The lls star Heidi Montag has admitted to having ten cosmetic surgery procedures in one day. I see this as certainly sending the wrong message to the youth in America - and internationally. I say "youth" because I believe the idea of what the body should look like in means of what is desirable is influenced greatly by what is seen in the media, not only by females but males as well.

Women want to look like the models they see and men expect them to. This is a double threat. The expectation is coming from magazines, runways, television, movies, but also from men.

The majority of these expectations are simply impossible to live up to. While a flawless face and figure is plastered everywhere the eye looks, no one bothers mentioning that these seemingly perfect images were not perfect to begin with. A team of make up artists, wardrobe specialists and hair stylists make these people look fantastic.

Whatever flaws are left get taken away by airbrushing and touch ups from the most advanced software available. How can anyone measure up to this? They can't.It's an image of perfection that is simply impossible for women to achieve.

Heidi Montag makes matters worse by suggesting that it is perfectly acceptable for such extremes to be taken to gain acceptance. She has been quoted saying, "everyone in Hollywood has the same procedures done every single day." This statement is simply not true.

The lls star goes on to add insult to injury as she shrugs off the questions about how her surgeries and choices affect young women who look up to her. She gives an incredibly apathetic song and dance about how people will do what they will do. She is unwilling to acknowledge any responsibility.

Look at her interview from Good Morning America: --quote-- HM: I’m not addicted. If I were addicted, I would have had ten plastic surgeries. GMA: You did have ten plastic surgeries.

HM: Well I mean ten times. I really had two different surgeries. I had one three years ago and then I had one that I had several procedures done weeks ago.

If you’re addicted to something, you have to do it all the time, not every couple years. Heidi then gets peeved that she’s being criticized for the vain and insecure message she’s sending to her youngest fans: GMA: You are very much an idol to young girls. You are on the cover of a magazine, you are a big name in Hollywood and these young girls are reading what you say about ‘triple D isn’t big enough,’ that ‘I wasn’t pretty enough.

€™ What kind of message does that send to young girls? HM: Well my main message is that beauty is really within. --Quote-- Obviously, her message is the exact opposite because her actions says, "Be fake, as long as you're desirable, you're important.

" Heidi is only 23 years old and to date has had a brow lift, liposuction on her neck/waist/thighs/hips, a butt implant, a chin reduction, ear pinning, two nose jobs, and two breast enlargements, with a third one planned might I add. She's also had injections (Botox and other fillers) that a 23 year old could not possibly need.To Heidi Montag and any other woman out there - cosmetic surgeries have their place. If you have a health condition that is in need of being corrected or a procedure that you feel will boost your self esteem, that's one thing.

But keep in mind, insecurities are not just outward attributes. Increasing your breast size or reshaping your nose is truly only cosmetic. Those insecurities that have dug deeper will still be there.

Too many people (specifically women and young girls) look at the media as a true representation of what they should be looking like, acting like, feeling, etc.Right now, the reality T.V. Stars - like Heidi Montag - are not teaching females anything positive. Instead, they're saying if you look good enough, you get what you want. Do this, do that and act this way .... which translates to, be catty, manipulative and sexy.

Intelligence means nothing, talent is non existent and you will only be loved for your body. How is that anything except a horrible message from dangerous role models? Heidi Montag is not the first bad role model (nor will she be the last) - look at Barbie.

Barbie has been what little girls believe to be beautiful and perfect - what they aspire to be for decades. How many times have we heard people say, "She looks like a Barbie doll"? Doesn't that statement alone reduce females to puppet-type beings that are only pretty to look at as sexual objects?

That leaves our young women to grow up thinking this is what they should be -- their goals being only high enough to be told she's pretty? Perfect? Again, unattainable perfection as Barbie is so unrealistically proportioned that none of the girls who grow up wanting to be like her will ever reach their goal.

When women are unable to measure up their self esteem starts to lower, obsessions begin with plastic surgery and obtaining that ideal image. With the clear link between societal views and expectations and eating disorders, it's time for change. I think, as parents, we should be very careful what we deem important.

Instead of, "Oh you're so pretty! " as praise it may be better to say, "You're so clever! " With emphasis taken off looks and making sure that young women know who is worthy of being their role models - say Oprah, Tina Fey, Waris Dirie (a supermodel, but with an amazing story or survival that far outweighs her "image") or perhaps the late Miep Geis, who saved Anne Frank's diary.

While it may be impossible to keep media influences away from our children, we can help to reduce it by not blaring it in their faces at home and by making sure we take the time to instill within our children a sense of what is truly important - intelligence, integrity, pride, morals, values.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
