about
Young women in particular are under immense pressure to live up to standards of physical beauty that are portrayed in the media. Children are being brought up in an increasingly sexualised atmosphere, where unrealistic expectations of appearance and the necessity of being seen as conventionally attractive are distorting their view of themselves.
A recent UK report found that 40% of girls between the ages of 7 and 10 said they felt some pressure to look the way that celebrities do. Aged between 7 and 10! Girls are starting to consider plastic surgery from the age of 11, and around a quarter of a million cosmetic procedures a year are carried out in the USA on teenagers. This is an industry which is profiting from the feelings of insecurity in vulnerable teenagers which the industry itself is helping to perpetuate.
This is madness. Aside from the huge, unnecessary financial cost that people feel they need to incur, all surgical procedures inherently carry risks. Why should anybody be encouraged to have one if it’s not really necessary? And how much insecurity can be really cut away with a scalpel?
lyrics
Some people take their vanity to the lengths of insanity, and the plastic surgeon’s knife is the dominant influence in their life. In a search for eternal youth they try to hide the truth - they clearly fear rejection if they don’t achieve perfection. How much did your face cost? How much money? How much pain? Has it made you happy, or will you do it all again? They mutilate their looks to copy pics they’ve seen in books, but those images are “corrected” so that flaws can’t be detected. The media hold up as ideal looks that simply are not real, and those who buy into this stuff feel that they just aren’t good enough.
