your obviosly here to be a clown. And theres only one clown on this website and thats me.
One day i had a big red pimple right on my forehead and a friend of mine said to me: "Whats that!" while he pointed straight at my pimple, he clearly just joked around so I played along and said: "AARRG, noo, I'm a MONSTER!", i tried to make it very dramatic, we laughed and it didnt bother me much.
Thats about the worst think someone said, i guess my friends must be doing a good job at talking behind my back about my acne
In 8th grade, the teacher stepped out of the classroom for a minute and a girl called me CRATER FACE in front of the whole class. I was completely and uterly humiliated and it took all my strength to fight back the tears of embarrassment.
Other things that hurt:
-People that have 1 small pimple telling you "Oh my gosh, look at this big zit on my face...it's soooo gross!" I feel like saying okay did you seriously just say that in front of me, and do you think before you speak or are you just so egotistical that you only see yourself?
- Called Pizza Face by my brother, who only had (1) zit in his whole life
- Having random people point at you and say to their group..."hey look at that girl, no, no don't look right now she will see us looking at her. I am sooo glad I don't have skin like that"
OH! I just thought of the one instance I can remember of someone making fun of my acne...
I had a zit on my nose in 10th grade, the ones I hate the most of all... and this kid who was kinda my friend, but kinda not because he was a dick, called me "Rudolph." I wanted to kill him.
I get...
"EEEW! You have a ton of pimples!"
"You're so dirty!"(I'm not, for the record. Quite sanitary)
"Your face is gross!"
"I know this really good face stuff..."
"Do you wash your face?!?!"(DUH!!!)
"You should go the dermatologist!"(I do, of course)
And, from my best friend, I get lots of disgusted looks and crap like that. And she's really not mindful of acne at all. I told her not to buy me a ceartain moisturizer because it made me break out, she bought it for me anyway. I was peeling, she pointed it out to everyone in the class and looked so grossed out. I'm sick of saying "Yeah, I know, it's gross." to everyone. It's getting old.
just a random sampling:
in 7th grade-
*"u have a bindi HAHAHA!!!" (when i had a cluster of zits in between my eyebrows) said by one of my best friends, go figure.. weird that that one still pops out in my mind to this day
this year-
*dermatologist: its sad for something like this to KILL your beautiful face, WHY DIDNT YOU COME TO ME SOONER??!!!(talking abt the worst acne flareup of my life) and his assistant said when entering the room "you POOR baby!" w/ a look of total pity on her face.. that one caused me to burst into tears
..to add to that, while i had been in the waiting room prior to this exact apptmnt, this really chubby 12 year old girl repeatedly whispered to her brother while looking in my direction. then all of a sudden, she expoloded into laughter.. and her older brother did too.. they were hYSTERICALLY LAUGHING AT MY MONSTROUS FACE!!! for what felt like hours and hours. finally, after he regained some composure, he said to her, "you're so baddd".. and she answered "well i guess thats why she's here" in a matter of fact sort of way.. f*ckin b*tch.. and they started laughing uncontrollably some more.. gee, how fun for me
*my russian mom: "just because you're ugly now doesn't mean you should avoid all of your friends" ..wow thanks mom, that's REALLY gonna help me be more confident NOW
in addition, my mom used to BLATANTLY STARE at me with a look of SHEER DISGUST, no joke(that hurt and made me feel even more hideous), tell me that i destroyed my own face, tell me that it's my fault my face looks the way it does bc "IM THE STUPID ONE' who decided to take birth control pills, and mess w/my body, so therfore i deserve it. um also.. at this same time..when i had these massive cysts.. she used to make squeezing motions w/her hands while explaining to me that i need to get them injected w/cortisone to reduce the inflammation, hence the squeezing visual, and constantly get on my case when i'd eat chocolate bc itd cause my skin to "expolode" again ..even to this day she warns me, but i still eat mouthfuls of it just to spite her haha..
ok some more cruelty from my dear mother.. whenever i'd have a doc apptmnt this year..which was A LOT.. my mom would always, and i mean ALWAYS, find a way to bring up my "MAJOR ACNE EXPLOSION" and embarassingly go on into detail abt it and ask if it is somehow related to my health, when there is obviously no correlation...wtff, as if im not self-conscious abt my skin already, way to bring more attention to it. when its SOO UNECESSARY..jeez.. she also told ALL of her friends the detailed story of my monstrous breakout.. meaning, like dsigusting details of how bad, disgusting and inflamed my face was, when clearly no1 wants to hear that.. and i kno this bc iv heard her telling them over the phone numerous times!!! she even told some of my friends whom she ran into!! my mom has NO sHAME.. not to mention, the most insensitive person... but its aaight now cuz my skin is all clear with the exception of some minor scars and guess what?? NEver ONCE has she commented on the improvement of my skin!!!
oh and when ppl will rub or touch their face in the area that your complexion is bad, almost to remind themselves that their skin is not as bad as yours.. i just feel them thinking: "thank god my skin is not like that..let me feel its perfect smoothness once more just to make sure that it has not been contaminated since speaking to you".. gRRR, its those nonverbal cues that piss me off the most.. perhaps i am too paranoid.. i doubt it tho
my friends draw pictures of me with my acne all the time, its pretty cool tho, they use a red marker and everything. i wouldnt call it mean, the teacher even let them hang one of the pictures up on the white board in class. we even had a party once in class where we brought in food and everything to celebrate my acne.
Oh, that's nothing.....
.....I was made poster boy for the Jerry Lewis Acne Telethon.
The girl I liked said this in front of me and other friends:
"Oh you know there's this guy I know who's totally hot oh but ew he has pimples..."
Omg.. just yesterday I was driving around with my two best friends (a guy and girl), and they were talking about some old english movie.. about some sexual scene in it... and then my guy friend is like "She was ugly though.. she had acne and stuff".. and my other friend was like "ewww"
... and then I snapped at them and said "uh, thanks guys.. I have acne?!". Then it got silent lol

honestly i would never take you for having pimples. yeh you might get them but your overral tone is beautiful. you look normal to me. maybe thats why your friends didn't give two thoughts about what they said.
I still need you by the way.

Thank you!
My skin sucks in my opinion still.. thank God for makeup
hmm where do i start....
My dad said once that my face looked like a mine field, he normaly calls me spotty or crater face.
whent in a sweet shop 2 buy sun flower seeds once and the bitch working there didnt want 2 sell them 2 me cos she said my face was bad enough as it was.
My gf kindly keeps reminding me i should use lotion or that i have this spot god knows where (YEAH TY 4 THE GODDAM SUPPORT I WAS WORKING AT IT NEARLY 30 MIN B4 MEETING U SO IT DIDDNT LOOK THAT FUCKING BAD)
My lil sister does these cute drawings of me where im 20 times taller then the rest of the ppl she draws in the painting but of course with the lovely dots done with red felt tip all around my face.
l8ly i dont really give a shit nemore but i normaly feel like beating the holy crap out of the first asshole that gives me shit :s
"Oh my zitty sweetheart!" (Granny when she was meeting me.... she constantly talks about my acne)
"Dude, you got such ZITS!" (That guy is a bastard, he constantly tells people in their faces about their disadvantages like acne, not pretty legs, etc...)
"What an ugly fuck!" exclaimed some girl in the cafeteria...
Also when i go behind some people and they suddenly turn around they sometimes exclaim something like "AH" or "Whoa!" or "Oh my God"
I read in this thread that many were dissed by little kids. But I like little kids, they never told me anything bad and i feel comfortable with them.
today i was starting another week of counseling at this summer camp and when they told me where i was workin, the 1 girl in the group (she is 11) said "ew i dont want him! his face is demented!" right in front of the girls my age i gotta work with and then she kept sayin "he's scary" and " i like him cuz he's ez to make fun of" i was ready to quit but i just kind of shook my head and didnt say anythin... i thought my acne was somewhat mild but now im not so sure... :-k i neva thought id get dissed so bad by any1 let alone a lil girl. and i gotta go back 4 more days! ](*,)
What a douche, she is old enough to know what she's saying is wrong, she was just saying it to be mean, I bet your acne is mild.
The first time I became aware of my skin was in grade 7. I had been one of the 'pretty girls' in elementary school, but beginning junior high i had braces, glasses, and had cut my hair all off. Anyhoo, my 'friend' looked at me in library class and said 'oh my god, you have so many blackheads on your nose'. After that I became obsessed with my skin. I began using rubbing alcohol as an astringent and wearing makeup. I have struggled with my skin since that day. I'm 28 years old now. I'm convinced that the 'over treatment' of my skin with harsh products and constantly picking made my skin so much worse than it would have been on its own. I've been on accutane a few times and it is a miracle drug......but hasn't kept me clear in the long term to the point i can face the world. I have become such an introvert. I've lost friends and my social life. I don't think I looked anyone directly in the face throughout junior high and high school.....until my first course of accutane in university. People who know me probably wouldn't believe how I feel. I think people consider me attractive but at the same time I can't look in the mirror. I am obsessed with my imperfections. My body, the scar on my chin from when I was a kid, my skin,,,,,,,that's all i see.
At the last place i worked, i was working with alot of rough people as a lumberjack labourer. One guy used to always call me junkie, suggesting the little scabs on my face were from shooting up. fuckhead. another guy at work said "when are you going to do something about your skin?" infront of everyone at work. But i dont mind cause he was in a car accident and now he has massive scars all over his face where they had to put him back together.

Haha. What goes around, comes around.
A kid in school two years ago voluntarily slapped me in the face, made a digusted look and wiped his hand on his shirt.
To this day, I don't know what it was that kept me under control, but I could have easily beaten his ass down right there if I was in a normal mood. That was an action that really hurt me.
1. Stupid boy: You're pimpleicuous.
2. Stupid boy again: Can I pop that?
3. Extremely Ugly Girl: You have really bad acne don't you?
4. Fat/Ugly Girl: You need a makeover. I'll bring you some OxyPads, they worked for me. I can make you better.
5. Your makeup is really messed up.
6. My friend: What turns you on? Boy: Girls who don't have pimples on their necks. *Pokes my one freaking pimple on my neck*
7. I was buying a sandwich at Subway and a Mom asked her daughter "What sandwich do you want?" and the girl said "The one the ugly girl is having." When I came back home crying, I told my family about it and none of them even believed me. They said I was doing it for attention.
8. I was confiding in my sister about my acne and she said "Don't worry I used to be ugly too."
9. I was having a bad time with Retin A because I have pale sensitive skin and it was all flared up and freaky. I was sitting on the couch and my sister was staring at me for a few minutes without stopping. I started screaming at her and I was crying and she didn't even care.
