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

It is true that people, in general, would like to look

younger

than their age and they would try out a plethora of methods to achieve

this

. While there are many factors which make people do

this

, I personally believe that

this

is bad and has many negative implications. There are several reasons which drive people to look younger.

Firstly

, we are bombarded

by

with

a lot of TV commercials which tell us that ageing is a sin. They usually hire supermodels and celebrities who have

a great physique

and appearance to advertise their products and indirectly influence people to believe that it is wrong to age gracefully.

For example

, beauty products are the main culprits who propagate

this

ideology by bringing out a lot of anti-ageing products.

Secondly

, people in some cultures discriminate people who have crossed their fifties, and

this

forces them to do a variety of things that make them look younger.

As a result

, they might even consider going under the knife to look young and change their natural appearance. In my opinion,

this

is very bad for individuals and

society

. From an individual's perspective, he will be forced to use many products which are not clinically tested and certified by the regulators and these untested products could have a detrimental effect on his body. Recently, authorities in the UK conducted a survey on anti-ageing products and found that 70% of them contained carcinogenic chemicals and these products are easily available to the general public. From a

society

's point of view, we are sending a wrong message to our

next

generation by looking down upon the elder population. If we do not end

this

trend,

then

our

plural of "I"

we

offsprings would

also

continue the same and we end up deteriorating our health.

Therefore

, trying to look young has many side effects on a person and

society

as a whole. To conclude, people try a number of things to look young. There are many reasons for

this

and overall,

this

is bad for the people and the

society

in which they live.There are many reasons for
