It's a pity like.
i thought there were some real odd balls on there, im only in my 20s but certainly ive noticed a shift in more people not liking themselves.
when i was younger there was none of this self harm (well not in the media anyway) and plastic surgery was something for movie stars.
compeltely different these days, everyone and adam is getting into it.
:no:
I watched that and I probably shouldn't have because it made me start thinking about all the bits of myself that I really don't like.
Quite interesting though.
It's more accessible now though isn't it. And there are so many programmes and magazine articles on it that people start to see it as the norm. I think it's a shame though.
true, but only because companies are willing to let people to get in thousands of pounds worth of debt to pay for it, they borrow money they cant afford to get bigger tats.
its just all wrong.
but each to their own i suppose. if it makes them happy then so be it, better them being all mopey and suicidal.
Me too! I started thinking how quick and easy a bit of lipo would be... but then those 50 year ols guys who reckoned they'd been made to look like Schwarzanegger put me RIGHT off. So did that receptionist's boobs- they looked like they were full of socks- all lumpy :yuck:
Plastic surgery is a lot more acceptable and cheaper and more easily accessible nowdays.
As for the self harm issue, i'd imagine it was still there but in the shadows rather than the mainstream, same issue as people suffering from depression.
I wouldn't mind lipo, because after they showed Louis' op and everything, it didn't look at all unnatural and he did say he felt good after it.
That was ridiculous. And I felt really sorry for him, because he'd been bullied his entire life for it. But muscles aren't like boobs, they have to be in proportion with the rest of your body. He looked stupid when he just had his chest implants, because his arms weren't big enough. And now he looks stupid because he's got big arms and a big chest on tiny shoulders. Do they do shoulder implants? Even then, he'd then need to do the back as well. Just go to the gym ffs, it's probably less effort.
Incidentally, I really don't get breast implants at all. For a start, boobs are soooooo 1990's. And also small breast are far more attractive than fake ones, and you can almost always tell.
haha, love it
And if that girl needs work done then the rest of us may as well give up now. And may I say... who the hell is that other woman to point the finger- I thought the receptionist was naturally much prettier.
Before she'd had the nose job her face was natural and I thought she was really pretty. At least she'd kept up to date with her roots which is more than can be said for the other woman
I'd like to make my brain bigger sometimes, i'd like to be smarter then i am, not to say i am dumb or anything though.
My best and oldest mate's girlfriends best friend that i am aquainted with, had a full on massive plastic surgery overhaul. She had her stomach taken in to be thinner, boobs enlarged and something done to her skin to deal with acne scares she had from being young. Now she says she is happier then ever and comfortable with how she looks.
Why people do it, i am not sure, i'd like to improve many things about myself for my own self confidence but i wouldnt turn to surgery for it. For instance id like to be 2 inches taller then i am, then id be 6 foot tall, but i wouldnt go and have my legs sawn through and braces and pins put in to make the bone grow more then re-learn how to walk for it.
