pressured to look nice

 

Not only are teens pressured to do illegal things they are pressured to look nice too. Many girls want to be the skinny girl and the big boobs and most guys want to be the guy with big muscles that looks tough. In this one article this girl quotes,"I felt totally inadequate. I was completely focused on the middle area of my body as being really ugly."In this article it starts off with this girl stating how all her life she had a bad body image until she turned 16 and got liposuction. Teen girls get pressured by mostly by everyone to to become thin and beautiful. By the quote that was stated she felt insecure about herself and its not only her that goes through it, it's most girls that go through it everyday.In the article it states how other girls are getting surgeries to make themselves look more pretty. It also states that so many girls are getting it that it is becoming well accepted and almost becoming a norm. In another article it quotes,"It's a fact — some guys care just as much as girls do about their appearance." With this quotes it provides that guys care about their image too. In the article it talks about how guys don't talk about their self image and how they keep it built inside and without any feedback from friends and family they can get negative affects from getting pressured to look good.
 These two articles talk about how teen girl and teen guy work for their self image. They get pressured by their friends and believe it or not their own family. These two articles talk about how these teens would work on their image as if it was their job. That they want to look good and be perfect. That they want to look good to impress other people. These two articles brings up the point that teens want to look perfect. Look at the two pictures, the one on the left is a picture about a guy with nice arm muscles and looks buff. To many girl that is their dream guy cause he looks good. Now look at the right picture and see how the girl has a nice tan,nice hair,nice boobs,and what do you know shes thin. Most girls look for that because they think that is what guys look for and that and other girls who look like that are perfect. The two pictures are from the media which like i said play a huge role in teens getting pressured to look good.
 To me everyone is beautiful in their own each way. There is no more perfect,perfect dose not exist. People will always make a bad remark about a person and say "oh their hair is ugly" or "Oh wow,look at that nose". Teens have to relax and take a breather because no one is ugly and there is defiantly no perfect. That they have their whole life ahead of them and not to worry.
