IMAGE
by Cristina M, Oriol F, Yolanda R and Felipe C
Image has always been an aspect that reflects the ways of a person. But now society is exploiting it. And there are tendencies about clothes or appearence. In the world there have always been people that are different from the majority, but now they can be classified by groups, of social status, ideology, etc. And the concept of beauty is an ideal concept. There is always a way to look at beauty, of course, but now with the newest plastic surgery and cosmetic products, all the people want to be perfect. 
There are some differences in image between men and women that make us different. These differences are created by our society. Men and women differ in some aspects: face, hair, clothes... Long ago men wore earrings in the ear. Later, there were less men that wore them. Now, men wear them again because fashion changes. Here, women can wear skirts, but if a man wears a skirt, people say that he is crazy or he is queer, but in other countries, for example in some countries in Africa, it is very common. Why? We think that if men want to wear skirts, why don´t they wear skirts? We think that it is because we worry about the things that people say of us.  If we didn´t worry about these things, we would be more independent.
    The face is the part of the body that can´t wear clothes. When you talk to people they look at your face. And in adolescence some hormonal changes appear; they cause the problems that worry teenagers. Now, we talk about pimples. Pimples appear because the sebace glands start to work at 1000 revolutions  and they produce a lot of fat. This can become infected, and then pus appears. It´s difficult to give some advice on pimples; usually, doctors and parents say that you don´t have to crack a pimple and that you should let it dry alone. But you can´t really suffer all the people telling you , "Crack this pimple!" or "It makes me feel sick". And if you can bear it, don´t crack your pimples, it´s the best for your skin.
 I can only say that freckles aren´t a problem, because there's no solution for that, and sometimes they are an interesting part of a girl, you know.
Sometimes, we need some devices in our body, especially on the face. They are glasses or teeth braces. They are necessary but annoying, and thanks to them you will feel better in future.
