“Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are”(Ellen DeGeneres). The work that Dr. Romo performs at The Little Baby Face Foundation for teens is not the best solution for self-esteem issues due to bullying or a poor social life.

It is a belief that after these teens receive the surgery that most of their bullying situations will be resolved, but this will not always happen. The person/people that are taunting or making fun of these teens may not stop after the surgery. They could surface another reason to make fun of the teens. Such as calling them “fake” for receiving the surgery or nag at them for getting surgery in the first place. In conclusion, it seems that some of these teens may not be able to escape being bullied after all. …show more content…

The surgery could be successful and go as planned, but that does not mean that it will fulfill the teens expectations. Connor states “No one really said that it is a huge difference. They said I look a little different”. This proves that they surgery will not always be what the teens expected or that it will end up helping them that much. Another effect of receiving the surgery is that the teen may not look related to their family members anymore and won't be recognized as part of the family to some people. So it seems that the surgery may take care of their bullying or social situations, but it could possibly draw them away from family members or make them them feel discluded from his/her

    Everyone dreams of being “perfect”, but what they don’t know is that they are perfect. One just has to see within themselves. Everyone is uniquely and secretly beautiful, but that gets taken away because it is not what society wants. What society wants is for women’s self-esteem to be broken so that they can be morphed into a product of someone else's idea of perfect. In “Barbie Doll” Piercy argues that the pressures put on women by society affect their self-esteem. No one needs to change who they are for anyone. If anyone wants to change, they should change for themselves! Being you is all that really matters. The key to beauty is confidence. Something that everyone should keep in mind is that, don’t let someone change who you are, to become what they need; otherwise you don’t need them in your

    Cosmetic surgery convinces young teens to alter just about anything. The truth is, with various surgical possibilities, it can cause teens to make many changes with unrealistic expectations. Teenagers tend to get their hopes up with the intentions of evolving into a fantasy of what they wish to look like but are not always satisfied with the results. It is said by Melissa Dittmann in her article Plastic Surgery: Beauty or Beast, that it has been, “several predictors of poor outcomes, especially for those who hold unrealistic expectations or have history of depression and anxiety.” This can cause a teen to become even more insecure about themself because they have not gotten the closure they were expecting to have after the surgery.

    Teenagers take extreme measures in order to “fix” themselves (by having Plastic surgery). Plastic Surgery is a surgical process used to repair deformities and glitches in a persons body. Nowadays, teenagers tend to have plastic surgeries to improve physical characteristics they feel are flawed and/or to fit in with peers, to look similar to others. In fact, it is only the pressure that has been put upon these minors that makes them want to look flawless or perfect in order to feel comfortable in their own skin and avoid any unwanted judgments. Most teenagers are not mature enough to clearly understand the problems and consequences that are accompanied with cosmetic surgery. Therefore, cosmetic surgery should not be allowed for minors.

    Sure, some of us have this great confidence within ourselves about looking great, but that does not hold true for everyone. I understand the pain or disgust, or even disappointment one feels when they look in the mirror and say, “I wish I could change this or that about myself”. Although this piece is written about the author’s life, it holds meaning and connects with for many people; one only has to dig deep enough to find one. For me, it was to realize what is important in life can change, adapt and that we must explore our inner selves and find our own path in life.

    Being beautiful, being perfect, is what most of society cares about in this day and age. For example, people value getting rid of any to all imperfections, like having a bit of baby fat, or getting rid of scars. People are put down by the comments of strangers, and more so the comments made from people of their inner circle. People feel ugly and hate themselves for things that they have no control over. Some do radical things to get rid of these imperfections by getting surgery or taking pills. Even though not all people judge minor blemishes the view of one’s self is the most important view a person could have, and if that identity is under attack it could ruin a person 's self confidence. The story “The Birthmark” by Nathaniel Hawthorne also has aspects of self-confidence and identity that are relevant to the current times.

    “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.”― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan. Dr. Romo, a plastic surgeon for teens, does what he does to improve a teens life by stopping bullying.

    The meaning of beauty has a vast and varied makeup, curving and swaying into the depths of poetry, literature, and history. However, the modern world has skinned the concept of Beauty down to only three words: Thin and Popular. This Modus Operandi and Ponens, respectively, have rooted themselves into all corners of the media and beyond. The industry of fashion, fragrance, and cosmetics nets an annual profit of over thirteen billion dollars in the US alone; why then statistics of poor body image and the problems- both psychologically and medically- remain at lofty and concerning heights? The answer to the question “Why don't I look like that?” asked by Americans, adolescents and young women in particular, is this: It is not what is outside, but what is inside that matters. And they have poorly balanced enzymes and inaccurate interpretations of those around them on the inside.
