I was reading some of the latest news articles on MSN earlier and Britney Spears’ picture showed up on the sidebar. I took one look at it and wanted to laugh. The dark hair she was sporting looks like a wig, and if it is then she didn’t do a good job choosing one to fit her and if it’s not a wig then she just has serious hair issues. Of course when you think of Britney Spears plastic surgery and implants always comes to mind. Then to top it off I saw more advertisement for rhinoplasty companies like Fort Myers plastic surgery and for the fun of it I decided to do a google search for celebrities and plastic surgery.

CelebrityPlasticPics.com is a website that shows the before and after shots of celebrities. Looking at some of the pictures is hysterical but for the most part they’re sad. These women were beautiful as they were yet they felt the need to change themselves to meet society’s standards. That’s just sad.

So the average United States citizen claims to be an individual. They say they are not at all alike to other people and they stand out from the crowd. They rebel against becoming conformists and strive for independence.

But do they ever stop to think that they’re still conforming none the less? The reality is that they probably don’t. Those who seek to stand out and go against the grind, those known as ‘goths’ and ‘freaks’ all look pretty uniform to me. Now don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of the things that make up the ‘goth look’ but what is the point of adopting a certain style or look in order to show your rebellion when you’re still so very uniform anyway? Am I the only one who doesn’t comprehend this thought process?

Hey I’m not saying we should all just look like carbon copies here. I’m just saying that if you want to dress a certain way do it because you like the style not because it’s a rebellion.  Tattoos are cool if they’re gotten for the right reason because then they are body art and are reflective and indicative of the wearer’s personality. But getting them done, receiving multiple piercings, or adopting a new style for sake of “rebelling”, well there is a term for people like that.
