BAT

I'm going to use this post to tell you about one of my lesser mentioned but considerably more common conditions. That condition is B.A.T.

It is a hormonal imbalance that affects adolescents and has a wide range of symptoms, which vary from person to person. Symptoms can include: sleep disorders; skin conditions, particularly acne; aggression, social disorders ranging from social anxiety to a compulsive need to fit in, a proneness to apathy and boredom, stress, mood disorders, sexual frustration and opposition to authority.

I've had this condition for a little over 3 years and I know quite a lot of other sufferers. The condition typically ceases after about 7 years, though some symptoms can disappear before that or carry on after.

Oh, I nearly forgot. B.A.T. stands for Being A Teenager.
