title: The turmoil of the teens.
abstract: Emotional problems are at the root of many teenage medical problems and family dynamics are often threatened by the sudden rebellion of the adolescent previously thought to be a child. Problems can be traced very often to a teenager's negative body image, since he is trying to ape an ideal while coping with physiological changes that make him feel gangly, fat or awkward. Other conflicts can arise because of our heterogeneous society, where parents of a stricter ethnic origin find their children demanding what seems to them unreasonable freedom.
