Acne & The Teenager

I guess I'm not on my own here. I'm not Robinson Crusoe. Anyone with a teenage child will no doubt be able to relate to my experience. You see, my advice just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to skin care. I often wonder if he actually believes that I too was a teenager once. Maybe he thinks that acne is a 21st century phenomenon, something I can't possibly understand having endured adolescence last century. For what it's worth, I actually do remember my own acne experience, even though it was a long time ago. I remember my mother frequently buying me some new solution to battle my zits with. I also remember my fondness for fatty foods. We would stop at the local takeaway joint after school and get a serve, usually three, potato scallops. For anyone who doesn't know what a potato scallop is, it is a nutritionist's nightmare. A thick slice of potato dipped in batter then deep fried until golden, these culinary gems were also instrumental in my gradually broadening derriere when I was about fourteen or fifteen years old. If I didn't feel like potato scallops that day, I distinctly remember opting for a chocolate eclair or a vanilla slice from the next door cake shop. All washed down with a chocolate malted milkshake. Now I know the experts say that acne is not directly linked to a fatty diet, but I can't help wondering what my skin might have looked like had I been a stickler for fruit and water instead. In any case, I now find myself advising my son to drink more water instead of cola, to eat more fruit instead of pizza or bacon sandwiches all to no avail. As he gets older he will change his diet or he won't but it won't be because his mother told him to.
