23. Not to quibble, but......


...here's how the placebo effect would work.

There is no denying the reality of adolescent acne. Observing that its' onset usually accompanies physical and social growth spurts, most clear-thinking people see the connection.

The psychological pressure of becoming an adult, while still sitting in a school desk, is a 'growth spurt' fraught with difficulty, as most of us know. Giving a teenage girl birth control pills would create a psychological self-confidence that would regulate the still maturing physical expressions such as acne.

As always, whatever works!
