I agree that teenagers do care alot about their looks, some even to the extend of obsession. Teenagers now have to spend at least twenty minutes dressing themselves up before they would step out of their door. This is caused by many reasons. Some love their beauty alot and wants to appear in their best form in front of their friends. Some are just trying to follow the trend or to follow what the people around them do. Most teenagers prefer to follow how their idols dress, while some prefer to follow how their friends dress, in order not to be kicked out from the "latest fashion". Teenagers thus become more sensitive about their looks. While some are satisfied with their natural appearance, most do not have much confidence in themselves. Thus resorting to plastic surgery. Many adults are resorting to plastic surgery, causing teens to follow them as it is getting more popular. Many teens are thinking, "Many people undergo plastic surgery, so why can't I do the same?". Most teens think of plastic surgery, however, there are many restrictions to that. Firstly, most teens see their studies as something important, thus not having much time to even think of plastic surgery. Secondly, most parents will not allow their children to undergo plastic surgery. Most parents would want their children to concetrate on their studies and not getting obsessed over their looks. Thirdly, teenagers to not have the money to undergo plastic surgery. Most parents would not give their children money to undergo plastic surgery too. Lastly, plastic surgeries have a certain risk and may have side effects, causing teens to think twice before undergoing plastic surgery. Although many teens are considering plastic surgery to make themselves look better on the outside, what's inside is also important. One may look perfect on the outside, however if what's inside is something ugly, whatever is on the outside does not matter anymore. I do agree that teens are obsessd with their looks, but not many will actually undergo plastic surgeries.
