"Picture Perfect"

Did you know god made you perfect! What you think is an imprefection god made perfect in his eyes.He made everyone different but beautiful to him! The way society expects you to look is not how god intended for you to look. He wanted everyone to have personality within their looks and to be special in their own way. The magazines have men and women with not an ounce of fat on their bodies, not a pimple on their face, or even a hair out of place. Most of the celebrities,singers,actors and actresses are portrayed as perfect,but nobody is perfect. It is not right for people to feel as if you are anything less then how god intended for them to be. Because of the way the media is portraying what people should look like it is causing people to feel as if they need to change so they are going to extremes. They go to the doctor for every little wrinkle, pooch, bump, flab,and anything else that could be considered a imprefection. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2009 there were close to 10 million cosmetic procedures done in the United States alone and that the United States is the number one country to have the most procedures done compared to any other country. The statistics state that "since 1997, there has been over 147 percent increase in the total number of cosmetic procedures." Children of all ages are now looking to doctors to make them perfect rather than feeling that they are good just the way they are. It has been one of the leading causes in thoughts and attempts of suicide among teenagers, according to a study among 13,601 students in the nineth through twelth grade. We can't let the media dictate how the world should look. Don't turn to doctors to change the way you look. If we all took a stand against cosmetic surgery and did not let the doctors reconstruct the perfect construction god made us in, then generations to come would not have to feel as if they were less than perfect. Please make a stand to be picture perfect just the way you are!
