Personally, I do agree that teenagers are too obsessed with their looks, but only to a certain extent. I do have friends who are obsessed with their looks, but never heard of them wanting to undergo plastic surgery. I realized that those who are obsessed with their looks would often take what others say or comment about their appearance very seriously, even if it was only meant as a joke. Actually, not every teenager is obsessed with their looks. Some only like to look good, to save themselves from embarrassment in public. I think that teenagers who undergo plastic surgery are spendthrift and have no sense of saving or the importance of money as plastic surgery is expensive and risky as it is not guaranteed that the operation will be successful.
Not only do they consider undergoing plastic surgery, some teenagers even go to the extent of not eating healthily so that they will get thinner, because to them, being skinny is looking good.
I don't think looking not very good is a bad thing either. No matter how much one is ugly, they should accept how they naturally look like and not use ways to make themselves look better.
Hence, I think it is wrong for them to think of having plastic surgery.
