Bullied children want cosmetic surgery

Bullying, low self-confidence and celebrity influence are the reasons behind 41 per cent of teenage school children wishing for cosmetic surgery.

Nationwide research by GoodSurgeonGuide.co.uk, found that out of 1,012 female teenagers aged 13 – 16, more than two in five are already considering which cosmetic treatment they would like.

Though their bodies will not develop until the age of 18, 62 per cent wanted bigger breasts and 49 per cent wanted a quick fix weightloss treatment.

One in three children claimed that the surgery would make them feel more confident about themselves and 25 per cent resorted to the knife because of bullying.
