that age, girls have not finished growing and have not fully matured.
