Why won't my skin cooperate with my life? Why must I pick between having fun and having clear skin? Its a catch 22. Spent two weeks being boring--going to bed early, rigid face schedule, eating healthy... got almost 100% clear again. Spent a week having fun being a normal college kid--not sleeping much, eating crap, going out and having spontaneous random fun... and I have 5 new spots. WHY?! Goddamn it.
Still refusing to wear makeup. Win for me.
Started my new full time job today at the natural foods store. Cool group of people. All the employees are around my age. Im going to have to leave my wallet at home every time I go into work, because Im gonna spend all my money on stuff there. They have a full juice bar with a professional juicer and they serve all sorts of juices. They have every type of healthy organic food you could think of. Its like heaven for me haha.

Sweet deal! I'm starting a new job as well, I think I start tomorrow. But you have an awesome job, cool environment!
Acne is.. dead, dying.. going down. Not sure why, and not sure why it ever came back this past week. Everything I'm doing is about the same. Here's to the future!
finally got rid of this stubborn blackhead I had on my cheek. I had left it alone till it finally rose to the surface. thank god! its such a good feeling when you get those suckers out without doing any damage. still have the pimple that popped up yesterday, not going to worry too much. things could be a lot worse. for some reason now that im 21 and I can legally drink I don't want to. I know that alcohol is bad for your skin so it makes me not want to drink. and I know if I go out to a party I have to drink a lil. so many Halloween parties this weekend. don't really feel like partying either. I feel like a lame for not wanting to go out even though my skin is clear. guess partying is out of my system now.

Whenever I go out and party, which is rarely, I guess you could say I'm the type of guy that fetches people water whenever they're puking their brains out. I only have a drink or two, but overall, the only type of parties I enjoy are raves. Letting go, expressing yourself, and having fun. Not getting wasted or popping pills just to fit in, despite quite a few people at raves doing that stuff, but regardless, partying isn't something I would do all the time. Hell, I'm not even above the legal age, so there's no rush. I'm into all kinds of electronic music, so anything with that is usually a lot of fun.
I have a really huge fear that weight lifting will stunt my growth....idk who to believe
Don't go to heavy and don't go too hard on your legs i.e. heavy squats etc and you should be fine. Exercises like pull ups can actually increase your height by strengehthing your spine and giving you better posture.

All I basically do it single dumbbells curls and push ups.

I wouldn't worry about it at all unless your under 13 and feel like your extremely short or something for your age.
Acne is staying away for now. But I wish I could get to the bottom of my breakouts...

Then u have nothing to worry about.
If u do push ups pick something up like push up pro, something with handles which will let you get down lower.
Thanks for the workout advice guys.

Anyways I wish I was invited to parties and hangouts and concerts and stuff.....having no friends sucks...I feel like Im missing out on my highschool experience......and I feel that if I ever do get the chance to get freinds years from now, I will just fuck it up because of my lack of experience.....
I havent had a really BAD breakout in a while, but I think I just stopped caring about the little tihngs. I have light acne. But when I see a zit or two, Im like 'Ehh idgaf" Cuase really its no big deal. At all. I used to freak out and coat them with chemicals, but now, just no. Who cares. I get breakouts still some worse than others, my skin gets weird and does silly things, but Im also learning that my skin knows how to handle itself. I cannot tell you how well it does when I just leave some stuff alone, you know? And I dont have bad acne like I used to anymore. The girl with ginat papules bleedinng on her face and burnt cheeks is over a year behind me. As Ive gotten into highschool I see that everyone has acne. EVERYONE. And no one ever fricken notices. Honestly. I dont even notice it on others anymore. I sometiems dont see it on me. No one cares either. So I have stopped crazy regimening my epidermis to shreds and just washing when I can, sometimes Im out and dont use the same face wash and I SURVIVE. Haha. And using the one thing my Dermatoligis prescirbed. Duac since January. And it works. And thats it. I hopemy skin stays in such good fourtube for my teen years andtwenties. I am just a freshman and have only had acne for two ior a little more years. Maybe Ill be back here a next year crying about cysts, I sure hope not. But right now, I lvoe the skin Im in, even though it has three little zits on it right now. Whatever, im proud(:
Thanks for this thread its just what i was looking for...
I dnt want to go out today. I already ordered the acne.org product and it will arrive in 2 months. Arrrrggggg soooo long. Mean while its my third day to use benzac 5%. I was suppose to go out for movies.. I just cant. Feel horrible today. Plus my car is overheating and im trying to getit fixed. Just a horrible week.
Not acne related, but I dont know what to do regarding my jobs.
I was working part time at a dog shop in the city, and I really liked it and people I worked with. The pay is not great, and its not full time.
I got a full time job at a natural foods store that is cool, but I dont like it as much as the dog shop. Its a lot busier and hectic and causes some anxiety in a way. Its full time like I said, and I get a 25% discount on everything there but everything is so damn expensive that i wont even buy anything, other than juices from the juice bar.
The store is very disorganized. Im yet to be told what im making (pay wise) which should have been the first thing I was told. Both jobs are temporary because im planning on moving in 6 months, so my goal was to make as much money as possible in that amount of time, and then move. So im just stuck because it would make sense in my situation to take the job that offers more hours, better pay, but I dont enjoy as much vs the job that has less hours, less pay, but i enjoy better. Not sure what to do.
I already told the owner at the dog shop that i got a full time job and that I can work 2 days a week for her, but she didnt think that was going to work. Im bummed, because I did like working there more. Ugh. Not sure what to do.
I'm still very annoyed with my chin. It looks like a mess and I'm just really embarassed! I've been wondering why I've been having problems this month and then it hit me. I've been trying to save money on food so I was buying only cheap chocolates and sweets (I just can't survive without chocolate). At first I didn't realize it's affecting me but I didn't change anything else this month so I think this must be the reason. Well I'll start eating better things again now, I really hope my skin gets better! Just unbelievable... I thought I could get away with this because my skin has been ok for the past few months, lol...*sigh* Looks like I can't have any freedom at all. My skin just gets mad, if I change something. I really hate this acne of doom! I feel so trapped :/
Yesterday had to be one of the roughest days for me in a very long time. I'm not going to get into it, but let's just say it involved a physical altercation with a family member. All because of how I felt about my skin. We're all good now and it wasn't anything big, but it wasn't the prettiest of sights either. Especially for my mum. Other than that, my skin's still the same. Today at the gym, I came across a girl, who was without a doubt incredibly beautiful, yet she had severe acne scars along her jawline, which I couldn't care less about. She covered them up really well and she still looked stunning. Funny how that was the first thing I noticed about her, then as I was getting stuff out of my bag, I came across a guy who had acne that was twice as worse as mine, but still did his thing. I guess I don't have it as bad as others, but it still sucks, no doubt about it.
