I would definitely say that this is the first option: Teenagers' concerns about appearance can affect their feelings about themselves.
Why do I think this? Well let me explain. In the first passage, the person specifically prays for the boy they fell in love with, as well as a new nose. That would indicate that they aren't happy with the way they look.
Now onto the second passage. Alfonso believes that he has to be in amazing shape to get the girls in "cut offs" to notice him, and to think that he's strong and handsome. He wants them to think that he's capable of handling himself, no matter the circumstances. It also states that he hates the way he looks. He's insecure about what he looks like.
I hope that this helps you.
"Nature's first green is gold"
The first half of this line is a metaphor. It compares the beginning of spring and new life to the color gold. Gold is also symbolic of something that is good or valuable.
"her hardest hue to hold"
This half of the line is personification. Personification is giving nonhuman things humanlike traits. In this line it gives Nature, a nonhuman, the ability to hold, which is a human trait.
These lines are describing when things begin in Nature. Most often this occurs in Spring. The flowers begin to shoot up from the ground, and new animal babies are born. This is the time where everything is golden. Things are new, exciting, and innocent. Unfortunately, this doesn't last, which is why it's hard to hold. Things grow up and change. They gain more knowledge and lose their innocence they once had.
Hmm. A bit tricky. This going to be a phony choice, but if you wouldn't mind it, then I would say the "Bratz" movie. It's 10 years old, and was panned by a lot of people, but it still has a pretty good plot like making friends and things that happen in school. Or maybe "Princess Protection Program", which also has a good plot of friendship and what not. I know it's odd and sounds chessy, but if you think about it, they can teach some lessons about life, plus it's appropriate for students to watch.
We can see here that the word that best describes the tone of the given lines is: C) Obstacle.
