Typical behavior: Poor posture in the teenage years causes muscle strain or abnormal bone growth. Poor posture also can make your teen appear less confident. Because teens may not always listen to suggestions from parents or adults, a careful approach is best for teaching teens to practice correct posture. Talk to your childs Dr at their next well teen exam. They can check for scoliosis/ kyphosis.
