Many people try to look younger than their age. What are the reasons why people do this? Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?

  The topic of anti-aging is becoming increasingly popular. The major reasons why people want to look younger are increased self esteem and the significant amount of negative societal pressure on bodily perfection. In my opinion, it is very good for people to try to appear younger than their ages because it helps increase effectiveness and efficiency, as well as improved health.        With the advent of social media and technological advancement, it has become
