Wow, just wow. Usually I don't read long posts like these; I'm lazy haha. But I read this one. There's so many replies and support you've received here though. I think everyone pretty much covered it all. Even though life is putting you down, it seems like you have a positive outlook anyway. "Everyone cries ; everything happens for a reason" etc. I'll admit it, this post brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe people were SO CRUEL to you, including your own parents! I used to have horrible, horrible acne in middle school. I got teased every single day and would sometimes go home crying. But once I got to high school, nobody really cared about it. But at your high school they did I wish I was at the same high school so I could've kicked everyone's ass. And you seem like you have a really good heart, therefore I would've been your girlfriend! lol.

I would really see a dermatologist if I were you. They can get you on your way to being clear. I can't believe your doctor was rude like that! I would've filed a complaint. That makes me so mad. I feel for you. Please keep your head up and keep fighting like you are. In my opinion, you're such a strong person with a good heart. If you ever wanna talk, feel free to message me

Awww I've been there before baby. The reason we are put through these things is so we grow stronger. Only the best of people are put through such hardships because their destiny is to be something great. Sounds corny, but it's true. The only advice I can give you for your peers bullying you is to be a steel wall and don't let it get to your head. I know it's hard, but believe me, they're just lowlife idiots who end up no where in life. Karma will kill them. I used to hate everyone too, but I have learned to accept their immaturity. I just think about how stupid and insignificant they are and brush it off. They obviously are dumba**es and who cares what their puny brains think anyways?

If you're feeling down, think about the kids in Africa. I have been to Africa on a mission trip and I have come back as a different person. To them having water is a luxury. I met a lot of kids had no mother or father, were forced to raise their siblings, had no house, barely any food, barely any water, no belongings, and on top of that, they had AIDs and were dying. Too them, you are the luckiest person on Earth. So be gracious if it kills you. Your life is beautiful, and I know trying to appreciate the simple pleasures in life is hard, but you really should. Be gracious for having three meals a day, water to drink, and a roof over your head. I know that this has been off-topic a bit, but I want you to know acne is tough and it ruins your self-esteem, but if thats your biggest problem, than you are a very lucky guy.

As for the girl issues you still are very young and it shouldn't concern you. My brother is the most handsome, smart, and kind person I know, and he's 21 and still doesn't have a gf. It's because he's picky and doesn't want to waste his time. Girls will just waste your time and rip you apart at your age (I would know because I'm a girl). They aren't worth the heartbreak.

As for treating your acne, I would advise taking many vitamins a day, eating healthy, and staying athletic. I know it sounds trivial, but that has made a HUGE difference for me. Also, keep trying different things from your dermo. Don't give up and be patient. Most importantly, try to stay happy. Acne gets a lot worse because of stress. Find a hobby you really enjoy. It will get your mind off your skin and improve it vastly. As they say, an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

Try to look at life from a different perspective. Life should not be taken so seriously. You sound like a very insightful and wise person. Good things will come to you! Just try to find what makes you happy and go for it. Stay strong, don't give up! Your acne will get better!

"Hold on if you feel like letting go. Hold on it gets better than you know. Don't stop searching you're one step closer, don't stop searching it's not over."


I'm sorry this was corny. But I hope you'll get something out of it.

Reading that made me very sad and angry. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make all of those bad years go away for you and have you restart right here and now.

dang man. sounds like you had it pretty rough. you gotta remember that the Lord constantly tests our faith in Him. All i can say is trust in the Lord, Jesus Christ and he will give you joy. You gotta understand that the Lord blesses each person with different abilities and talents. He says "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." God laid out a plan for our salvaton, God gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross, "so that no man should perish, but that all may have eternal life." Basically what im saying is that all of mankind's sins were paid for at the cross, and that all of man's struggles and difficulties were addressed at the cross. If you want to know more check out the link below. I know Jesus is real cuz he changed my life!!!


God bless you!!!

????? if your so Spiritual then why cant you Pray to God to heal him.
I mean the bible is full of miracles and wonders yet those who believe in it are so empty.
Not trying to make this into a religion arguement but come ON.
God is testing him? could it be the devil destroying him???
how would you know? im so sick of this weak christians talking things they have no idea of.
When i see a man laying hands and healing the sick then i give respect.
to the O.P. sorry to hear what you went and are going through.
I am there with you.

wow...6 lines of BS, and 2 of 'encouragement' congrats :] im glad that religion is the more important topic to talk about in this thread to you instead of useful information or actual encouraging info. Everyone has their own way to soothe one another, you shouldn't judge people on that. At least he cared enough and was BOLD enough to express his positive beliefs to another person in full detail. dont make an A** of yourself and leave people alone. It would make this thread a lot more friendly :]

i hate it when people say have faith have hope . . . . they dont even know. i have and have had it and im a 20 yr girl, i dont want a bf i dont want anyone, i need to see the things in my life that are good, like my dogs my horse my mom, i do believe in god and i hope he uses all this pain to help someone elses life. but when it comes to acne, i have done everything (yes acutane diet change antibiotics birth control bla bla bla) so when it comes to acne my hope is very low, and on top of that i put my self in a bad situation and got raped o hurray now my acne is everywere ! severe acne covers and i mean covers my neck face arms chest shoulders stomach and back, so stress obviously causes it to spred . . . your not alone. and im not going to tell you what helps because when it some to really bad acne im not sure anything does.

i sort of agree in a way, like you cant just sit there and hope your acne clears up, i think you have to actively do something about it. i mean, there has to be SOMETHING out there that will clear your acne, right? as long as you keep trying thats all you can really do so do that and enjoy life while your still living
im sorry about what happened to you, but dont give up just yet. i think the one thing people dont do for their skin is giving it time. especially with severe acne(i had mild-moderate so i might be wrong, but its just my opinion from experience and reading other posts), using a certain treatment for one or two months isnt going to give you clear skin, you have to use one thing for a long time to let your skin clear out all the bad stuff

. . . if you start a new face wash ect with severe acne you should see healing and inprovment with in 2-4 weeks . . . it takes a month for your skin to go through all 4 layers of your skin. im trying all i can to do something about it . . . but im kinda at a dead end . . .

actually your skin gets worse in the 2-4 week range, its something to do with clearing out the stuff underneath your skin, and your skin clears slowly from there. i really do believe in the being patient thing, just keep at it for a few months and your skin will get clear. nothing really works within 1-2 months, i had mild/moderate acne and it took me 2 months to get clear, and even then i still have red marks to deal with, so itll take anyone longer than one month to get clear

i dont really know the science behind it but i do think it gets worse. i think a lot of people who got clear using topicals (especially DKR people) can agree with me that you definitely get worse, unless your acnes really mild
so not really improvement, but change. then improvement

its deff gotten worse, i have cystic acne now . . . and i used to have it bad just on my jaw line and jaw erea . . . now it covers my whole face neck arms back shoulders stomach . . . hah but i guess im going on acutane again because nothing will get it clear and i will have bad scars . . . thats what my derm said anyways, i wish there was another way but just glad there is something that works . . . even if jusst for 3 years.

Well its good you have something that works for you already
You probably want to take a derms advice over mine especially if its severe, probably dont want to take any big risks, yknow?
Good luck, hope it gets better
