Uproar after Philippine teen star has botox

In my opinion teenagers should not go for any botox injection or any form of plastic surgery. I feel that being natural is the best. At such a young age, teenagers are still developing and growing. If they go through plastic surgery, it may affect their growth on their face. Charice Pempengco is really too young for botox. I think that inner beauty is all that matters. She may not be mature enough to think of the consequences.

Furthermore, there are many negative comments about her on fan websites. This will affect her reputation and image. She may also feel pressurize about all the critics that she gets. In conclusion, I do not encourage botox and plastic surgery being done on a teenager.

I was not surprised when i read the article. Cosmetic surgery is now such a common thing that even teenagers would go for it because of vanity. There are definitely both advantages and disadvantages of cosmetic surgery. Charice Pempengco, teen star, as mentioned in the article went for a cosmetic surgery to sculpt her naturally rounded face.

I do agree that cosmetic surgery does improve one's looks and give one a boost of confidence, which is also the reason why many has chosen to go for it. This is also, however, the reason as to why one, especially young teens choose to ignore the risks of the surgery.I feel that one should not ignore the risks involved in the surgery though it is minimal and I do not agree that there is a need for Charice to go for cosmetic surgery and botox injections.

While i was reading the article, a lot of thoughts came up to my mind, such as the low self-esteem of the girl and how the entertainment sector emphasis a lot on the physical appearance of each celebrities. In my opinion, i feel that a 18 year old girl should not undergo plastic surgery, this just tells me that the girl who undergo plastic surgery has low self-esteem of herself.
I agree with a user calling by the name Mirana said, she highlighted the point on listening to yourself and not be affected by other opinions. I feel that this point is worth remembering and metioned as a lot of the people in the society are easily influenced by other people's opinion. Therefore, we should really settle down and think hard of what we really what instead of what others want you to be.

Reading the article, I felt that the pressure placed on stars to be beautiful is too much. Personally, I think that an 18 year old is too young to undergo Botox and cosmetic surgery no matter how minor it is. The fact that Charice felt the need to make changes to the way she looks is saddening. It is ironic that she went through with cosmetic surgery in preparation for her upcoming role in Glee as the show promotes accepting yourself for who you are as a person no matter how you look.

Why should someone’s looks define the talent that they have? I see no reason for an 18 year old to undergo cosmetic surgery. Doing it at such a young age also opens up the risk of getting addicted to modifying your looks constantly in the future, which may not be healthy in the long-run.

After reading this article, I felt that it is not wrong for a 18 year-old girl to go for cosmetic surgery. Although it might be dangerous to do it at such a young age, I find it acceptable if this is required to pursue your dream. However, there is no rush to do all the surgeries in one go. Since you are still so young, doing the botox injections and minor surgery together may cause some health problems. Pursuing your dream may be important but your health is more important. Without health you will not be able to pursue your dream.
I am not encouraging that all teenagers should go for cosmetic surgery. If you want to go for cosmetic surgery, it is best to consult with your parents first and think about the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery.

I was astonished upon reading the article. There has been an increasing number of cases on teenagers committing suicide and these are mostly due to one's inability to cope with stress.

As mentioned in the article, Ho Yi Xin had confided in her classmate that she was depressed over the detention form given by her favorite teacher before her death and Wong Peek Yian leapt to her death over her poor performance in the mid-year examination. I believe that both Yi Xin and Peek Yian had leapt to their deaths upon depression and stress.

I think that Singapore's Government could organise more talks on handling stress. Teenagers should also learn to cherish their lives and know that suicide is definitely not a solution to solving problems or reducing stress. Parents should be more aware and try not to put too much pressure or setting high expections of their children.

After reading this article, I felt that there is a need to change the educational system. Now not only Junior College students are feeling the stress but also Tertiary students. Students can't find a good way to relieve stress thus this happens. I must say that this is not the teachers' fault. Teachers are also feeling stress given by their boss if the student's performance is bad. Thus, in order to solve this problem the education system needs to change.
The Ministry Of Education will remove examination for primary one by 2013. Maybe they can also
try something like this. For example, remove all the common test and class test and focus on the final examination. This way students will not have to worry about tests every week.
Another way is to have de-stress workshop to teach students how to manage stress.
