For All Teens

Many boys and girls of high
school age are much more self
conscious than they need to be
simply because they let them
selves become careless about
their grooming.
They worry about a lot of
little things - their nails
(Which they meant to take
care of the night before, but
didn'D; specks of dandruff on
their shoulders because they
didn't shampoo often enough) /;
their compilations (pemples
and acne can be treated).
In Today's Health, the mag
azlne of the American Medic
al Association, the teenagers
are advised that the very first
thing any self-conscious youth
should do is to make it a habit
to keep himself perfectly clear
at all times.

clean is to take a bath ever,
