THE NEW SELF-HARM
Today’s obsession with injectables and surgical interventions should be viewed as evidence of widespread mental illness.
Hey y’all, Happy New Year and welcome back to another special edition of Unfit to Print.
Apparently the bros are “looksmaxxing” now … sigh.
THE NEW SELF-HARM
My fellow young millennials might recall a Canadian TV show that started airing in the early 2000s called “Degrassi: The Next Generation.”
The first iteration of the Degrassi series came out in the late 1970s, but the 2000s version was the first to be more successful in the United States than in Canada. It even helped launch the career of a little-known actor named Aubrey Graham — better known now as the rapper Drake.
The show was known for covering difficult topics from a teen perspective: school shootings, unplanned pregnancy, STDs, self-harm, drug abuse, and suicide.
I started thinking about Degrassi: The Next Generation again this week, oddly enough, in the context of “looksmaxxing” trends and the rise of plastic surgery and injections.
