No, body image is not important. Every year people spend thousands of dollars on plastic surgery and other body treatments like that. Authority's state that the numbers of people paying for plastic surgery is increasing. American society for plastic surgery shows almost 9.5 million cosmetic procedures in 2010. People think that it is only girls that don't like their body. But boys feel it to. The most important think that you relax and stop trying to change your image. The most important thing is you are who you are and you should be greatful for that.

Body image. Is it really important? We'll in my opinion it is, but it is not. This is a hard topic so here are my thoughts. Yes: Many people, including me think that body image is important. Body image expresses who you are and what type of person you are. You don't want to go to a job interview and your wearing wripped dirty clothing. That would show how you work and who you are. Of you look bad that would be your 1st impression. No: I also believe that body image is not important. I feel that you need to be able to show of who you are. You should not need to put on colourful clothing if you do not feel comfortable in that. And that's how I feel about this topic.

People should wear better clothes to make a good impression.Would you wear board shorts to a funeral I wouldn't because.You don't want to make a bad impression at a funeral people would be crying because you're at a funeral or a job interview were you have to be respectful, wearing board shorts isn't respectful.That's why people should wear better clothes at formal events.

It is and isn't important because you have to wear tuxedos and black shoes on special occasions. If people like the colour black and they wear it while another person is wearing is very colourful clothes most people will think that the person with the colourful clothes is nicer but he might be meaner while the one wearing the black clothes could be much more nicer. If you don't like how you look don't spend thousands of dollars on plastic surgery. So be resilient about it!

I think your body image isn't really important just be yourself and you'll go far. Your apperence doesn't really matter. According to phscologists when people get discriminated they get a feeling that they want to change their appearance and sometimes get plastic surgery, and that is why I think your appearance doesn't matter just be yourself and you'll go far.

No, body image is not important. Yes, body image is important. What do you think? We'll I'm in the middle. Body image can be important to some people. But it's not important to some people. People might just like your personality, not the way you look. So that's why I'm in the middle, cause people might like the way you look or your personality. Is body image important to you or not?

I believe that you should be pressured.For example, when you go to a funeral you arent going to show up in board shorts and a tee shirt you will show up in a tuxedo and long pants, and when you go out for a special occasions you would wear a suit and long pants.that is why I think that you should be pressured

You can look good or bad you get to choose, it is your choice on what you do with yourself.
Look how you want when you want but sometimes you have to look how other people look. For an example, hhhhhhmmm a funeral you might have to we're all black or for a wedding you might were white or something colourful stuff.
So remember, look how you want, when you want.

Im in the middle because your personality not just on looks on the other side you have to look presentable for example going out to furnerals and weddings. You should look nice to be respectful and that's why body image is and is not important.

We'll in my opinion when your a kid you shouldn't pressure your self it's unfair to judge your self you have a whole life ahead of you.But when you are an adult you should dress reasonable like for instance when you go to a funeral you wear respectful clothes with black pants and white top and a tie and polished shoes it's nice to do that.And that's why some times you should pressure your self.

Is body image important for me? I am in between because some people like to be skinny and some people like to be fat and it doesn't matter if you are fat or skinny it is who you are and what you do.if someone walks down the street and someone is wearing black clothes and you say that he is bad but he might be good and a person wearing white or colourful clothes and you might say they are good but they might be bad. It is not that important if your fat that is what you are and what you want to look like and some people are skinny and they what to be skinny. That's why it doesn't matter if you are fat or skinny.

I think that you shouldn't worry about your looks when you are a kid but when you are a adult you should worry about looking respectful because when you go somewhere special and you would need to be presentable at certain commitments.

For example in every state of every country people look different like Rugby League, AFL and Rugby Union. In Melbourne the main sport is AFL. In England the main sport is Rugby Union, and in Sydney the main sport is Rugby League. They all have different builds, shapes and sizes.

So I believe that you shouldn't worry about your looks when you are a child, but when you are an adult, start to take pride in what you wear.

Body image,most people think that it's important but some people don't.I am in the middle.Body image is important but it isn't.

It's important because most people when you go to a funeral,dinner party or a play at the opera house you might like to dress up to go but if you are going to the beach you don't have to wear a dress to the beach and wear a designer swim costume that you don't see under the water.

So I think that you do have to look go sometime when you go out but you also don't have to.

Is body image important or not ?

People should and shouldn't be so judgemental about theirselves because if you were going to a job interview, yes you would want to look good . However if you were just going to the shop that doesn't really matter. Every girl wants to look skinny, preety and have good looks but that alwyas wont happen unless you do something. Research has found that worring about body image can cause more stress. And thats why i think that you should and shouldn't change your body image .

Looks aren't everything, this is why.

Being ugly is like being shot by a conveniently placed shotgun, but then practically everyone would be shot. If someone saw you in the street and yells "UGLY!!!!"
That is a minuscule problem because looks are a nano portion of your personality, millions of people get plastic surgery which is the equivalent of turning yourself into a mannequin. You must do what's best for you which is not how you look or plastic surgery, so many idiots get plastic surgery each year.

The founder of Linfox who was a millionaire was wearing casual clothes and he walked into a truck store, he waited for hour to be served so he walked out to a different truck store and he was served instantly. So he bought a lot of trucks and he walked out to the other truck shop and said to one of the workers your company just missed out on a big deal. Therapists around the world claim that if you show patients how smart they are as opposed to how they look they will be much happier.

& that's why looks are practically nothing

I believe that your image is sometimes is important because for example if you go to a funeral wearing board shorts and a singlet insted of a suit people should wear a suit to show respect do the dead.some people get botox done to them to make them into the perfect person they want to be insted of who they are and being ture to them self.thats why i believe that your image is somethimes important.

People should wear better clothes to give a good impression. For example, when you meet a person and they are wearing inappropriate clothes the first thing you think is, I wonder if they're ever going to get a job.
Job interviews are important because you need to make a good first impression. Say if you were going to a interview for a fish and chip shop and you have bed hair, make up that looks like clown face paint and broken high heels, you are most likely to not get the job.
Body image is important because everyone wants to give a good first impression. I'm not saying you should pressure yourself and get plastic surgery. I'm saying that you should always dress properly so you will give a good impression to others.
That's why your body image is important.
