Acne Scar
Removal
Have you ever met a computer geek?
I am not talking about the professionals that are hired on
the geek squad to go out and help people with computer
problems; I am talking about a geek that sits in a room filled
with computer equipment and runs his life.
My sister’s son fits into this category. In some ways his
life is a bit sad and in others he is a bit scary. He was a
normal healthy child who developed a bad case of acne when he
was fourteen. He was so embarrassed and self conscious about
the acne that he started communicating with others in chat
rooms rather than facing them.
Through this he spent a great deal of time on computers and
found that he had great computer skills. He began making money
off the internet by age eighteen and basically lived his life
in his parent’s basement. My sister knows that I am a therapist
and so she asked me to intervene with her son. He claims to be
happy with his life; however he spends almost no time outside
the basement.
My son, his cousin, is the same age. My son has invited him
to many activities through the years, but he is always turned
down. I told my sister that I thought the key was to start with
the acne scar
removal and to work from there. It was the acne
that caused him to go into his shell in the first place so I
thought this needed to be address.
If he would go through the acne scar removal then he may
gain the confidence to face people and start to live a more
normal life. He was extremely successful at making money on the
internet. At the age of twenty he was making over five thousand
dollars a month. My sister wanted him to enjoy spending his
money off the internet and out of the basement.
I told my sister that in addition to arranging the acne scar
removal she should also tell him that he needed to move out of
the basement. Forcing him to find a different place to live
would help him have new surroundings around other people. He
could afford an apartment or to buy a home of his own if he
wished.
My nephew was very upset when he was told that he needed to
move. He agreed to go to the appointment to discuss the
acne scar
removal, but he insisted this was not why he
spent time alone. One he started the laser procedures on his
face he was a different person. His skin improve drastically
and so did his self esteem. He is still working on the internet
and doing very well; however he is also socializing and getting
out more.
