I feel so inadequate being a virgin.......I'm starting to get the feeling that I'll never lose it. Or at least not for years to come....I know I'm only 16. But from where I'm from (London ontario) I'm really late.... Whatever. Guess its not to big a deal. Every time I see a girl that I'm attracted to my brain just tells me "yeah see that? You'll never get one of those".......that was a very weird thing for me to admit I just feel left out in a way. Ya know? .......but idk, maybe just the people around me are all sluts. Lawl
You should be proud of being a virgin man. Ive been fighting off the girls for years. Being a virgin doesnt mean you cant have girlfriends; I flirt with girls, I go out with girls, Ive slept with girls. If anyone verbally demands sex from you then its so ridiculous you can publicly scorn them lol, and they know it! Prize your virginity like a trophy. **missed the slut edit thats not cool
Otherwise Im feeling good today. Cant stop thinking about avocado, olive and peanuts. Welcoming healthy olive suggestions if anyones got any...

I agree with greatsite18, man don't worry about being a virgin. I know soooo many people who wish they still had their v card-- cause they lost it to a nobody that ended up screwing with their mind and then dumping their butt the next week. and that's when you feel like a piece of meat (and it don't matter if its a guy or girl). Sex within a relationship is SO over rated. If you can learn to enjoy a girls company without all that you'll have a jewel to hang on to forever I promise
As far as my acne goes-- trying the combination of b5 + L-Carnitine. Hopefully this combo will help finalize my acne once and for all!! I'm soo close to being home free!!
terrible, since i had a haircut today.
I feel good, and hopeful for a change. I've been trying to get my skin back to 100% clear for the past few months and I've always felt like my progress was shaky. Some weeks I would be happy, then the next thing you know a few more spots crop up and it's back to square one. All the while I feel like my face could breakout terribly at any minute. I know everyone here knows that feeling.
But now I feel that I'm finally moving steady towards my goal and the worst of my breakouts are behind me. I just need to be patient and consistent with my routine.
Night night everybody....even though Im egnostic, I pray for you all everynight.

I'm a virgin and I'm proud. Trust me, it's better to be a virgin than a father at an early age. You should be proud that you're still a virgin. It takes more guts to refrain from sex and to ignore the comments as you're still a teenager. Save it for someone special, someone you love and trust, so you'll always remember it as a happy moment. Be patient and wait until you're overflowing with desire and affection for your partner. Remember that some things in life are worth protecting, once you lose it, you lose it forever. It doesn't matter how old you are, where you are, it matters who you're with. Your time will come.
looks like everything is on the healing end.. but so hard to be sure.
we all know what happens.. we begin to heal and then 3 friends pop up to say hey..... 
a never ending cycle.
don't listen to Hans Zimmer's "Time" (inception soundtrack) while reading people's posts here.. wow. depressing.
Well, ive noticed I havent been posting on here the past few days or week. Things are being good. Well, great, to be honest. I havent felt this good in 8 months. No joke. I have had a solid 7 weeks, or more. Not only is my skin looking really good, but things are just falling into place. As some of you know, I finally found a job. I got a job at a small dog shop right in the heart of NYC. Its a chill job, and I work with 3 really cute girls, which is pretty nice. But the job isnt me. Ive been actively looking for a FULL time job that pays more, and I finally found it. I applied to a natural foods store a month ago, and had an interview a month ago, then a second one 1 week later, and after not hearing from them or getting different excuses why they havent made a decision, I FINALLY had another interview with a different section today, and got a call back 2 hrs later, and got the job. Stoked.
So I have 1 full time job, and 1 part time job. Ideally, I would like to stay at the dog shop 2 days a week, and work full time (5 days) at the food store, but itll all depend on if they can give me a set schedule. So im stoked, really. I now have half my goal met. The other half is to work for 3-6 months, save up as much money as I can get, and leave NYC and move to Oregon. Thats my plan, and im sticking with it. Half way to that goal 
And one last thing, regarding acne. The dog shop I work at has 4 employees, including me, and the owner. My skin isnt perfect, and neither are the other 3 girls. They are all gorgeous girls, but each of them has imperfections that a normal person would NEVER notice, but I noticed because, well anyone who has gone through skin issues, notices it on other people. 1 of them has tiny clogged pores on her forehead, the other on her cheeks, and the other had a few small pimples on her cheeks. But honestly, it was barely noticeable and I wouldnt have noticed unless I really looked at their skin, like I do with everyone nowadays hah. And the owner has bags under eyes. So honestly people, NO ONE's skin is perfect. NO ONE! Everyone has some sort of issue. If your striving for that PERFECT, flawless, barbie doll skin, its not realistic. Be happy with good skin. Im happy with mine, and no, its not perfect, but its looking good. Its really nice to be able to have my confidence back and be able to talk to anyone who I have a conversation with, and feel confident, and be able to be myself. Its really nice, and its been a long time coming. Everyone of you can be at that point too. Just because your skin is not perfect, you are no less of a person, even though thats how you feel everyday. Unless your skin is severely infected with cystic acne, you need to let yourself go, and live your life.
Also, if anyone didnt see my latest regimen, heres the link. Its been working great for the past almost 2 weeks.

Wow that's awesome Murph. You should try talking to those girls. And I find it hilarious that a lot of us are always examining other's skin lol. Ahh the life of an acne sufferer

That's so great! I'm happy to hear that. It's always so great to hear things working out for people on this site, especially those whose posts I've come across often and heard what they've been through.
Great point you make about striving for perfect skin. Perfection is not a realistic goal at all. No one has perfect skin. I don't want perfect skin, I'd just like control over it and not to have new breakouts nearly every day. I'd rather deal with red marks compared to constant new and long-lasting acne. Anyway - I hope I can get to that point sooner rather than later.
Congrats again!

Hooray for Murph 
Looks like everything is falling into place for you !!! So awesome. Glad that you've noticed that everyone has flaws and that you are not the only with skin issues, with that said make sure to score dates with each an every girl at the dog shop. lol. just kidding. Enjoy this opportunity.
haha. Its funny because one of the girls (whos engaged, or married, not sure) called me the other day and asked if I could work her shift on Saturday, in addition to mine, meaning I work from 10 am-730 pm. I said sure. And ill have sunday off so even better. And she said ok cool, now you can ask Ashley (another girl who works there) out on a date. haha.
Work work work work work work work WORKOUT work work work work work work work HOMEWORK work work work work work work work work FIGHT.....Redemption shall be mine you prick. I let you tear my confidence for years. But it ends next weekend. When I show to you I'm alot more than your scrawny pimply punching bag.....time to get what's coming to you.
Hate fluorescent lighting! I notice my skin only looks really bad when the ceiling is low and the fluorescent lightning is like barely 3 or 4 feet overhead. Not much active stuff right now, but it looks oily and scarred up. Then I look into a mirror with soft lighting, and my face looks great. Roller coaster ride!

Thats why I only look in ONE mirror. My bathroom mirror. Thats it. I dont want to risk the chance of seeing something in different lighting and make me upset and have my whole day ruined.
I've been ok but I've been having a breakout on my chin for the past month so it looks bad because I have many red dots on it 
The zits just won't go away from my chin! Got 2 new ones today and I can feel a new one forming ugh!!!!! Stop it!! My skin was doing so well before. I haven't posted here in a while but I feel so frustrated at the moment that I just had to complain somewhere. lol
Ahhhhh !! Yesss !!! I aced my exam with an A baby 
Studying really pays off....I cannot wait until i get my degree in Nutrition and Science, i know i will be one great, honest nutritionist
Heading down the right path and it feels so wonderful .
Now cut me some slack and give me presentable skin, im not asking for clear skin all i want is skin with no actives. I dont mind having scars and blemishes . haha jk. I know within time i will achieve what i've been struggling for.
Have a good day everyone. Stay Blessed !
For the first time in a month, I had a shave, which felt amazing and refreshing. The only downside is that being clean-shaven makes my scars that are fading look more visible, but overall, my skin's looking a whole lot better compared to what it looked like earlier in the year. Other than that, earlier in the week, I started breaking out on my chest, which felt like a side effect to the recovery shakes I've been taking after the gym. I bought some protein powder today, so I'm hoping that I don't continue to break out. It's not a big deal though. I'm just happy that after a dark couple of weeks of feeling depressed, I'm ready to get back on the horse and continue what I've been doing.
