My viewpoint on cosmetic surgery is that kids eighteen and under should not be having it. The goal of cosmetic surgery is to improve a person's appearance, and self-esteem by changing the way she or he looks. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on any part of the face and the body. Plastic surgery has many up and downs, and it’s not something that is good for you or your family. For one people turn to plastic surgery, kids can get hurt, it’s too expensive and too many kids are going through with plastic surgery. How many people do you think under eighteen actually do the surgery? Teens go to plastic surgery to try and fit in, but adults do it to stand out. Teens only want it so that they can have people like them, because when people make fun of someone they lose a little bit of their confidence each time. Studies show that there are around 166 children under 10 years …show more content…
The body image of a teen in the U.S. is overweight or you don’t look like a model. When teens who are buying a prom dress, they want something that fits tight and shape to their body. Then they don’t want to have curves, but you can’t hid what you have. Most of the operations cost $40,000, and wow that’s a lot.

The side effects could be getting burnt, being in pain, or infections. As I mentioned before teens need to think about the risks before proceeding. (Krishnan,
stories were different but one thing that they all had in common was the fact that everyone just wanted to get rid of their damn wrinkles. In chapter four, "Negotiating the Botoxed Self", Berkowitz (2017) talks about how cultural stigmas and tensions were shaped by their gendered, sexual, social classes and social locations. She found out from her research that no matter who it was, they always felt the need to justify it for themselves. Most of them chose to do it because they wanted to preserve their youth and beauty.
One thing that could change this though is if everyone knew what they were really going into once they have the operation. Although there are many themes in the book “Uglies”, the one that stood out to me is that we don’t all need to look pretty to be pretty. During their
15. Should teens be allowed to get plastic surgery without parental consent? This is a tough question. On one hand, the surgery might be pointless and in spur of the moment because the teen wants to look “perfect”. Some parents really do want the best for their kids and they know whether a certain surgery is necessary or not.
Technology used or abused? Imagine a world run by technology. This world will be a dream until the reality hits. Technology isn’t what people perceive it to be, it’s dangerous. Scott Westerfeld, Uglies, Science fiction novel.

Men and women nowadays are starting to lose self-confidence in themselves and their body shape, which is negatively impacting the definition of how beauty and body shape are portrayed. “...97% of all women who had participated in a recent poll by Glamour magazine were self-deprecating about their body image at least once during their lives”(Lin 102). Studies have shown that women who occupy most of their time worrying about body image tend to have an eating disorder and distress which impairs the quality of life.
