Social pressure and beauty for teens

Pro:
• Fashion labels concerns get rich (good for business)
• Everybody is looking for themselves (hygiene, fashion…)
• Boots self- confidence
• Beauty is success in our society, so why shouldn’t people make them beauty?
• Because of the high demand, there is more work for people
• We live in a free country, so everyone should be allowed to do with
his/her body whatever he/she likes

Con:
• Social pressure because it’s not their own wish
• It’s a big risk to undergo surgery
• Addiction
• Teens haven’t finish their growth, so their body still changes
• You don’t get addicted, if you don’t look good
• A lot of teens buy more clothes than they have money
• Maybe they change their opinion, when they’re older, so it’s not good to
change your body in this age
• Teenagers get influenced by advertisements

Additional thoughts:
• Personality is changing
• Will there always be the same beauty ideal?
• Will the surgery age go down?
• Will beauty be the most important thing in life?
• Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?
• If you want to do that you do it, no matter if your mother also had a
plastic surgery or not.
• Teenagers exaggerate with the beauty ideals
