"How Celebrity Role Models Affect Teens' Self Image | TeXT." Welcome to TeXT | TeXT. 17 Mar. 2008. Web. 19 May 2011. <http://text.teachingmatters.org/node/8615>. This article talks about the effects that celebrities have on teens and their self image. It's said that teens throughout the United States look up to these celebrities and feel the only way they can be as happy as them is if they look like them. Through this a lot of teens look to plastic surgeons for the answer. The number of teens who choose to get plastic surgery is on the rise.

The Nemours Foundation., 1995. Web. 19 May 2011. <http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_body/beautiful/plastic_surgery.html>. This article is about why so many teens are resorting to plastic surgery as the key to happiness. Teens view plastic surgery as a way to fit in and look acceptable to friends and peers. Almost all teens (and many adults) are self-conscious about their bodies. Almost everyone wishes there were a thing or two that could be changed. A lot of this self-consciousness goes away with time. Ask yourself if you're considering plastic surgery because you want it for yourself or whether it's to please someone else. People who are depressed, extremely self-critical, or have a distorted view of what they really look like sometimes think that changing their looks will solve their problems. Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feel in themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his or her behavior, and will enjoy life more. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors and celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines. It's not just development that affects self-esteem, though. Many other factors (like media images of skinny girls and bulked-up guys) can affect a person's body image too.
