peer = piercing

I haven't been to class in nearly two weeks.  I am a nursing student, so to miss class is suicide.
my acne has gotten so bad that I can't bare to go.  I don't want to put on make up because it just flakes off and looks worse than when I have none on at all.  However, if I don't put makeup on, people look at me strange.  
I find myself looking at other peoples skin and saying in my head "oh! I want your skin!"  I was sitting in my microbiology class and looking around and saw that not ONE of my peers had bad skin.  not a one.  I instantly had watery eyes and got up and rushed back to my dorm.  I don't know what to do.  my confidence that i once had has been replaced with a red bumpy face.  
I have a photo on my desk of my sister and I on vacation in Oregon, USA and we both are beautiful with wonderful skin.  I remember at that particular moment when the picture was taken thinking about ONE zit that was on my forehead.  looking at that picture makes me want to hit myself.  WHAT ZIT? I now say.  I took my baby soft skin for granted at the first sign of a blemish and now it is gone completely.  ah, the irony of youth. :wub:




hey Franchesca , my name's Laureni read your blog and i can relate to you 100%! i got bad acne when i was 18 and graduating high school (it ruined my whole year), before that i was always the person with baby soft smooth skin...and thought acne happened to people who didnt take care of their skin (how ignorant i wass) i took it for granted too i never knew this would happen to me. This was my first year of college in art school and the first semester my skin started up again and i looked around, and i too was the only one with this problem. I sucked it up until the second semester i found myself such an emotional reck i had to drop out for the mean time. I'm working towards starting fresh next year and hoping all my hard work to get to the root of this problem and elimate my acne works.. I wish you the bestt! stay strong, i think you & i don't see other girls with this problem because there sitting in their dorms or at home too lol...
