Topic #4: I Am Beautiful/Handsome, but...

     If I could change one thing about my physical appearance, I will not change any parts because physical appearance is something my parents gave me, and it has been decided when I was born. First, I consider it as a gift. Thus, I will not change anything about it as a present. Not changing it shows respect towards parents. Second, I do not want to change my looks not only because I do not want to be someone else, like a copy character, but also because I do not want to lose my own confidence.
      Nowadays, many young people choose to change some parts of their appearance like nose, the lower jaw, eyes and so on. I do not think their original looks are so horrible to change. It is really unnecessary. Futhermore, doing operation on face costs lots of money. People use their money to change themselves to someone else, it is really ridiculous.
      However, there are really someone who really needs to change their physical appearance because of  some kinds of disabilities which destroy their looks. In my opinion, only these people should change their physical appearance.

  2. I cannot agree more with your opinion. Our apprearences are the gifts from our parents. We don't have any power to change them. It's better to enjoy it instead of complaining. The people who choose to change it, maybe because they are stars. They have no choice. In order to attract their audience, they have to change it.

  4. Actually, I want to change my nose because I just do not like it. After I read your blog, I think I should rethink about surgery. You are right!! All body is a gift from parents why I change them.

  7. You have be a good example for those people who love to change their physical appearance. Just as what you have mentioned. We have to accept what we look like now, because it’s given by our parents.
