Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dramatic behavior (within reason, of course) is a normal part of the teenage years in part due to sheer biology (i.e. hormonal shifts). And, quite often, they have a hard time controlling it. Their inner turmoil is compounded by the fact that they’re desperately trying to pull away from us – a necessary part of growing up – along with the fact that they’re on a massive quest to figure out who they are (which explains why one day they love meat and the next they’re a vegetarian or why one day they have normal hair and the next it’s pink).

Pimples

There’s nothing worse for a teenager than waking up to a huge pimple the size of Mount Everest on their nose. And, of course, those nasty zits always seem to rear their ugly head just about the same time they’re supposed to stand up in front of the class and make a presentation or before a big dance they’ve been looking forward to for months. It’s an unpredictable, harsh reality that teenagers live with every single day – a reality that isn’t merely skin deep.

Even though they’re likely in the good company of a lot of their friends dealing with the same issue (more than 85 percent of teens deal with some form of acne), it can still impact the way our kids feel about themselves, their social life and even their emotional well-being. (Thankfully, acne treatment has come a long way since we were kids and there are plenty of remedies available to help kids combat acne issues

As parents, our goal in life is to pass along every life lesson known to mankind – lessons that will ultimately keep our kids safe, grounded, and on the right path in life. But our well-intended words of advice, lectures and occasional nagging don’t necessarily come off as tender words of wisdom. To most teens, it’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard.
