You'll thank me when you grow up.

Well, the way my mom tells me she cares for me by giving we food that she says is good for my skin and will get rid of my pimples and acne.
What I get?

















More acne.:dry:

Eh, don't worry, I had that too at your age. No matter what I ate or what products I used on my skin, nothing helped. Don't worry though, it'll pass. Just don't squeeze your spots or it'll scar. >.< Oh and drink lots of water instead of fizzy juice >_>

And in response to what Bei Bei said, it *is* nice that my parents care about me and all, and I suppose I prefer them being overprotective to if they just let me do what I like. It is a pain sometimes though that they still tend to treat me like I'm a child. Okay, I know I'm only 15, but I'm more sensible than they give me credit for, and I wish they would trust me a bit more ¬_¬.
 
I really hope that I can give the best advice I can to my son, no matter how much I make light of the situation now I know that a lot of what I say could make or break him. It's not always about the advice, I think it's a parent's general attitude aswell, and how they give that advice. I think sometimes kids go against their parents because of the way they spoke to them, not necessarily because of what they actually said to them. A parent might be giving essential tips on life, but if they do it in a nagging way it can have a negative effect because when someone nags at you it's natural to want to close your ears.

In some ways perhaps parents need to be tougher and more persistent, but in other ways we should relax more. I don't mean in that whole "being a friend" kind of way, but not being patronizing or nagging, just telling things straight as they are. If I want to tell Jonny to make the most of his school life, I'll try and do it without boring him or making him feel like he doesn't want to listen. Trying of course being the operative word, because sometimes saying things even in the best way doesn't get the message across.

As for my mum, I do listen to her more now that she treats me like an adult- shouting at me all the time obviously didn't work because I never did as she said. And sometimes I do get the "I told you so" from her, but I wish she'd told me so in a different way.
 
Indeed. I know that what my dad says is useful, but I don't always choose to listen.

Oh, and spots?

Shower every morning, and it should keep them under control.
 
drink lots and lots of water. tap water or from a shop. I had bad ache and i used all that stuff like clearasil but they didn't work...water helped sooo much!
 
there is a difference between acne and pimples/zits.
zits are just caused by oils building up underneath the skin, and healthy eating eg vegetables, fruit, lean meats will get rid of that.

but acne is a skin disesase and if its real bad you may have to see a doctor.

all of that has nothing to with the topic but who cares
 
Let's stick to the topic now. If you guys want to make a thread about Acne by all means go ahead.

If anyone continues to go very off topic then I'll have to start deleting posts.
