I personally feel that teenagers being obsessed with their appearaces are still acceptable but to the extent of considering plastic surgery is too far and is totally unacceptable. Firstly, I think that if teenagers are obsessed with their looks, it means that they do care about their impression on other people. If they are not obsessed with their looks, they will not bother about their impression on other people. For an example, it would be unsightly to spot a teenager wearing too casually on important and formal events. I think that if a teenager do care about his or her looks, they will dress in the right attire for the different events and they are not only respecting others, but also themselves.

But, being obsessed with their looks is okay already, and they should not be much too obsessed. They should not care about their looks all the time and put more time into their studies. They can dress up on whatever way they want outside school but during school, they should respect the school and the teachers by being dressed up right. This way, they will also not violate the school rules.

I also think that teenagers considering plastic surgeries are unacceptable because they may look 'ugly' now, but who will know how they will look when they grew up? They are a lot of people in the world who looked 'ugly' when they are young but they also grew up to be 'beautiful' and 'handsome', and some of these people are also celebrities and idols.

In conclusion, I think that teenagers being obsessed with their looks are okay but they should not go overboard and that plastic surgeries are not the only way to make one person look more beautiful. Also, plastic surgeries also carries its risks.
