Many students would cut out plastic surgery

This week, Pulse reporters asked their fellow students, "Would you consider plastic surgery and, if so, what would you have done?"

"Yes, on my face, because I had surgery on my broken nose and it doesn't look right." -- Kelsie Call, senior, Mountain View High School

"Yes, but I don't know what I would do yet, because I don't know what's going to be the worst part of me later on." -- Tiffeny Tam, senior, Cottonwood High School

"Maybe if I got really burned, then I would do it, and for nose jobs, if you have the money, then do it! There's no reason why you can't look good." -- Derek Young, senior, Cottonwood

"I wouldn't ever get plastic surgery. I think it's dumb." -- Matt Rowley, senior, American Fork High School

"No, I would never consider having plastic surgery done, unless I had some deforming scars from a car accident." -- Rachel Wagstaff, senior, Highland High School

"No, because I'm happy with the body God gave me, and I have nothing to enhance." -- Laurie Barton, junior, Cottonwood

"Yes, on my feet. My toes are ugly." -- Brittani Ballantyne, senior, American Fork

"I think plastic surgery is wrong because my mama always told me that you are who you are, and that you shouldn't change that." -- Veronica Mezza, sophomore, Highland

"I think it's absurd to get plastic surgery because if you have that much money, you should be spending it on something worthwhile." - - Katie Sampson, sophomore, Highland

"No, because if I'm not happy with my body then no one else will be." -- Ashlei Hazleton, sophomore, Cottonwood

"I would never have plastic surgery because I like who I am." -- Bojan Pasalic, sophomore, Highland

"No, because my body is a temple." -- Stetson Bates, sophomore, American Fork
