I have a friend who has mild - moderate acne and does not treat it with products.  She does her thing day in and day out and i aspire to have her strength.  She also almost died a few years ago when she had cysts erupt in her body.  I guess going through a near death experience can put things on perspective.  I personally am trying to focus on all the great things happening in my life and count my blessongs, especially when others around me are suffering immensley.

 

This is something that we have to actively and continuously work on though but it is doable

There was a guy at my high school who was outgoing and not shy at all, he seemed completely normal, except that he had severe acne (although still not as bad as mine). I didn't know him well enough, but it really didn't look like he was bothered a lot by it since he wasn't shy.

In HS i knew a girl with bad acne..probably the worst ive seen in person. Anyways...she never talked about it or mentioned it bothering her and she NEVER wore makeup which just totally baffled me... my acne wasnt anywhere near as bad as hers and i wouldnt even take one step out my front door without full coverage foundation and pounds of concealer. But she was very friendly and had lots of friends and didnt act like she had any acne at all even though it was pretty damn obvious. I literally have no clue how she woke up every day and faced the world how she did, especially with no makeup on. A total mystery.
