One Way to Avoid Bullying?!

If you were being bullied because of protruding ears, a big nose or another physical imperfection would you consider having surgery to "fix" that imperfection? As this video shows, young teens and younger children are considering that kind of surgery. After watching the video would you consider surgery to correct an imperfection? Do you think that changing a physical appearance might end the bullying of a student? Would you consider having surgery that would change your physical appearance?

Changing your physical appearance because people don't like it seems silly to me. I would never change an imperfection to please other people. I disagree with young children getting surgery for cosmetic reasons. Everybody has something that they don't like about themselves but everyone should try to love it.

Lauren...I do not agree with the idea of changing one's physical appearance due to bullying. A person is not defined by how they look. If they are bullied because of their appearance a change from surgery may not stop the jokes. It may in the end make things worse. Young children and teenagers should not be allowed to have any type of physical surgery. I would never consider surgery to change my appearance because I am how I am and surgery won't change that.

Tee: I wouldn't have surgery to get rid of something other people thought was weird. I think if they got a surgery, the kids would just bully them more. I would never have a surgery to change my appearance.

Kristin says... I can understand someone who was bullied wanting to change their appearance, but I don't think they should. I would never get surgery because someone has a problem with the way I look. I don't think it would end the bullying at all, it could just make it worse.

Madi... I don't agree with someone having to change their appearance in order for a kid not to get bullied. A person appearance shouldn't even matter, it's their personality that makes them the person they are. I would never change my physical appearance, if someone doesn't like the way I look then they don't have to talk to me!

Sheron says…I think these days’ people would bully you more for changing your appearance because people make fun of it. I wouldn’t change due to the fact that I really don’t care it just means they are insecure about themselves so they make fun of other people to put themselves on a pedestal.

I do not agree with having surgery to fix your physical appearance. The way you look is what makes you. People should be able to expect that. Teens nowadays are so mean to each other, which is not right.

LaKendra... I can't support the fact of people having surgery to change their physical appearance just beacause other people don't like it. Everyone is not perfect and we should learnd to embrace our imperfections. Even if someone went throught the trouble of having the surgery it would not stop people from talking about them. People will always find something to say about you no matter what.

Ashley says... I think you look the way you are for a reason. It's silly as a kid to want to change what you look like. If we all changed the way we look, then we would all look the same. We are not suppose to look like each other. Any where you go there will always be bullies. Dosen't matter what age! You just have to face it and get over it. You shouyldn't let no one pull you down. Even if you do cange your apperance you will still get joked on of how you did it or ect... ! Little kids shouldn't worry and getting surgrey can effect and or hurt you in the future. It's not good to get it!

Matt: To each his own. If someone wishes to change something about themselves, then they are entitled to do so. However, doing so because of bullying is completely absurd.

I think chasnging your physical apperance just because someone is bullying you. I think it's wrong when kids bully other. It's pointless and usually because the bully is insecure about themselves. I wouldn't consider having a surgery to change my appearance jsut because someone bullysd me.

You should never have to change yourself for someone else's wishes. The parent's who allowed this must be out of their minds. Even if the kid wanted it, he should have been talked out of it.

I would never change my physical appearance because someone else calls me ugly. I might not look that great but screw you. If I'm that ugly you can look the other way because I honestly don't give a flying feces about what my "peers" have to say about my looks. People who get surgery for those reasons are pathetic and weak. They have let the words of others get to their heads and by doing so they have failed themselves.

I definitely would not consider surgery to correct an imperfection. I don't think that bullying will end just because of surgery. There is always going to bullying and that's never going to change. I would not consider having surgery to change my physical appearance.

Why would you do this? Who cares about your ears? Insecure people do that's who. I myself find some people have attractive ears. Even if the ear is big it can be attractive.

I think that little kids shouldn't have plastic surgery just because they get joked on. The should learn to ignore them. People shouldn't do things based on what other people say. If that girl gets surgery because kids joke on her ears, they can easily find something else to joke on after she has plastic surgery, so she just needs to learn to ignore them,
