We all look in the mirror on a daily basis, but have you ever stopped to really look at yourself? Are you happy with what stares back at you? Of course, many of have learned to love our bodies over the years, and we’ve learned to embrace the fact that our teeth are a little wonky, our nose is just a little bit too big, our lips are a bit too plump, and our ears stick out a little bit – but that’s what makes us who we are! However, there are some people who can’t stand to look at the natural beauty that looks back at them in the mirror. They hate what they see, and they hope to change their looks permanently for their own sake. Because of this, the number of people going under the knife and undergoing cosmetic surgery has drastically increased in the past few years. In fact, in 2017 alone, a whopping 17.5 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States, and that number is just increasing every single year.
Most of the time, these breast augmentations, nose reshaping procedures, and tummy tucks are performed to make the person feel better about themselves. Yet, there are instances where people feel forced into getting this surgery. Every year, more and more people get bullied for their looks. They are teased mercilessly, they are made to feel worthless, and they are made to feel the opposite of beautiful. This leads many people to change their appearance completely, and change the one feature about them that causes them so much pain. That’s exactly how one 11-year-old girl felt when she underwent cosmetic surgery due to bullies…

If you had the chance to permanently change your appearance, would you do it? There are people reading this who will jump at the chance to make their nose look a little smaller or their assets a little larger, but there are also those who would never dare to go under the knife and change what they look like. Thankfully, we all have a choice as to whether we change our appearance or not, and what we choose to see in the mirror is completely down to us. However, there are some people who are bullied so mercilessly for their looks that they start to believe something different. They start to believe they are not worthy and choose to go under the knife for that reason.
