This video from the Jubilee Project demonstrates what happens when you ask 50 people of different ages, 'if you could change one thing about your body what would it be?'
The interesting thing about the video is that adults had no shortage of things they would like to alter about their appearance -- flaws from foreheads to face puffiness -- and often had sad childhood stories relating to their insecurities about getting teased. Children, however, had a difficult time coming up with an answer. Many of their answers focused around an impossible feat like a mermaid tail or shark mouth.
