Chronic illness: There are many components of a chronic disease that are hard to navigate in adolescence. At a time when absolute uniformity is desired, there are medications to take at specific times, there are doctor visits ("Where were you?"), and there are hospitalizations which entirely disrupt social structures. Concerns about infection can also limit social activities. Encourage social interactions.
