if you was bullied all you life for the way you looked,would you have plastic surgery?

Answer 1

no -- people bully others because they feel bad about themselves and need to make others unhappy just like them.

Answer 2

That's a hard question. It depends on the individual. Me, personally, yes, I think I would if it meant the difference between feeling miserable and feeling okay about myself. It depends also on the extent of the plastic surgery. It's an expensive business and not always successful; meaning you may not be happy with the result. Being bullied is no pic-nic but bullies are the worst type of cowards. They probably feel worse about themselves than you do. I bet you have lots of people who love you no matter how you look.

Answer 3

The answer is YES!!!!! I speak from personal experience. I have had two (2) physical issues that have been sufficiently distant from societal norms as to have attracted unwanted negative feedback from my environment - aka bullying.

One of these issues (Issue A) I had successfully surgically corrected. The other issue (Issue B) I defiantly stood my ground. This is what has happened:

In relation to Issue A people who knew me pre-op suddenly found that they didn't have a target to shoot at anymore and so were left to make oblique references to my pre-op state. People who only knew me post-op were not aware that there had been this issue, so no unwanted comments came from this group in relation to Issue A. I fucked off the pre-op people and had an enjoyable life, free from Issue A, which for me was no longer an issue.

In relation to Issue B the bullying continues.

Regarding the other respondants to this question and the 'stand and fight' mentality seemingly so prevelent in their replies. If you have something that is integral to who you are that becomes the target of other peoples aggression then yes you can fight, but what happens when you get tired of fighting? You can fight, for a while, but you can't fight the entire world all the time; and why the hell should you have to? But if everyone in your world is making you feel bad about being you then something has to give. Either you move away from the people making you miserable or you change who you are so that, either way, they don't have a target anymore.

I have done both.

One final point. Bullying is not something done by the insecure to make them feel good about themselves, far from it. Bullying is done as it provides a reward for those participating in it. If there was nothing to be gained from the act, no one would do it. Bullying in this context is about social control, stratification and acceptance by the group. The downside for the participants (either active or passive) is that they have to deal with the moral dilema into which their actions (or lack thereof) have taken them. This price is considerably less than that paid by the target of their aggression who, even after the bullying has stopped may take years to recover from the social assault to which they have been subjected.

Answer 4

This is a leading question that forces one to say: yes. I believe, only congenital anomalies and marked deformities are eligible for plastic surgeries. Otherwise, one should learn to accept himself and love his looks with all its bad and good features, because everyone has his own charm. If you fix all that you think isn't`t so pretty, you will end up looking like a doll without no spirit. God never creates anything ugly.

Answer 5

What matters is how you feel about you, not what others feel. You are the one who needs to be happy with the person you see in the mirror each day (inside and out).

Bullies are just that...bullies...they are insecure, cowardly people (inside) who pick on others to help them feel better about themselves. Generally, when someone stands up to a bully, the bully falls apart (unless they've got a group of cronies at their back). They should be pitied, not feared, and certainly not people for whom anyone should change their apperance, mannerisms, personality, etc. Bullies are not people whose advice is worth taking or who are worth emulating.

Be yourself...if there is something you want to change about you, then do it...otherwise, don't worry about what others think or say...people who are worth having in your life will care about you for who you are, not your physical characteristics.

Answer 6

No, I was bullied for many things namely how I dressed, working hard at school and being interested in aeroplanes. I decided to stick to my guns and continue to be me! By achieving what I have in life its like sticking two fingers up at them when I was being bullied! I've achieve despite them!

Don't let them change you, please. I guess you are at school, you are not going to be there forever and will move away from these people soon. As an overall percentage of your life you will not be with them for very long at all so use that unhappiness to do something poisitive. Use it to drive you forward in life, to achieve despite them. I know it is hard from personal experience but its well worth it!

Good luck!
