The majority of people develop acne at some stage in adolescents, often beginning with the development of blackheads on their nose. Children as young as eight regularly visit dermatology clinics looking for acne solutions. The first important point to remember is that the black “dot” at the center of that blackhead isn’t dirt, but a combination of melanin and cells that turn black when surfaced. Unfortunately, acne carries a stigma that often lead to teenagers feeling dirty or embarrassed about the development of acne.

It’s estimated that over ninety percent of teenagers aged between 12 and 17 will be affected by acne and similar skin conditions at one stage or another in life. It may be an occasional pimple, or it could be a full-scale breakout. It may not be limited to the face; acne may also develop on the neck, chest and back.

Adolescence can be a testing time – perhaps the understatement of the year. Bodies develop, hormones are high, and teenagers find themselves facing new social experiences. Acne issues simply add to the mix and can lead to extreme frustration, embarrassment and discontent.

Teenagers are the main age group feeling the affects of acne, due to natural body developments and hormonal changes. Both growth and sex hormones – which, as their names imply, are responsible for physical, mental and sexual development – swing into action during the onset of puberty. For adolescent males, the hormone responsible is testosterone, which is produced in the testes. In female teens, the primary hormones are estrogen and progesterone, which are produced in the ovaries. Androgens, the sex hormones also cause sebaceous glands that secrete more oil, affecting the condition of the skin.

Unfortunately, less than ten percent of all teens affected by acne actual visit dermatology experts for diagnosis and treatment. Many will take the advice of various home cure resources, some offering valuable insights, some less valuable such as the use of toothpaste, dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol and even Preparation H to reduce pimples. These solutions aren’t developed as a cure for acne, and can have adverse affects on the skin. While you may think hydrogen peroxide and alcohol, as disinfecting agents, would reduce bacteria and cleanse the skin, the tend to dry the skin to an unhealthy extent and can actually make acne worse. There are many products on the market – both prescription and over-the-counter – that are specifically designed for acne treatment that come highly recommended.

As all teenagers affected by acne know, it can be difficult, but very important to talk to your parents about the psychological effects acne has. A common myth is that teenage acne means ‘bad skin,’ it is actually a simple development stage. In many clinical studies, acne sufferers share feelings of depression and some have even felt suicidal as a result of acne. This is an extremely alarming issue, considering acne can be treated simply by educating yourself about acne and effective treatments. Parents need to be aware if a teenager is becoming anxious, depressed, ashamed, humiliated and embarrassed. Such anxiety affects behavior and attitude that reflect in poor school performance, discipline issues and often effecting social skills. Teens may develop body image problems, and you may start to withdraw from friends, family and generally become more introverted. This can be seen in changes as small as a teen that suddenly stops going to parties, school events and social events.

Acne can often affect family life and create problems within the family unit, as frustrations grow children tend to act out against parents and siblings. It can be extremely difficult when other family members make jokes about the situation and humiliate with subtle remarks.

Needless to say, acne can turn relationships into a nightmare. There’s nothing worse than preparing for a big date and noticing a pimple in the middle of your face. You begin to believe that your date will see nothing other than your acne- you, the Human Zit – and you may even be tempted to cancel.

As you get older, you may become self conscious visiting, or taking part in interviews and meetings. To worsen the situation, some studies have demonstrated that employers may actually discriminate against job applicants affected by acne. It’s undeniably unethical and often illegal, but it just demonstrates how much importance today’s society places on acne-free skin, encouraging the stigma that surrounds acne.

And being stressed out about acne will only cause it to get worse. There is a direct correlation between stress levels and acne flare-ups. In a March 2001 study conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology, 10% of teens stated that acne is one of the worst things in their lives. Virtually every teen is obsessed with his or her complexion and disturbed by acne breakouts. Sufferers are convinced that everyone around them is staring at their faces – and we all know that kids can be cruel, inflicting damage with names like “Pizza Face.”

Parents can also be a unintentional negative influence, telling adolescents that they mustn’t be practicing proper hygiene, further fueling the frustration. This creates tension and alienation. The best solution for teenage acne can be an informed parent. A responsible parent that takes his or her teenager to a dermatologist and arrange adequate acne treatment. Parents must remember that acne is a normal part of adolescence – not an abnormality. Perhaps they are reacting to their own teenage experiences and painful memories. Some parents may even be embarrassed by their teenagers’ complexions. A skilled, experienced dermatologist can help both teenager and parent deal with the real issues associated with acne.

Good intentions aren’t enough. ADHD money management systems, on the other hand, can help you prepare now for a better tomorrow. Smart (and ultimately successful) people use systems to increase productivity, improve efficiency and to save their sanity. One of the ADHD side effects I always look for is poor money management.

You have ambitions, a vision for your future and important goals. Your dreams might include owning your own home, buying a revenue property, retiring early or starting your own business. These dreams all demand money, probably more than you have right now.

Of course, you’ll need to make some choices, prioritize your objectives and define exactly what you’re trying to accomplish, but once you do that, you’ll need more than good intentions to make your dreams come true.

Successful adults with ADHD will tell you that the key to success is not relying on your own abilities to get things done. The real secret is using your abilities to set up systems. ADHD systems for money management are particularly powerful. These systems take over the mundane, repetitive tasks you are unable to do (and that would be a waste of your intelligence, creativity and energy.)

The most common money management and retirement planning solutions used by adults with ADHD include:

• doing nothing (spending every penny you make just to get by and not putting any money away for a rainy day falls into this category), hoping you’ll either win the lottery or be able to move in with your kids when you retire.
• using credit cards, “easy” payment plans and debt consolidation to keep digging a deeper hole you plan to “magically” get out of when you finally strike it rich.
• relying on someone else (your spouse is usually stuck with this task, although if you’re single, this option is usually replaced by one of the first two.)
• swearing that this year will be better, you vow to prepare a budget, pay yourself at least 10% of your income first, plan for your taxes by making smart investments, charitable donations and wise business moves (this plan typically lasts until the credit card bills come in and you revert back to one of the previous three options.)

There is no magic solution for having enough money to make your dreams come true. While you are young, working and earning, you must save money for the future. One of the most common symptoms of ADHD in adults is lower earnings and poor financial “health.” That’s because promises, intentions and hopes won’t cut it. ADHD money management systems, however, can enable you to have a very successful financial future.

In fact, do it right and this is one of those occasions where ADHD works to your advantage. Every personal finance guru will tell you to set yourself up for “automatic” success by using systems to save and manage your money. They know systems work much better than relying on discipline or good intentions, and your ADHD habit of relying on systems to handle things you cannot or don’t want to puts you ahead of the game. All you need to do is set those ADHD money management systems properly.

If money management is presenting a special challenge for you, you may want to consider ADHD coaching to ensure you’re working with someone who can help you set up systems that will meet your special ADHD needs. ADHD Money Management Coaching programs can help you put the right ADHD money management systems in place while you maintain control over your financial future.

There is a misconception that people who work at home have it easy. This may be so since they set their schedules, wake up any time, do not have to dress up to go to the office, and work at their own pace.

Most people think that those who take the home-base route also work more effectively than those in the office because of the relaxed environment and the absence of a strict boss who constantly looks over their shoulders.

“It is all hoopla!” say the people who work at home. According to them, working at home is more challenging than being in the office. First, because of the absence of time pressure, you will have the tendency not to set a schedule. If you made one, you will be tempted not to follow it.

For instance, if you have set yourself to work on a particular task at 2 p.m. and your favorite talk show suddenly airs a re-run of its best episode for the year, you could forego the work schedule and, instead, watch television, thinking that the task can be done later. A lot of “laters” later, you find yourself cramming and getting all stressed out become your deadline is in an hour.

Second, because of the absence of a boss who watches you like a hawk, you will be tempted to do other things and find ways to stall. You might find yourself taking a nap instead of working on a task, or taking a bath longer than usual. Or you might get carried away surfing other Web sites that you’ve forgotten the assignment that you need to finish right away.

In short, there are a lot more temptations at home than there are in the office. And if you’re a mother working from home, the challenge doubles, because your kids will be calling on you from time to time.

The key to succeeding in a home-based work setting is to manage your time well. Here are some tips to help you REALLY work at home.

- Maximize time: because you are aware that handling time and distractions is difficult when you’re working at home, you must maximize the time you spend accomplishing tasks when you’re really in the mood. Find out if you work better in the morning, in the afternoon, or in the evening, and then commit yourself to sitting at your desk and accomplishing all that you can during your peak times.

- Set up a professional-looking office: Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you can’t have an office that looks like the real thing. Choose a quiet corner in the house or a room where you believe will minimize distractions while you’re working. Design the area the same way an office would look so that you don’t feel that you’re just at home. This way, you will have a notion that you’re somewhere else.

- Discipline yourself: Who else would do this but you? Act like your own boss and berate yourself every time you are tempted to stray from the job at hand.

If you really value your job, you will eventually find the will to work. It could be difficult at first, considering that you can always change your mind and leave things as they are, but you should always keep in mind that the earnings you get from working at home are the ones that pays the bills and buys all the necessities in your life. This should be motivation enough to keep you alert and working.

Recently I was very disturbed by an article I read in the Raleigh, N.C. News & Observer concerning grades at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. The article was about grade inflation. This was the part of the article I found most disturbing:

Gilleskie, the economic professor who crunched the data for this new grade report, has struggles grading in an honors-level economics course that involves a great deal of tough written research. In a class of 15 honor students, the work ranges from very good to “really bad” Gilleskie said. But it’s very difficult work, so should she give C’s to students low on the ladder?

She gives mostly A’s, she acknowledged.

“They’re undertaking a task that very few others have done, and the fact that they got through it is an accomplishment,” she said. “But is that right? That’s what I struggle with.”

This is a struggle? Attending class and doing crappy work is an accomplishment? You know what I think? Gilleskie should be fired.

She gives A’s for really bad work. What does that teach anyone? Isn’t her job to TEACH these students? Wow – guess a degree with honors from UNC Chapel Hill is a huge joke. Hope the parents and students paying for that don’t mind. Hope the students that are doing really good work don’t care that their honor’s degree is made meaningless by this teacher’s actions.

I do think that if our institutions of learning refuse to reward excellence and only excellence, we will fall farther behind countries that do. If we celebrate the ability to win a video game over the understanding of a work of Shakespeare, we will get what we deserve. I’m not saying that we obliterate the former, not at all. But we cannot lose the later. The best teachers I had taught me how to think, how to learn, and they created a lifelong thirst for knowledge. There is no excuse for giving a student an A for really bad work.

Employers, next time you hand out an award just because someone showed up and breathed for five years, you too are rewarding mediocrity. What do you do for excellence? What do you give those who showed up with a great attitude and really contributed to the bottom line?

Here are some of the reasons I think we don’t reward excellence:

1.) It’s hard. Someone has to figure out how to define excellence. Someone has to set standards. But our Economics professor clearly knows good work and bad work. This can be done. But it will take some work.

2.) Someone’s feelings might get hurt (or self esteem might get damaged). That’s life. Not everybody gets the dream job, every team can’t win the Super bowl, all swimmers don’t get the gold medal. Some people are going to lose. The sooner in life you learn this lesson, the sooner you can figure out what you do want to achieve and work harder at it. The best thing you can do for someone is let them lose at something. Either they will work harder and get better or they will find something they can win at – something that makes better use of their unique talents.

3.) Someone might get mad. Yep, well, learn how to handle confrontation. Have boundaries. If you change a student’s grade because he (or his parents) pitches a fit, then you are weak. Parents, if you are fighting your kid’s battles, please get a grip. Don’t fight with their teachers, bosses, or anybody else. Or get ready to fight all their battles for the rest of their lives. And don’t think they’ll ever fight for you – they won’t know how.

4.) We have no idea what excellence is. This is different than number one – with number one, you know, but drafting the standards is difficult. In this one, you don’t even know what excellence is! Many companies blab about excellence in their mission statements, but when asked what excellence in their industry means, they can’t even tell you. Is producing green cars excellence for the Big Three? What about comfort? What about profit? Is excellence taking care of over-paid employees for life or taking care of customers over the life of their cars? Is excellence winning the game or is excellence being a good sport? I don’t care if you do win the Super bowl – if you are a gangsta in your off hours, I don’t think you exemplify excellence. See what I mean? What is excellence? Does anyone even talk about it anymore?

5.) It’s not politically correct. What if we define excellence and the short kids can’t be MVP for the basketball team? What if we define excellence and the girls can’t win? Or the green people? When the winners have to be diverse rather than excellent, it’s no longer excellent. Not everybody is good at everything AND IT’S OKAY! I’m not talking about discriminating. I’m talking about setting standards that have everything to do with results and nothing to do with how much money your parents do or don’t make, what color your skin is, what your gender is, or anything else. But people start to freak out if some group doesn’t win. The day will come when a group not represented wins (Tiger Woods is a great example). But if the bar had been lowered so a black golfer might win, we might never have gotten a Tiger Woods. The hours of practice, the hard work, and the discipline were developed for excellence. Any high achiever will NEVER ask that the bar be lowered for them.

6.) We want to make ourselves feel better. Johnny got bad grades and feels embarrassed? Let’s give poor Johnny a prize, he tried after all. Poor Martha has so much going on at home; let’s not pressure her to actually help customers today. It’s not about Martha, it’s about you – you don’t want to feel bad by pressuring her. It’s like loaning money to your always broke brother, you’re giving him the money to get rid of him or so you can feel superior. Want him to stand on his own two feet? Stop rewarding his failure.

7.) Rewarding excellence might highlight our own shortcomings. What if everyone in your honors Econ class fails? Could you handle what that might mean about your teaching? What if your employees NEVER reach their goals? What does that say about you as a leader? What if your kids don’t get in that college you want them to? What does that say about YOU?

Geez – why bother with excellence? Let’s just overeat, quit exercising, play video games, put up with employees who mistreat customers, show up late, dress like slobs, buy things we can’t pay for – oh – and count on someone else to bail us out.

Because the pursuit of excellence gives you what nothing else can – self respect. Stop taking away others chance to earn it.
