Also the teenage mother usually has less patience's than other older mothers. This can cause the teenage mother to become frustrated quicker and abuse their child.

eating disoders

There are many different kinds of eating disorders. Some people may not find them to be an issue but I think that it is not a good situation to be in. When someone has an eating disorder they usually have difficulty with self-esteem and other social problems. Therefore they think that by vomiting and/or not eating will help them deal with their problems. But in reality having an eating disorder only makes their lives more difficult. They usually experience mood swings and they can not help but think about their disorder all the time. By getting counselling and/or therapy this can help the people in this difficult situation.
