What happens to us early in life affects how we turn out later.
That goes for what happens when we are babies, when we are pre-teens, and when we are adolescents or teenagers, too.
The mental and emotional successes we have early in life can prepare us for success later on because success builds upon previous successes.
The same goes for scars we get when we are young, too--they can be so powerful as to cripple us for our entire lives.
One such potentially crippling experience for teenagers can be the onset of acne, which can psychologically damage a teenager so much that they may never recover enough self-confidence to be able to complete college, build a good career, or create a stable, fulfilling family life.
What college student can concentrate on doing well in their studies when they are constantly ashamed and self-conscious about how they look, especially to the opposite sex? True, some hardy people have been known to take such handicaps and turns them into assets.
But such hardy people are rare, and most people don't measure up to that ideal, if though they would like to.
And who can build a professional career when they are worried all the time about those ugly little zits poking out all over their face and their arms, their hands, and their legs? Impossible to feel comfortable in front of a boss who laughs at you or cringes at you.
And what spouse--man or woman--would be able to feel comfortable with their spouse in public when it looks like they've got a disease all over their face, neck, hands, arms, and legs? It would take a saint not to be negatively influenced by such embarrassing eyesores.
And there aren't many saints out there, right? So if teenagers don't get help with their embarrassing acne problems, it could spoil the entirety of the rest of their lives.
