Comparison

Low self-esteem

Due to hormonal reasons, teenagers undergo changes in their appearance quite abruptly. As aesthetics is what everyone notices first, these changes affect teenagers more, even though the internal changes are also radical. From breast growth in girls to problems with acne or body structure, it can be difficult to deal with it all. Dissatisfactions and insecurities result in low self-esteem, in addition to other psychological and emotional effects.

School pressure

One of the biggest factors of anxiety and stress in adolescence is concern about school performance. Demands from family and school can lead to insomnia, frustration, anxiety and even depression. At some point, professional choices also become part of this context, and maintaining balance is very important to make good choices.

Vices

Teenagers, at this point of life, look for stronger stimuli to achieve satisfaction and the desire for new things can lead them to risky behaviors. What happens is that at this stage we begin to act more independently than in childhood, creating a certain space for addictions to be acquired. In addition to the danger of drugs, for example, other problems, such as addiction to technology, are on the radar of parents of new generations.

Comparison

Teenagers compare themselves a lot with others, in terms of appearance, grades and life in general. This thing ends up consuming a lot of our energy. As a result, the teenager can become insecure due to fear, but they can also become aggressive to defend themselves. A feeling of competitiveness is created that can very well cause pressure to be perfect, ending up generating frustration, insecurity, stress and even jealousy and envy.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus, star of the Disney series “Hannah Montana”, went through many problems as a teenager due to the experiences she had during the series. There was a lot of pressure on her and she worked 12 hours a day, which is a lot for an 11/12 year old child. Given this, problems began to arise.

Miley reveals that after finishing the series, she developed body dysmorphic disorder.

Body dysmorphic disorder

Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health condition in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance (a flaw that appears minor or can't be seen by others). But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that you may avoid many social situations. When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you intensely focus on your appearance and body image, repeatedly checking the mirror, grooming or seeking reassurance, sometimes for many hours each day.
