[quote=Anonymous] When this same thing happened to my DD after fall semester, she arrived back at Thanksgiving break, and our housekeeper (from a foreign country) said bluntly upon seeing her walk in the door: "What happened to your face?" (I would have never said anything like that, but our housekeeper is from a country where it is OK to make blunt comments about a person's appearance/weight.) DD took it like a champ. We set up an appointment with a dermatologist who prescribed some acne medication that is helping. (BTW, in our case, DD was the one who initiated the break-up, not the boyfriend.) For our kids, we've always asked them to exercise 1 hour per day in order to get various privileges (like access to the family SUV, money for travel, etc). We've always said that exercising 1 hour per day is essential to your health and wel-being - just like brushing your teeth, trimming your fingernails, etc. So I think that it has sunk in over the years.)[/quote]
