Many people have a standard of beauty that they want to meet. The cult of beauty has a strong effect on the psyche of adolescents, causing them to be dissatisfied with their appearance. Negative attitude to himself develops into an inferiority complex that traumatizes the psyche and leaves an imprint on relationships with peers. The reasons for the appearance of complexes and options for getting rid of them tried to figure out “I am a Parent”.

Why do complexes appear?

Adolescence is a stressful time. He is associated with the strong physiological changes, causing change appearance. This does not always suit teenagers. Most often they do not accept their appearance. And is it possible to be satisfied if she constantly prepares surprises: the size of the legs changes, the breast grows (or does not grow), the volume of the hips increases, acne appears. The body is elongated, becomes somewhat shapeless or, on the contrary, overgrown with excessive roundness that attracts the eye. The face also changes: the nose becomes longer or wider, the eyebrows become thicker, hairs begin to break through locally. Children do not have time to get used to similar changes, reject them and become discouraged.

This is exacerbated by the fact that psychological characteristics teenagers tend to find an ideal for themselves - for example, in the face of a star. At the same time, the person on the cover, of course, is strikingly different from the teenager himself.

Adolescents' fears about their own unattractiveness are confirmed by the fact that a member of the opposite sex who likes does not pay attention - he is in love with a school star with long legs or broad shoulders respectively.

Teenagers are generally prone to self-criticism. They know how to find flaws even where there are practically none, while clearly exaggerating their significance, and become categorically dissatisfied with their appearance.

Of course, by watching, you can reassure yourself that this will pass: all girls and boys go through such a period. But we must not forget that, unfortunately, not everyone copes with it. That's why teen complexes sometimes develop into a pathological rejection of one's own appearance - dysmorphia.

But even if we dismiss the possibility of mental disorder, one cannot but recognize the fact that the complexes leave a strong negative imprint on the life of a teenager, causing a whole spectrum related problems in learning and communication.

When should you sound the alarm?

Teenagers are a special category of people: they are rather secretive and withdrawn, they do not want to discuss their problems, especially with their parents.

Often they are guided by the opinion of their peers or the canons of fashion.

However, it is the parents who are most likely to notice complexes in a teenager in a timely manner and help to cope with them.

First of all, you need to state the existence of a problem. Moms and dads should be on their guard in the following cases:

  • The child refuses to be photographed or tries to stand behind peers in the photographs.
  • A teenager avoids looking in the mirror or, conversely, looks at himself for a long time without apparent satisfaction.
  • He often touches his face with his hands.
  • Starts wearing things to hide his flaws.
  • A teenager very often pays attention to certain elements of appearance in other people (nose, chest, height, legs, etc.).
  • The child shows signs of depression: refusal to eat, sleep disturbance, apathy, unwillingness to communicate with friends.

How to help a teenager get rid of complexes?

Of course, children's discontent may seem ridiculous to adults. own appearance. It seems obvious to moms and dads that their child is in such young age looks charming. The trouble is that teenage children do not hear us, even if we try to explain their delusion. Therefore, it is necessary to act gradually, with understanding and tact.

    Be patient. Adolescence will inevitably come to an end, passing from stage to stage. On one of them, parental authority will begin to return.

    Watch for changes in your child's behavior. Even if you think that you know everything about the child, observe his behavior in different situations. So you can understand the fears and worries of a son or daughter.

    Become an interesting conversationalist. Talk about your childhood experiences, secret about your girlfriends, friends and even celebrities - Hollywood stars can present a range of stories for all occasions. Let your stories be funny and funny.

    Focus on the positives without mentioning the negatives. Talk to your teenager about his strengths. Find leverage to boost your self-esteem.

    Transfer the child's excessive attention to appearance to something else. The purchase of a subscription to water aerobics works well, the purchase pet or the desired sports bike.

    Take your teen's problems seriously. Pick up cosmetics for the face together (if that's the case), seek the advice of a specialist, explore the Internet for a problem. The teenager should feel your sincere interest.

    Notice any positive changes in your appearance. Help your child to believe in himself.

Often teenage problems pass into adults, interfering with self-realization in the personal and professional spheres. Teach your child who he is. Prove to him the importance of other aspects of personality with an example successful people. Become a friend and helper in everything: in choosing cosmetics and clothes, healthy eating and doing sports. Be careful and patient.
