Teens Getting Botox -- What?!

Instead of buying your kid clothes for her 18th birthday, why not get her Botox?

The "thirteen-year-olds who get highlights and bikini waxes" trend is being put to shame by yet another disturbing trend: teen botox.

So what's up with this trend? We talked to famed Beverly Hills' Medical Care Clinic's Rand Rusher, who has Botoxed and Juvedermed Hollywood's most famous, for the truth about this disturbing trend:

"The youngest I've done is someone college age. But if a teenager comes in here asking for it, I tell them they need to settle down," says Dr. Rusher. Phew. "There truly is NO reason for them to start that early, but of course there are some people out there that just want to make money."

In our opinion a teen getting Botox is just nuts. We're glad the good doc agrees -- do you?

This is crazy!! An 18 year old has awesome skin that can bounce back. I have just started to think botox was maybe possible for myself and I am in the late 20s. I probably wont do this till maybe somewhere in my 30s but still crazy!

OMG you have GOT to be kidding me! I think the problem is the moms too—i mean, who is PAYING for this anyway, most normal people can’t even afford it. Our kids minds are in the wrong place if they are thinking about botox at 18
