Pham, Thailan. "TEENAGE PLASTIC SURGERY." People 73.13 (2010): 107. MasterFILE Premier. EBSCO. Web. 25 Feb. 2011. Thailan Pham, in her article in People Magazine called, "Teenage Plastic Surgery," explains how teenagers are undergoing plastic surgery to fix the way they look. The author supports her statement by having testimonials from teens who have gone under the knife and what they say about their life afterward, as well as having an inset about whether surgery is right for you. The author is explaining what cases surgery would be good for glamorizing plastic surgery in order to explain that changing ones body is alright, if it is for a good reason. The author is speaking towards teenagers who struggle with body issues like larger breasts or bigger than average ears, by showing that other kids do it and their lives are much better afterward. The source is very interesting giving another look on plastic surgery and how teens are taking advantage of it. The author is a journalist so she seems less scientific with her arguments and the writing is more glamorizing the subject of surgery than warning of the dangers of it. This topic can be used as a look from the other side and why people think they need to alter their bodies.
