What is beauty?

Beauty is a characteristic of a person that provides some kind of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. In my opinion, external beauty is an addiction for most of people.

What is "ideal beauty"?• An "ideal beauty"

doesn't exist at all. • It's some kind of

external beauty which is taken as a perfect example for other people to look like.

• Everyone has her own opinion on the ideal of beauty which is changes over time.

Is beauty an addiction?• I think almost all

people are somehow addicted to their look.

• We take care of how we look in eyes of other people.

• If it wasn't important for us, we would not spend so much money for our look, but we would get focused on other things.

Make-up• Cosmetics has a long history. • To lots of women cosmetics means

a lot. • They feel better, socialy l confident

and more attractive with make-up.• Sometimes I think some people

should eat some make-up to be beautiful inside for a whil,e too.

Plastic surgery Plastic surgery is a medical treatment concerned with the correction of form and function of any part of body. Sometimes people want to look perfect so much that they lose control and

they choose the operation which is not important at all and undergo lots of pain. In many cases operations turn out badly

and the results are worse than before

Bodybuilding• Bodybuilding is a form

of body modification involving intensive muscle growing.

• I think bodybuilding is a kind of addiction, too because when you start you want to be better and work harder and some people start to use steroids.

• Anabolic steroids are not healty for your body and they make people act aggressively.

Beauty and kids Addiction to beauty can start at a very young age most often

because of the mother. In America there is a TV show called Toddlers and Tiaras. The show follows young girls and their

mothers throughout different beauty competitions. Small girls get hair extensions, fake eyelashes, tons of make-up, spray tan and fake teeth to look perfect and win the competition. Even small

babies(one year old) can take a part in this competition.

Wrong side of beauty• One British mother

admitted on American TV that she had given her eight-year-old daughter Botox injections.

• Child was taken away by social workers.

• Another bad side of beauty is that many of teenagers suffer from depressions because they are judged by other people for how they look and act.

Wrong side of beauty• When people are trying so

hard to fit in society, they may forget how healthy body should look like.

• Anorexy is an eating disorder characterized by refusing to maintain a healthy body weight, and an obsessive fear of gaining weight.

• Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by consuming a large amount of food in a short amount of time, followed by an attempt to rid oneself of the food consumed, usually by vomiting.

Beauty in my opinion

Of course, I take care of myself and I am a typical teenage girl, but also

you may not like my hair or eyes or teeth or other stuff but it's my life

and my body and I can change it if I want to, however there are more important things like your soul for

example, because when you have a bad heart you can't change it.

Beauty surveyIn my beauty survey I asked five seventeen- year -old
