Flaws, like beauty, is/are "in the eye of the beholder".As I have already said....Kids are susceptible to peer-pressure and influence from fashion-icons to try to achieve what they would call perfection. As kids will be kids there are times when they must be told that they cannot have what they want as instantly as they want it.
The great problem as I see it is, ( as was highlighted in that link above ), is that many American, ( particularly ), parents have more money than sense and if they see this interference in nature as good enough for themselves as adults they often see it as good enough for their pushy children too.
If the desire for plastic-surgery in a child is simply driven by vanity then it must be very seriously considered before it is allowed. If the child can persuade the adult that something in their physical makeup is causing them real psychological pain then even more serious consideration must be given before such work is undertaken.
I suppose it is all about NEED rather than DESIRE if we come right down to it !
I agree that beauty very much lies in the eye of the beholder. but this makes it a so much more difficult thing to pin down. what's considered beautifull now's far from the same as what was considered beautifull only 25 years ago. what we define as beatifull and ugly keeps changing and it gradually gets more and more 'legalized' to do 'dramatic' things to reach the new ideals. I find this wrong. yes, some people need it and I think it's very difficult to draw a line as to what should be 'mended' and what shouldn't. but to send a signal to our children that "if you don't fit in we'll just cut away your problem et voila!" ? maybe what we'll have to cut away now is a bad nose, to big ears or a mould. but what will it be in a couple of years?
in most cases I don't think children should have the opportunity of surgery. they are, as already mentioned, easy to manipulate and eager to be accepted. if surgery becomes more commonly accepted it might also push some weak souls into it who really don't wish it deep down inside. instead I think it might be a good idea to take a closer look at the environment that teaches these children not to accept others because of looks, or not to feel good about themselves because of the same. otherwise this might create a slide.
Plastic Surgery a good thing or a bad thing/
Before you say this is a stupid thing.I want to say one thing.Plastic Surgery may make people look younger but it is not you it is fake.
Also look at the actess and actors out there they look awful with the too many face lifts.They don't even look real anymore.
Anyway what do you guys think?JM 😕
take away my right to ridicule others and you leave me with nothing.
i stand firmly with my position. If you're going to make numerous threads in the GDF, then atleast make sure things are properly structured and punctuated.
The thread topics she thinks up are really good, just reading her posts requires my Cracker Jack's code deciphering toy.
Ok, i'm from Southern California, and I work up on a movie studio lot where the better 2/3 of the women I see have had some manner of work done to them at some point or another. This is my stance.
I'm generally against cosmetic surgery. If you need to have your breasts enlarged or your nose fixed just to make yourself attractive, then you have far worst problems than physical unattractiveness.
Getting plastic surgery to repair bodily injuries is fine by me, because if you get your face burned, or hideously disfigured in an accident of some sort, then you should be allowed to live a normal life without people staring at you as if you were some freak show.
Those women that make it big in the industry just because of their store bought body make me sick. Actually, women who strive for physical perfection by manipulating the shape and make up of their body in order to get ahead in life are seen as losers in my eyes.
And I hope anyone that gets serious work done to their face ends up looking like Michael Jackson. Particularly anyone that has been on the show...."the swan"

next time use the searchfunction, it clogs up the forums if you make threads that already exist
Plastic surgery is a vital tool in some cases (reconstructive surgery) and abused in others.
If you' re not happy with yourself physically and if it affects the way you feel, your confidence, your overall self-esteem, then I can understand and approve plastic surgery. Never feeling comfortable with yourself, isolate yourself...
It is certainly a serious decision that should never be taken lightly.
I don't think anyone should have urgery on anything.I mean you get it done but it is not really you.I would feel like someone else and not myself.
It is all fake and it is not the way you were born.So I don't argee with this sort of sergery but if it is for something that helps a person for a very serious thing then I argee.JM
