There's nothing wrong with that, but when it involves damage to their health or even a risk to their life in seeking their goal then, that is where any responsible parent, friend or employer should say No! After all, it is not what nature intended us to be - a walking skeleton and so many youngsters (especially the females) are like sheep and follow on regardless of the consequencies. Fashion is an 'industry' and the health & safety at work act should therefore apply. From a man's point of view, a skeleton wrapped with a thin layer of skin is not at all attractive.

And what I think of THAT is the subject of my latest post on Liberal Polemic...
