<p>Curtisny,
If he has social anxiety, I suggest that you get him to a therapist or counselor who can help him with that problem. It is one of the easiest psychological problems to cure. What is a major help in young people getting over that problem is having parents who encourage and help them to face the social situations they are afraid to face. What doesn't help them is allowing them to avoid situations that make them anxious. It really is a problem in which exposure and practice makes perfect.</p>
<p>There are many acne treatments now. Doctors can help a great deal.</p>
<p>There also are many people who have acne, and even more disfiguring problems, and who do manage to be in social situations. It will be important for your son to realize that regardless of his physical appearance, he still can meet others and make a nice impression. If you let him hide out, you will be inadvertently giving him the message that if he has bad acne or a similar problem, he simply wouldn't be welcome in public, which isn't true.</p>
<p>You also can find some books at the bookstore that can help your son with his social anxiety. In the self help section, one can find books on subjects ranging from making small talk to handling interviews.</p>
<p>Since your son is a senior, this probably will be your last opportunity to have so much influence over helping him with these kind of concerns. This college interview could be a wonderful opportunity for you to help your son get some skills that will help him for a lifetime.</p>
