Breast ironing Culture

 Most girl child developing breast around the age of 8-11 undergo breast ironing.

The growth of their breasts are suppressed to avoid drawing attention to themselves at an early age, or to prevent them from having big breast later on.

Tools used are flat wooden stick, grinding stone which are either smeared or beaten against their breasts. Belts are also tightened on their chest or the elbow is rubbed against the breasts.

The general believe is that it works. But for me, I see that as a form of abuse and shouldn't be encouraged. What do you think?
