Reading Part 3: Plastic Teens
(based on Club, Mary Glasgow Magazines, September/October 2005; World and Press Eilers und Schönemann, August 2005.)
• Read the text below and the statements on the next page.
• Decide which of the statements is correct.
• Put a tick ( ) next to the correct statement on your answer sheet.
• There is only one correct statement for each number.
Why do an increasing number of teens – girls and,
believe it or not, also boys – risk their health to go
under the knife?
“It was my dream come true,” says Jodie, 19, a
cook from Brighton, England. Jodie wanted a flat
stomach like her idol Anastasia so badly that she
happily agreed to be a guinea pig for a cosmetic
surgery clinic. She underwent 27 injections of a
drug called Lipostabil, which is believed to ‘eat
away’ fat. Afterwards, Jodie was left swollen and
bruised. But has the pain made Jodie afraid of
surgery? No: “I am so happy with the result,” she
says, and she adds that pain is the price she pays for
beauty. “I had my eyebrows tattooed three months
ago. It cost £300 (€420) and was agonising.” But it
doesn’t stop there. Jodie has more on her surgery
shopping list.
Jodie’s case may be extreme, but she isn’t alone.
In a new survey of British teenage girls, 42 per cent
have considered plastic surgery. A number of these
girls, whose average age is 14, have even started
saving money for surgery. In the U.S., 326,233
cosmetic operations were performed on teens in
2004, nearly 900 operations a day!
HEARTLESS MEDIA
Some people say that magazines are the reason why
more and more teenagers have plastic surgery.
Chantelle Horton, who used to work as an editor for
Bliss magazine, agrees that all the perfect-looking
celebrities make young girls feel self-conscious
about their own normal “lumpy bumpy” bodies.
The problem is that not all of these celebrities really
have perfect bodies. It is well known that
magazines often ‘air brush’ photos of the rich and
famous to make them seem absolutely perfect to
their readers. More than half of the British girls
who were interviewed by Bliss were worried they
would never look like their female role models. But
how could they?
And TV programmes such as I Want a Famous
Face and Plastic Surgery Live only make things
worse. Ron Rohrich, president of the American
Society of Plastic Surgeons, criticises that these
shows make insecure teens believe that they can
have the perfect body through surgery.

PEER POWER
The media has also influenced the picture some
boys have of their ideal girl. “Girls feel pressure
from boys who expect their girlfriends to resemble
the perfect celebrity-body model,” says Chantelle
Horton. Jodie also claims that boys have made fun
of her body, which made her very insecure. She
sees surgery as a way to help her feel better about
herself. Dr Rohrich warns, “To believe that surgery
can change who you are only leads to
disappointment.”
NOT JUST FOR GIRLS
How long will it be before teenage boys start to see
cosmetic surgery as a way to feel better about
themselves, just like Jodie does? A survey of 2000
teenage boys by Sneak magazine shows that they
worry about their bodies as much as teenage girls
do and wish they had 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 think about
cosmetic surgery.
The survey shows that young boys are worried
about impressing girls. It also shows that those boys
who feel good about their bodies feel good about
themselves.
Around 84 per cent believe that a better body
would make their life better. They say that pressure
from girls (42 per cent), celebrity pictures (28 per
cent) and comments from other boys (24 per cent)
have made them lose their self-confidence. The
survey also says that more and more boys are
buying beauty products because they are taking
more interest in their looks.
Pat Spungin, the founder of www.raisingkids.co.uk,
a website for parents, says that in the past boys did
not worry so much about their looks. But because
of football stars such as David Beckham, things
have changed. In the past he would have been loved
for his talent. Now it is not enough just to be an
excellent footballer. You have to be an excellent
and good-looking footballer.

Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei

Soziales Drama von Hans Weingärtner mit Daniel Brühl und
Julia Jentsch in den Hauptrollen
Jan, Peter und Jule brechen in die Villen reicher Leute ein. Sie
verrücken dort Möbel, hängen Bilder um und hinterlassen kleine Zettel
mit Botschaften wie „Sie haben zu viel Geld!“. Als sie in das Haus des
Managers Hardenberg einsteigen, passiert etwas Unvorhergesehenes:
Sie werden von Hardenberg überrascht. In ihrer Panik schlagen sie ihn
nieder und verschleppen ihn auf eine kleine Berghütte. Dort entwickelt
sich zwischen den drei jungen Leuten und dem Millionär eine
eigenartige Beziehung.

Keine Lieder über Liebe

In dieser Liebesgeschichte geht es um das Chaos der Gefühle.
In den Hauptrollen spielen Jürgen Vogel und Heike Makatsch

Der junge Filmemacher Tobias Hansen vermutet, dass seine Freundin

Ellen und sein Bruder Markus eine kurze Affäre miteinander hatten.
Eines Tages will er einen Dokumentarfilm über seinen Bruder, der
Sänger einer Rockband ist, drehen. Widerwillig lässt sich Markus
darauf ein und erlaubt Tobias ihn vier Wochen auf seiner Tournee
durch Deutschland zu begleiten. Tobias lädt auch Ellen zu den
Dreharbeiten ein, um herauszubekommen, was sich zwischen den
beiden wirklich abspielte.

Rhythm is it!
Dokumentation über ein ungewöhnliches Tanzprojekt in
Berlin
239 Berliner Schüler aus sozialen Brennpunkten wurden ausgewählt,
um die Magie der Musik kennen zu lernen. Keiner von ihnen war bisher
mit klassischer Musik oder mit Tanztheater in Kontakt gekommen. Die
Jugendlichen studierten mit Hilfe eines Choreographen (Roysten
Maldoom) und der Berliner Philharmoniker (Sir Simon Rattle)
Strawinskys "Le Sacre du Printemps" ein. Die Filmemacher haben drei
Schüler begleitet und beobachtet, welche positiven charakterlichen
Veränderungen im Verlauf des Projektes bei ihnen sichtbar wurden.
