Just as I thought, a fat and unattractive mother trying to press her thwarted desires on her child. :rolleyes:
That was my immediate reaction as well! The mother can't be that old, mid 30's maybe - it would be far better for her to spruce herself up a bit and spend 2 hours doing her own hair and make-up every morning. Her daughter isn't a doll to play dress up with. And giving a child the notion that she has fat legs when she patently hasn't, is shocking.:(

She's a pretty girl, but what a dimwit!
Doesn't want to be a teacher - 'It's borin' - I wanna glamorous life'. Just wait until she leaves school, the only job she'll be capable of is serving burgers in Maccy D's and dropping her well lacquered hairs in them.
I didn't watch the interview, but I read the Mirror article and it made for horrific reading. The young girl and her mother are obviously not the brightest of sparks, are they? They seem to think that just because Katie Price looks good (although that's highly debatable), has pots of cash and is in the papers and on telly that she has "the perfect life" when it's blatantly obvious that KP is one messed-up individual with a plethora of issues and deep-rooted unhapiness.
Shame on her mother for not putting her daughter straight...and shame on GMTV and The Mirror for giving these two the publicity they crave.

Exactly. It really annoys me that a lot of teenage girls would rather do anything to live the glamorous lifestyle but when it really comes down to it they simply aren't prepared to do a hard days graft like others.
The mother is a total moron who should be making sure her child is put on the straight and narrow by simply telling her "No" rather than pampering her every morning or telling her she can have a boob op. She must've realized she's too fat and unnatractive to live her own dream so she's living it through her kid. :rolleyes:
The girl needs to be brought back down to earth and made to realise that make-up, curled hair and having a boob op just doesn't guarantee you automatic fame and fortune and it isn't the be all and end all.
It makes me sick that these youngsters are looking up to the likes of KP and WAG celebs but they haven't got a single brain cell between them to realize that they're nothing but a bunch of slappers who got lucky.
Some of them can't do the simplest of things such as boiling an egg, but I bet most know how to apply makeup to precision or give a HJ.
I made sure I didn't see this. Mothers and children like that offend me greatly. The mother may think in her warped little mind that she's giving her child everything she wants... but she's doing so much damage its unreal. Allowing them to dress in such a way at such a young age implies to the child that they NEED to look like that every day to be confident in themselves.
I don't understand kids today. There was nobody in my school (not really anyway) that wanted to be glamour models, or famous for being famous. At least not until the likes of Big Brother came around :mad: I always wanted to be a scientist, and my dream is coming true. It's not about money, or social status or glamour. It's about doing something worthwhile that makes you happy and allows you to appreciate the simpler things in life - i.e. the things that money can't buy.
Shame on that mother. The authorities should be called - isn't it illegal to have a boob job until you're 18? Unless its for medical/psychological reasons?
Absolutely appalling, read the Mirror story the other day.
Can't believe any mother would be happy for her daughter to be that bad. Maybe in 20 years time once her daughter has fake saggy boobs, has turned a weird shade of orange, shagged her way through a few hundred z list celebrities, sold the stories to OK magazine, appeared in many topless and naked photoshoots and starred in a porno film or two, maybe, just maybe the mother might have some sense of shame about what her daughter has become. However, I seriously doubt it.

Not really. Take away the make up, the faux expression and she is very, very ordinary. There are plenty of naturally pretty girls who could run rings around someone so overly styled.
As for the Mother - no wonder such a hideous chubby munter is trying to live her life through her daughter.
Awful.Yet again i blame the parents who are encouraging
this behaviour and are showing absolutely no concern or guidence to these impressionable young girls, but are actually instigating alot of this shocking trend.Shame on them:mad:

She'll be on Snog Marry Avoid in a couple of years. Mind you, by then it'll probably be called Shag Knock Up Avoid by then..
According to the girl Jordan has the perfect life. What part of her life is perfect; having a kid and the dad doing a runner, the kid having special needs, getting a divorce, dumping your new guy on live tv, having nannies raising your children, getting dozens of boob jobs, throwing yourself infront of cameras going 'look at me!', or the appalling singing? I may go on GMTV and say I am ugly, live a bog standard home with a bog standard job (teaching) and income and I am probably 10 times happier than Jordan will ever be

Yes. It shows how society has changed. For the worse in that respect. When I was at school (late80s-early 90s)the attitude to "glamour modelling" was totally different. We had the supermodels and many of us wished we could be a "model" although few would have done more than wish. But glamour modelling was seen as a joke, the seedy side of modelling. What you did if you were not "good" enough to be a normal model. You would never have aspired to it.
Now it seems to have acquired respectability. "Hey, they're earning a living! I've got a great body, why not show it off?". But to me it is cold. You are selling your private parts and images of yourself in sexual positions.
Porn was also a joke back then. It was a bit disgraceful and the preserve of teenage boys and dirty old men. Ditto boob jobs. I remember the first girl I knew to get a boob job (late 90s). Everyone was laughing behind her back and she was seen as frivolous and vapid. Qualities that now would probably be a compliment!
It horrifies me when I read about things like this. I'm only a year older but have a completely opposite view to her.
She should count herself lucky, she is probably very pretty under all the make-up and stuff and she has no need to change her looks, compared to me. I was the one who was bullied at school so much for wearing glasses I decided to change to contact lenses as soon as I turned 12. And dieting at that weight is ridiculous, I am the same height and weigh a little under 9 stone and manage to fit into 8-10 clothes fine - that certainly wouldn't be considered fat.
I may sound hypocritical after I just said I changed from glasses to contacts, and that, in a way, is changing my appearance. Really, it was just a way to boost my confidence to get myself out of the habit of sitting there, biting my nails, thinking no-one wants to talk to me. It seems to have helped, sometimes I go out and wear my glasses in public now, thanks to the reassurance of some great people who have stuck by me, like my parents. If only Katie's family would reassure her that she is fine as she is, rather than encouraging her to be something she's not, maybe she would get more confidence in herself rather than hiding behind the 'glamourous' mask of silicone and anti-aging chemicals.
I'm still not a very confident person, yes I do still think I'm ugly. But I've got used to this skin of mine, any change now would just make me worry about what people might think about the change, and I would never do something I'm uncomfortable with for a supposed self-benefit.. I dread the mandatory things such as a haircut.. the laugh and taunts of my snob-nosed sister when I step through the front door..
Yesterday, my boyfriend told me I was beautiful. I looked like I had just walked into an onion factory. He knows I wouldn't change my ugly cowardly self for the world, especially not for fame and general media-whoreishness; I'm a person who sticks to their principles and one of mine is that you get what you're given. To hear him say that made me happy to be myself.
You are truly happy with yourself when others love you when you come as you are.
PS I'm totally sorry for the essay but I've been thinking about looks and stuff a lot recently.. as you can tell. I'm also sorry for blabbing on about myself as I'm sure my story is not quite as relevant as I first thought it was to this thread when I first started typing this a quarter of an hour ago.

What a lovely post from a lovely young lady:)
How encouraging to hear your sensible views after all
the nonsense we've been reading about and seeing on tv.
Of course you are very lucky as you obviously have great
supportive parents, unlike some of these other young girls.
Also theres nothing wrong with wearing contact lenses,
thats just making the best of what nature gave you, and
i'm sure as your boyfriend has already assured you, you are
a beautiful girl.Continue to believe in your self, ignore those
who try to put you down and i wish you all the best, be
happy:)

What a lovely post. I doubt Jordan has ever been as happy or self assured as you come across in your post. I'm so pleased you've found your confidence. Keep it up!
The GMTV presenter actually said to the girl that she could be famous in a more worthy way, by being a famous teacher or lawyer. The child just looked appalled and said "That's boring".
Very sad.
And the mother needs someone to tell her what she is doing is tantamount to child abuse.
Couldn't agree more. It's parents like these who shouldn't have children. It's also very sad that the media are giving them so much attention.
Not only is she really pretty but she’s got the perfect life. She has beautiful children, is always on TV and she’s a great businesswoman with lots of money.
I think this comment out of the interview is what it boils down to. I have a teenage girl who is 18 and they see the rubbish that they do on tv and aspire to it.
When they have programmes like Sweet 16 and The Hills etc on MTV where spoilt little kids live the rich life having everything their darling little hearts desire, they don't watch programmes about people working hard to attain what they want.
Thankfully my daughter has her head screwed on, but some kids seem to think the only way to gain any worth in life is to the person who has the most designer gear, have extensions, false nails and see people like Jordan and Paris Hilton et al as being the people to aspire to.
Absolutely nothing wrong being ambitious and wanting more out of life but for some of the kids watching these 'role models' the Perfect life equates to fame, money, being on tele and looking pretty (albeit fake).

I saw that interview as well, and was absolutely horrified.
Apart from the obvious dangers involved in any kind of any kind of surgery, someone should point out to that stupid Mother that her child is still developing naturally in any case.
I would imagine the only way she`d get that done is by going private, as I can`t see any reputable Surgeon agreeing to operate on a girl that young...
I shudder to think what kind of values she`s growing up with!
As far as I'm aware it's illegal to give boob jobs to girls under 18.
To be honest, I wouldn't condemn the girl too much. The media may wag their fingers admonishingly at her and her mother, but it's they who hold out "the dream" to young impressionable people like her. Unfortunately, she has a mother who lacks the intelligence to be able to see through all the spin and point out that modelling is just a job, probably as boring as any other, and that very few girls actually get that much money or become famous at it.
Sounds to me as if this girl's 33 year old mother is desperately trying to find her daughter the life that she wanted. Her mother is the same age is me, but I was brought up believing that money had to be earned through nothing more than hard work and graft. Respect and hard work go hand in hand.
I honestly despair for young women. I feel that they are way less liberated than I was just 18 years ago at the same age as this daft young girl.
Holy crap, I've actually watched the GMTV interview and if that mother is 33, then I look sooooo fine for my age!

Amy Price doesn't seem too bothered.....
Not really. Take away the make up, the faux expression and she is very, very ordinary. There are plenty of naturally pretty girls who could run rings around someone so overly styled.

The mother would be better off spending some of that money each year on a subscription to the gym.
Pathetic woman raising her daughter to be a spoilt little madame who thinks looks = better than anyone else. What a fall she's heading for.
As for proper good jobs being 'boring', what exactly is 'exciting' about slapping your t*ts out for grubby old men to w*nk over?
Samsara and newwoman I salute you!
