> An old friend of mine was not a particularly attractive girl - a Barbara Streisand type nose, eyes too close together, heavy set . . . Yet, her mother raised her to believe she was beautiful. And, you know what, she always got the good-looking guy she wanted and just exuded confidence and sexuality. Funny, eh?
That confidence is so much of attractiveness. But here's the thing I wonder about the purely cosmetic surgeries... people say it will make them feel better about themselves, give them more confidence, etc. Maybe it does... but I wonder. Do they just find something else to be insecure about? Or carry around in their head somewhere the notion that yeah, now I look great but only because of a surgeon's talent.
I guess I'd rather see the teens have someone invest in their lives rather than their plastic surgeons. The positive results might be more lasting and certain.
