New Image Survey Reveals 'Perception Is Reality' When It Comes To Teenagers With Acne
In today"s image-obsessed society where millions of photos are uploaded daily through digital networks such as Facebook and Flickr, how much of an impact can a common skin condition like acne have on the life of teens? Based on first impressions, teens with acne are perceived to have different personality and social traits than if they had clear skin, according to results of a new online perception survey sponsored by the American Acne & Rosacea Society (AARS), and co-authored by Dr. Eva Ritvo, psychiatrist and co-author of The Beauty Prescription.(1) The survey asked thousands of teens and adults to offer their impressions of a group of teens based solely on photos of their faces - with clear skin or digitally enhanced to simulate acne. The results, which are being released to mark the first-ever National Acne Awareness Month, also expose the significant lengths that teens with acne would go to if it meant they could get rid of their acne forever.(1a)

According to the blog, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Catholic Charities USA sent out an action alert saying, ""We must maintain momentum for health care reform efforts with calls and e-mails supporting health care reform immediately. ... Your members of Congress need to hear from you that you support health care reform, and that the system needs to be reformed now."" The Catholic Health Association also put together a YouTube video showing people displaying messages such as "I can"t wait for health care reform" and, "We can"t wait until the signing ceremony." Judie Brown, president of American Life League, said, "All these organizations claim to be faithful to Catholic social teaching -- which unambiguously and passionately puts respect for human personhood at the core of all other social and charitable works," but "these same organizations are undermining the very foundation they exist to protect and foster: the dignity of human persons and the sanctity of their right to life" (ProLife Blogs, 7/29).
