Wansbrough, Liane. "Bodies Under Construction: Teen Cosmetic Surgery." www.fazeteen.com. N.p., 14 Nov. 2005. Web. 26 Oct. 2011.
This article states that the amount of cosmetic surgery in teens has increased. Some of the reasons for this are lack of self-esteem, high media coverage of the various surgeries, and it’s become acceptable to the public. One highlighted incident in this article is when a 15 year old girl decided to get breast implants for her sweet sixteen birthday. But cosmetic surgery isn’t just booming in the US, it’s also exploding in Asia and in other countries overseas. Many Asians have gone under the knife for work-related reasons. Procedures to increase height are one of the most common surgeries. The article concludes with an extra emphasis on low self-esteem of teens.
Reading this article confirms what I already assumed. The teenage trend of our generation is cosmetic surgery. The condition of teenage girls’ self-esteem is fragile. One little comment could throw a teen into a depression. In fact, with how much bullying has made headlines it’s no wonder teen self-esteem is all an all-time low.
This sounds like it was an interesting article to read. I also think you covered it well and I totally agree with everything you said in your last paragraph. You seem to be doing well with your topic. Keep it up! :)
