Pimple Story Sequel 2: Acne Eclipse

Pimple is one of the major problems teenagers face, it is something that, in some circumstances, may have a damaging effect on their friendly life, confidence & mental health. The acne status can range from mild to extreme, and in some cases is very hard to treat. In addition to pimple being a skin status that is, to say the least, unpleasant, it also have social & emotional effect. This effect carries w/ it a multitude of psychological issues that change teens lives in many different ways.

When thinking back I recall my pimple problem & very clearly remember that my friends & peers were not much of a help to me at those times. Society seems to respond to this skin status in the worst way, when the spirit of the teenager is at its most delicate stage. This is a main reason to why many teenagers try and avoid friendly events, situation where they might be in danger of embracement over a skin condition on which they apparently have no control.

One big problem is that some people do not understand the pimple problem for the mere reason that they never had from it, obviously this creates a bad situation where the teenager is not only made fun for the pimples he suffers from, he gets this from others that very clearly do not have the problem. In more recent years, however, the problems faced by those who suffer from pimples are being more widely covered, and the social & psychological effects being studied more closely.

Some will say that the trouble is our society & the norms it sets, the definition of beauty or of health in certain ages & in certain cultures. In a society where so much importance is placed on appearance & complying to the "norm", higher standards have been set concerning what people do and do not accept. In the defining stage of his life, the teen is extremely exposed to these social agreements and this creates problems w/ the understanding of the limits to improvement and the shame that follows lack of improvement. For teens this very important and sometimes even seem crucial. Many teenagers slowly get used to what other teenagers say about them and within a short period of time become very critical of their appearance & social possibilities, it is of course ridicules that a young man will judge himself for having a skin status but this actually happens and even more, some teenagers begin to develop inner hate towards themselves – because of this social pressure.

The best answer for explaining and combating pimples & its friendly entailments, it is recommended that a parent or a guide of some sort will explain to the teenager that acne is caused by many various things, many elements contribute to the growth of acne. In teens it is believed that hormones are the primary reason, internal secretions cause the body to produce excess oil, which in turn clogs pores & causes pimples. This kind of situation can be solved by regular acne treatment. The parent should also explain that eating certain foods & the way you clean your face also has little to do w/ the evolution of pimples, reassuring the teen at this point is very important as he is very likely to be bombarded w/ exaggerated pimple urban tales that create a feeling like everything the teen is doing is the cause of the pimple, as if it was a torment he could not shake.
