Acne and Teenaged Psychology
Tuesday, 18 August 2009
When you look good you feel good is a fact without a doubt. No matter how people look at you & perceive your image
but all the grooming stuff you do is to look good. Everyone wants to portray him or herself as if no one was handsome or smarter ever. Especially people in showbiz and media in general are more conscious about their looks which builds up the self-regard in them is important than life.
Similarly
for teenagers looks are even more important than the person inside. This twisted sense of self-image can backfire and lead to some truly horrible results. More and more teens are suffering from depression. Young girls seeking perfection can become anorexic or bulimic. Some kids even isolate themselves and are extremely uncomfortable in social situations. So when acne strikes
how are teens equipped to deal with the prospect of looking “abnormal” or “ugly”? Teenagers can be cruel to each other
and to themselves.
The American Academy of Dermatology has reported that a staggering 95% of American teenagers will suffer acne breakouts at some point during adolescence. Some kids can hide milder cases with makeup or flesh-colored over-the-counter treatments. Some even use their hair or clothing – longer styles
hats
etc. However
sufferers of severe acne must stand exposed
with all their imperfections
for the world to see.
Since acne occurs so frequently in adolescence
blemished skin makes teens fear how their peers view them. Self-esteem and self-worth can be affected when kids are afraid of being judged by their contemporaries. Teens put up with so many anatomical changes that can make them feel “dirty.” It is particularly vulnerable time when kids worry about being accepted
and about the way
they look. Unfortunately
some parents can trivialize the teen’s fears.
Attitudes like “I went through it…you’ll go through it” and it will go away. However
when that first serious breakout happens…acne typically gets worse before it gets better…the teen may rationally agree that it is probably a passing phase. However
while it is “going away
” the teenager remains afraid of being judged by his peers
and serious self-esteem issues can result. These unsettling feelings about self-image can sabotage a young person already confused by this gateway to adulthood. This is a time in a teen’s life when he/she should get out and be involved in peer activities – but fear of being “different” is strong. Parental support can be vital at a time like this. Even when teen’s appear to “not need” your help
playing a gentle supportive role can help a budding adult’s transition.
