Sacrifices for Looks

Beauty is a tough thing in most countries. People sacrifice and give up a lot of things to try to look pretty. I think people should stay the way the are so they don't look fake like Barbie or Ken. They should stay the way they are because inner beauty is what really matters but people obviously don't think that,

In "Ribbons" the grandma had her feet bound when she was little to look pretty. That is a terrible thing to happen just to try to look pretty. Now she has to look back on that and wonder why her parents did that when it didn't work. Her feet are dis formed and painful. Girls in America do the same things these days. Some get plastic surgery on their face to look better. Others wear heels to look more fashion forward. Woman put up with pain and pay a lot of money just to look pretty.

Woman may do things to look good but men also do it too. Some men use steroids to look in shape. They make the body look good but make you feel worse. Also they will buy very expensive tight jackets to be dressed well. Men will sometimes even get piercings or tattoos to look "cool". Those people will have to live looking like that when they are older. Tattoos stay with you for your entire life and you will look weird when you are older with them.
