Ø Sitting on the bike, make sure you know where the brakes are and how to operate them.

Ø After practicing for a couple minutes, the person can release his or her hands while you try to keep your balance.
Ø When you are ready, ride alone. But first lower the seat until you can sit on it and put both feet flat on the ground.
Ø When you are confident you can put your feet on the pedals and coast for a few feet, try not putting your feet down to train your sense of balance. Do this for 30-45 minutes or so, until you have a good feel and some confidence about steering the bike.

Fortunately, my Mum gave me a good medicine. In three weeks, the acnes started to vanish although those showed some black spots in my face.
That was my bad experience with adolescence, though there were still lots of good experience too.
