In the third article “Australian State Bans Cosmetic Surgery For Teens”, written by Dan Childs. The text is pretty clear about its opinion on cosmetic surgery on teens. It wants to ban cosmetic surgery because teens are not able to make such a big decision, when there body is still changing. Further on there are also many risks that comes with these surgeries, for example death or a heart attack. There are also people who think that cosmetic surgery on teens shouldn’t be banned, because the government should mind their own business and not get involved with peoples personal life. They also think that some teens are mature and intelligent enough to make the decision and understand the risks involved. My personal opinion on this topic is that cosmetic surgery on teens should definitively be banned. I don’t think that teens who are 16-17 years old would be able to make such a decision. Because when you are in that age your body is filled with hormones which makes it difficult for you to accept your body as it is. Parents should also get more involved and tell the teen that he/she is perfect just the way they are. There is only one situation where I would find it acceptable for teenagers to get cosmetic surgery. That is if one gets involved in some sort of accident, for example a car accident or fire disaster which would require a skin transplant to look normal again.

Adolescents all over the world can mention at least three things about their body which they don’t like. When they look at themselves in the mirror, the first thing they say is not ‘’I look so pretty today!’’, but ‘’I want to lose some weight’’, even if they don’t. Young people compare themselves to the beautiful people in the magazines, and think that they have to look like them to look ‘’normal’’.

Many teenagers want to correct their body with plastic surgery, even if they are not mature yet.

Cosmetic and plastic surgery have become more popular now rather then when it first came out. A lot
