Around 75% of the total population suffers mainly from this specially teenagers.</p><p>It is often seen that the teens who suffer from depression because of their looks have gone through terrible consequences. In the present times looks are given more value than the inner being of any person. Some teenagers can even become bulimic or anorexic because of their distorted looks.</p><p>Many a time&#8217;s kids are also seen to be hiding or restricting themselves from social gatherings because now day&#8217;s kids are also conscious about their looks. All these situations develop in the people of different stages when the pressure of looking &#8216;good&#8217; is forced upon them.</p><p>CAUSES OF TEENAGE ACNE</p><p>The real and exact cause of teenage acne is believed to be the hormonal changes from which a teenage body goes through. The hormonal changes results to in blocking of pores and production of oil from glands. This results in a lot of acne related symptoms: blackheads, whiteheads, zits or pimples.</p><p>One thing to note over here is that acne is the result of hormonal imbalance but it also differs with different age and exposure. Pimples if touched results in more breakout and can also leave a permanent</p><p>scar.</p><p>Myths:</p><p>what are some of the most popular acne myths? Well, the idea that eating chocolate and fatty foods gives you acne is one of the most popular myths. In fact, studies have shown that the only food you can eat that will aggravate acne is iodized salt. Although<div

It&#8217;s possible, however, that if you get an outbreak of acne whenever you eat a particular type of food, that you in fact have a food allergy. In that case, discuss it with your health professional.</p><p>Another myth is that only teenagers get acne. Did you know that infants can get acne? And also five percent of women who are over 40 still get acne, because it&#8217;s triggered by their monthly cycle. They will continue to get it until they reach menopause. Even one percent of men still get acne at the same age. Acne is most likely to occur during times of hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalance causes oil secretions to increase and mix with dead skin cells on the skin&#8217;s surface. This combination results in acne. Although acne is going to occur, there are some methods and techniques that can be used to prevent and reduce teenage acne.</p><p>Perhaps you&#8217;ve been told that if you just improve your hygiene, your acne will go away. Again, this is a myth. In fact, washing your face too much is likely to aggravate the blemishes, and may even make the outbreak worse. You don&#8217;t feel to worry, simply check laser acne treatment for your safety. And you can also go for clear light -acne treatment</p><p>The bottom line is that it&#8217;s the overproduction of body oils that clogs the pores and causes acne, and constant washing can&#8217;t change that. Another myth is that getting out in the sun helps to dry out the excess oils, but that&#8217;s wrong as well. All you&#8217;re going to do is risk getting sunburn, premature aging and maybe even skin cancer when you&#8217;re older.</p><p>tinny tong</p><p><em><b>Author Bio</b></em><p>It is very true that development of acne can have a detrimental effect on oneâ?? self-esteem.

Some people have a myth that teens have a desire to get pregnant but this is not true as almost 80% of pregnancies in teen age are unintentional.</p><p>According to the researchers, the main reason behind this is the lack of maturity, education regarding sexual intercourse, contraception and lack of personal responsibility in teen age. Moreover, it has been found that teenage pregnancy is also due to the employment opportunities and limited education or poverty.</p><p>No knowledge regarding birth control or understanding sex is one of the main fundamental cause of teenage pregnancy. Ignorance is also a major reason behind teenage pregnancy. If we look to the scenario in America, we can easily find teens, especially girls, get so much messages about sex. But these messages do not explain the consequences of teenage sex. It is shown as an immediate gratification which prepares girl for sex without adequate education. Although sex can be seen advertised in movies and television, but there is no equal initiative to educate about the birth control. Open discussions should be initiated about sex but this is very rare.</p><p>Any female could become pregnant if she has lack of control on her life or has low expectations regarding her future. In some cases, it has been found that teenage preganancy is also a result of depression that directs them towards risky sexual activities. Some teenage girls end up in p<div

In most of the cases, boyfriends have been the source of pregnancy in teenage girls as girls have an impression that sex would bring their boyfriends more close to them.</p><p>Researchers have discovered a large difference between the pregnancy rates in European countries and others due to better contraceptive services, low child poverty, acceptance of teenage sexuality and better sex education. For example, there is a 10 –fold difference between Holland and US.</p><p>To view the cause behind the teen pregnancy many surveys have been conducted on adolescents to try to understand their viewpoint. According to a study done in 1996 on 58% of boys and 76% of girls, most of the teenage girls had sex just to satisfy their boyfriends. One of the three teens of age between 15 to 17 have agreed that they were pressurized to have sex by their friends.</p><p>To shock the masses, in a study of 1997, it was revealed that 70% of girls feels embarrased to purchase birth control or gain knowledge on sex from a doctor. It is very difficult to determine the relation between the teen pregnancy and its factors. However, researchers have agreed on a fact that teenagers should be educated about the contraceptive methods and consequences of unprotected sex.</p><p>Abhishek Agarwal</p><p><em><b>Author Bio</b></em><p>Abhishek has got some great <b><a

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens and adolescents. It is reported that one of the major causes of teenage suicide is depression. Depression affects a person?s thoughts in such a way that the person doesn?t see that he or she can overcome a present problem. It?s as if the depression puts a filter on the person?s thinking that distorts things. It is very important to take suicide attempts seriously. Understanding that a teen suicide attempt is a call for help is essential in preventing a completed attempt later.No related posts.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>mjb</b></em><div

</script></div><p>An alarming truth: teen girls and boys are both at risk for suicide. Though many do not recognize suicide as a serious threat to a teenager&#8217;s well being, teen suicide is a major cause of death among American teenagers. According to the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH), about eight out of every 100,000 teenagers committed suicide in 2000. Experts estimate that for every teen suicide death, there are 10 other teen suicide attempts. They also found out that almost one in five teens had thought about suicide. About one in six teens made plans on committing suicide and that one in twelve teens had attempted suicide in the last year. As many as eight out of ten teenagers who commit suicide try to ask for help in some way before committing suicide, usually by seeing a doctor or psychiatrist shortly before the suicide attempt.</p><p>Teenage girls are more likely to attempt suicide, but teenage boys are four to five times more likely to die by suicide. Even though teenage girls make more attempts on their own lives than teenage boys, the boys are more likely to actually complete a suicide attempt. They do not allow for intervention, and are less likely to ?call for help? through a suicide attempt, since there is often little opportunity to get males into treatment since their suicide completion rate is higher than that of females.</p><p>What are the major factors that influence or cause teenage suicide?

For this reason, depressed people don?t realize the gravity of pondering suicide as a means to ?resolve? or escape a particular problem. A teenager with depression may feel like there?s no other way out of problems; no other escape from emotional pain, or no other way to communicate their desperate sadness. Some teenagers actually think that attempting suicide is the only way to get their message across to their family or friends. Depression is a very serious condition that can ruin a teenager&#8217;s young life. Young people with problems such as living in a violent or abusive environment, an unintended pregnancy, problems with parents, or a recent break-up with a boyfriend or girlfriend can suffer from emotional and psychological distress.</p><p>Further, teenagers who feel suicidal may not even realize that they are depressed. They may even be unaware of their depression. At times, they can be so emotionally disturbed and see death as the only way out of their troubles.</p><p>We must realize that it is common for teenagers to have some thoughts about death. These thoughts can stem from a variety of causes, and can result in actual attempts on their own lives. Thus, it is very important to take suicide attempts seriously. Understanding that a teen suicide attempt is a call for help is essential to suicide prevention.</p><p>Counselors and therapists can provide emotional support and can help teens develop coping skills for dealing with problems. Constant communication, guidance, and abundant love from immediate family and friends is of major importance in dealing with a teenager&#8217;s with suicidal tendencies. Teens with severe emotional and psychological problems will also benefit by joining a support network for young people who are going through the same problems. When depression lifts because a teenager gets the proper therapy or treatment, the distorted thinking is cleared. Depression need not take the life out of a teenager. With proper help and guidance, young people with problems can recover and find pleasure, energy, and hope again.</p><p>mjb</p><p><em><b>Author Bio</b></em><p><a
