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
