Boys As Self-Conscious As Girls...
A study in the U.K.:
Teenage boys are now so obsessed with their appearance that a quarter of them would consider plastic surgery to try to achieve the looks and physiques of their celebrity heroes.
A study of 2,000 boys with an average age of 15 indicates that they agonise about their bodies as much as teenage girls do and envy David Beckham?s six-pack or Brad Pitt?s smile.
Just 13 per cent are happy with their bodies, while 26 per cent say that they would consider cosmetic surgery. The most sought-after procedures were liposuction, enlargement and a nose job. www.timesonline.co.uk
