Hi Joy, 

Thanks for sharing your student's story. It made me upset to hear that the parents continued to pressure the child, but after reading your explanation, it also makes sense why they would do so. They really do believe that by getting cosmetic surgery their child will be successful in the future - wanting what is best for their children. I also thought it interesting that they yearned for society's approval of not only their child, but also of themselves (having enough wealth) - caring very much about what others think about them.
