Degrading oneself for vanity

A student has posted topless photos of herself on the Internet in order to win a photo shoot. What is also appalling is her responses and her parents' as well.

She claims her boyfriend supports her move and he is a long-term partner. What she needs to know is that he is being the devil's advocate, pushing her towards the path of superficiality. I don't know if he will still stand by her as she loses her physical assets with age. If he can support such a thing, it serves to prove my point.

To her, this focus on her body is fun and makes her happy. I am speechless with horror. Then she says she would not model full-time because she would get bored. Such a fleeting mindset.

Then her parents say it was up to her to do what she wanted. Such a statement should not come from parents! They have the responsibility to teach morality to their children. She is only 20 and so she is not yet an adult. She is still under their authority. Their concern is only whether this move would affect her future. Such a worldly worry.
