Incorrect diet and lack of adequate rest can affect the teenager quite severely. Encouraging your teen to eat well, sleep longer, or rest for short periods during the day should prevent excessive fatigue. One of the most obvious problems experienced by teens is skin blemishes. Although common, unsightly acne is very difficult for the teen to live with. Acne is caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body.
Oil glands become more active, and oily skin produces blackheads or pimples.
If the surrounding skin is irritated, the oil sacs break and result in acne. Most doctors agree that the best treatment for ordinary acne is keeping the face very clean and keeping fingers away from any blemishes. If your teen has severe acne, however, it's a good idea to have a doctor see it because severe acne can leave scars. Accidents are a serious problem for teenagers. In fact, accidents are the greatest single cause of death among adolescent boys, especially those aged 15 to 19.
