TEEN WORLD

I am a 15 year-old male. I have a terrible skin. I’ve had acne on my face for two years and it’s
really annoying. People say I’m not bad looking but I’m always checking myself in the mirror. I
feel uncomfortable when people come up close to me. My acne is destroying my confdence.
I have tried many creams, gels, face washes but none of them seems to work. They just dry out
my skin.
My acne is killing me. What do you think I should do?

I am writing because I need your advice about my problem. I am 16 and I am overweight. I feel
like everyone is looking at me. As I’ve got extremely low self esteem, I prefer staying at home
most of the time. I haven’t done shopping for clothes for ages because nothing looks good
on me. I’m a member of a ftness club but I haven’t been there for two months. I have no time
because of school work. What’s more, I eat a lot, especially fried food and chocolate. I know
they’re unhealthy but I can’t stop eating. What should I do?
