Have you ever wished you could change something about your body? If so, you're not alone.

Many people use apps (手機(jī)軟件) like MeituXiuxiu to edit photos before posting them on social media. Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery (整容) at an early age. Zeng, a senior 2 student from Chengdu, had a double eyelid surgery done this summer. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.

As teenagers' bodies grow and change, they become aware of the smallest flaw (缺陷) in their looks. They are very worried about it. This can affect their health.

According to Huxiu News, over 60 percent of girls refuse to take part in some daily activities such as going to school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers do not want to speak up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.

One of the main causes is advertising, TV shows and social media. Pictures of "perfect" faces and bodies are everywhere. They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful. Magazines give tips about how to lose weight "in days". Advertisements suggest that you should whiten your skin using certain products. And TV shows often make fun of overweight characters. Seeing all these things can make people believe that they should change their bodies.

So what should we do? According to Nancy Etcoff of the Harvard Media School, "We need to help young people in many ways. These ways can include educating students about body confidence in school, as well as encouraging parents to talk to their kids about his topic. After all, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes" Etcoff said.
