I Usually I do not post personal experiences on my blog. However this is something I must share. I was completely infuriated when I encountered a teenage student I am tutoring who was completely gross. His hair was so nasty. He was scratching it and plucking the dandruff across the table. There was white stuff in the corners of his mouth. He clearly had not brushed his teeth, his clothes were dirty, and he smelled like underarms, bad breath, and dirty clothes. At that moment, the session stopped. I had a hygiene talk to him and a conference with his mother. I even let them know that if this situation occurred again, I would no longer accept him as a client. Although there is not father in the picture, there are no special circumstances that lead to this situation like, not having access to soap, water, and toiletries. The student just decided he was not going to properly clean and groom himself and the mother decided not making him do it. Contrary to what some may believe, teenagers are still minors and need guidance. Help guide them in the right direction.
