Critique
BBC News reported a research done by Bliss magazine that 40 per cent teens have a burning a desire to plastic surgery. It has been a hot issue among contemporary society and drawn a highly concerned by many educationists. To me, it was a very article that pointed out a wrong phenomenon among the teens. For instance, the article stated that “the endless parade of thin yet curvy, surgically-enhanced celebrities have made young girls obsessed with their own normal lumpy, bumpy bodies”. Even more, the girls also received a “tremendous pressure” from their boyfriends who gradually expect their girlfriends have a perfect body shape and a gorgeous appearances. Moreover, the article reminded the vast majority of girls took the risk of operation result into account before plastic surgery. As well, the article restated any teens should consult some professors when you considering plastic surgery. To sum up, it was a useful and valuable article that lessoned us plastic surgery not only an operation but also impact a great effect in out rest lives.
