Teenage years are fraught with enough problems and stressful situations without having to have an acne problem. All this accomplishes is making the teenager feel angry, ugly, hopeless and gross. This can be a reason that many teenagers spend so much time alone in their room. They do not want anyone to see them or are afraid of running into someone they know if they are in public.
The stress of even going to school when suffering from severe acne can make a teenager skip school or fake illness to stay home. The pressure on young people to be perfect and popular is extremely high.
The thought of being made fun of or being called names due to a skin condition is devastating to them. The typical teenager will try anything to rid themselves of the acne that plagues their life.
