The Uglies Trilogy?

If you've read it, don't you think society is pushing us all to be prettyheads like in the second book? The whole world is going to end up like that cause people go along with whatever is 'in' to easily. What do you think?The Uglies Trilogy?
I think society is pushing all young girls to be thin and beautiful. That is why the population of anorexic and bulimic girls is growing. They also want girls to start wearing makeup at 10 and start having sex at 13 -15. This society wants kids to grow up too fast and never enjoy their childhood. If you read those two, you should also read ';Specials.'; They are all great books.The Uglies Trilogy?
I don't think that society would ever really make it that far. Even in the books, the only reason the whole prettyhead thing works is because everyone is basically brain damaged from those lesions given during the surgery. Even in the books, there's constant rebellion against the standards (the Smoke, and the main characters).





And while lots of people are literally killing themselves (eating disorders, botched plastic surgery, etc.) to meet what society thinks is pretty, there are also tons of people who have self-defined what pretty is (Suicide Girls, etc).
I agree. There is alot of peer pressure and not alot of people willing to stand up to that peer pressure.
