Be yourself !

If your teen isn’t happy with what he sees – and few are – it can dent his self-esteem.Try to avoid making jokes about your teen’s appearance – even if it’s meant in a light-hearted way. It’s also a mistake to make light of something that worries a teenager, even though it may seem silly to you. He may be convinced that plastic surgery is the only solution for his nose, even though it looks absolutely fine to everyone else.

Try to explain that other people rarely notice the kind of detail we notice in ourselves.

The better teenagers feel about themselves, the higher their self-esteem and ability to cope with these temporary problems.
