That's weird...I don't think people in general would have the heart or nerve to talk about someone's skin problems right in their face...that's like pointing at a disabled or mentally challenged person and laughing - it's so f*cked up.
People around me (and at my school) do talk about acne (which high school student doesn't?), but we never point out anyone's acne or severity of their acne; that's just...not something you should do, you know? I mean, I have a number of friends w/ mild acne (the 2 who had the worst case were female, too) and sure, I notice their acne but I never stare or point out. Acne is emotionally wrecking enough, and if you think of how sad it makes someone feel, I doubt you would want to rub it in and point it out.
And just saying that last sentence actually made me think of something. My dad actually points out my acne a lot, and it really frustrates me because I don't see why in the hell he would do that. I'm a very sensitive person when it comes to my looks, and I'm even harder on myself about my skin because for some reason I cannot accept any flaw w/ my complexion (I already have enough problems w/ the other flaws of my face, which I won't mention). Everyone in my family knows I really care about my looks and they make fun of me and call me a "pretty boy" sometimes. Whatever, but....like, if I have one bad zit, I'll be pretty damn bummed - and when my dad sees me, he'll be like "You have a zit on your forehead" or "Why do you have another zit? Stop eating spicy food" or some shit like that. I've literally bitched @ my dad like crazy for what he does and he's shut up and not said anything and now he doesn't point out my acne as much, but...still. >_>
lol she's obviously jealous but I hope you reply when she is saying that stuff to you.
Actually no, i don't. She's like dealing with a kid. We just let her run herself into the ground and keep quiet on MOST things (but not all). That way when she's bad mouthing us to his daughter it just makes her look that much worse. We actually think she may be bi-polar, not that she would ever see a doc. Anyway, she's not a normal person. She can be very very hateful. She has feelings, but apparently no one else does. (including her own kid) She's not the brightest bulb in the pack. It's not entirely her fault. It's family history. Her mom is that way too and she was just never taught any better.
It works out well for me though. Doing things like taking my boyfriend a drink when he's working outside is a really big deal for him. He loves it and makes a huge deal about it. Just because he was never treated very well in the past. That's not why I do it, but at least I don't have to fell unappreciated.

"People in general" have common courtesy. She, in turn, does not.
I don't want you guys to think things with my bf are all horrible. We have an amazing time together and I am actually moving in tomorrow. We aren't going to let her ruin something we waited 30 years for.
After reading thru most of this thread I was pondering abt the difference btw the western world and the eastern world. Seriously man some of the ppl mentioned in this thread are really cruel.
I am from Singapore and i can say I've never met any of these shit in sch be4. of course my relatives did say something but they were generally well-meaning, as did my friends. But seriously i was never insulted, not even by the seemingly popular pizza face.
Yesterday, they were offering free henna tattoos in a party. I was in the registration table, so I needed someone to replace me before I can have mine.
This vile creature approached and asked me why wasn't I queuing for the henna.
I said I will, and that I was planning to have one on my wrist.
He grinned at me and suggested a better place: he was pointing on his cheeks.
That devil. I felt so insulted, I decided not to have a tattoo anymore and went home after a few minutes.
"You need to stock up on the fucking clearasil man" - seems to be a popular one.
"You're the ugliest girl I've ever seen" - can it possibly get much worse that this? I nearly committed suicide that day.
I think what hurts even more than words are the looks people give you. That look of utter disgust. It makes me feel like I've been hideously disfigured in a car accident or something and half my face must be falling off for someone to look at me like that - but oh no, it's just acne. JUST AS FUCKING BAD in my opinion. You know I used to pray to God and say "God, I know you have to give out a certain amount of bad things, so how about I trade you my acne for obesity?" and I honestly wished I could. That's how much acne kills me. I wonder how many people have committed suicide JUST because of their acne. I wouldn't be surprised if it were millions.
I have been called crater face. someone said I was on meth. THis one guy said if I'm in danger i could just shoot pus in their eye by popping a zit ( this was in middle school hence the immaturity). A few people named me Miss Pimple. Several people made jokes about my zits sprouting heads or legs...
THats pretty much it I think....The jokes were so retarded too....
I've only ever had one comment about my skin and it was when I was CLEAR. I was sitting happily at the bus stop once in high summer, feeling brilliant, with the clearest skin I've ever had in my entire acne career, when this irritating little cuntbucket trotted along and proclaimed very loudly that I had BIG SPOTS! What? WHERE? Goes to show you can never fecking win, doesn't it? Never before have I wanted to throw a small child over the nearest cliff so much in my life.
Wow!! I like this topic, it is indeed very interesting. Well my long story in short. When i was in high school about 5 years ago, i had severe acne had nothing to use or over it up, cause i did not know what to do. My face did look real bad. There was this rumor going around in my school about me it was out for a while before i heard about it. Then finally someone confronted me and asked me "why are you coming to school and your AIDS is starting to show"?.. 
. I forgive them, cause they know not what they have done.

That's the dumbest and most insensitive comment I've heard.

OMG. I don't have words. Stupid people.
OH MANNN I have lots
1. BZOF, that was my pimple's name. "big zit on face". my guy friend came up with that one.
2. One guy in middle school, also a 'friend', ran by and pointed saying "she has a boil!!" WHILE I was holding hands with my boyfriend at the time.
3. My boyfriends mom was speaking a foreign language, and ordering things from a catalog, than my boyfriend translated and said "she wants to know if you want this lotion, its suppose to help your acne"
4. Boyfriend's sister tells me spicey food can give me acne, and not to eat it
5. I was taking accutane today, and my brother (18 years old) asks me what it is, and I tell him its for my face, and he said "well its not workin!"
6. My coworker starts casually bringing up accutane, says she "recommends it", not knowing I already am taking it
7. One time I was excercising with my friends and boyfriend, and my face turns red easily, but cause of the makeup I guess it looked weird. And they were calling me black and kept asking if I was okay, and my friend decided to announce to everyone it's cause I'm wearing so much makeup cause I need to cover up my scars.
8. My boyfriend and I are talking about this mutual friend we both know, and he says "man her face is messed up, she has too many pimples" UHHH HELLO!!! Than I tell him how I felt and he was like.. "look in the mirror at yourself, your gorgeous!" ofcourse he's gonna say that, douchebag.
Anyways, that's all I can stand to remember, before I go jump off a cliff. Hope it made someone feel better about themself. haha. ok bye

haha ! it didn't made me feel better but it sure made me laugh 
1. highschool, taped up a bandaid above my eyebrow to cover a cyst --- my brother "who'd you get in a fight with? " (then later to his roommate, "yea, I beat her up" secretly, behind everyone else's back, he'd call it my unicorn.
Then I started calling it devil horns cuz I was nearing getting another one on the opposite side of my forehead. :/
2. monday--after a long sunny weekend (the weekend i STOPPED using foundation)
my english teacher : " ooooo looks like someone got a little too much sun this weekend, did you have fun at the beach? "
----- she meant well, never called on me in class because she I knew I was so shy.
3. walking around publix, in a somewhat heavily spanish populated area, a stock lady stops me and asks what I'm doing for my face, and the proceeds to give a long explanation about using an alovevera (sp?) plant to put over that'll "[you come see me] in a month, it'll be gone"
4. brothers graduation: old (short) spanish lady looks up at me, see's the big cyst on the side of my face, touches her's on that same spot, and goes tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk while shaking her head. that one, I HAD to laugh at
it gets better:
5. at the mall, in the food court, some weird lady serving me, at the cash register, she goes, "oh, you work around bees?" "what" "bees, it looks like you've got hives, are you allergic to them?" ::Still not comprehending:: "uhh what?" "you look like you've been stung by some bees all over your face, are you sure its not hives then, an allergic reaction to something? " ::comprehending:: "yea,... i'm sure.... :still wondering if it really looked that bad: "
sad to say, I saw that same lady a few weeks later.... and she said the EXACT same thing again....
:/ some people
and now for my personal FAVORITE(!) ...
6. Walking in walmart with my mom, and this little boy, about 5 or 6 walks by with his mom, and kinda slowed down, saw me, and then ran to catch up with her, while screaming, "mommy mommy..... she's got CHICKENPOX!!!!!!!!!" ....
mind you, i had chicken pox at like 3 or 4 or something,... this was within the past few years. Gotta love that one though.... I don't necessarily remember it, but my mom thought it was hilarious.
oh just thought of another :
7. my dad...[referring to my first "unicorn" ] "why don't you cover that up? it looks disgusting, you think guys'll wanna talk to you if they see that????? put a bandaid on it! "
:/ sad sad day... he's gotten better though... -- keeps his comments to himself now :/
Wow. So many people have had it worse than me.
No one says anything rude to me (to my face at least) anymore, but I remember they did in middle school.
I remember one girl made fun of me saying I needed to get some acne medicine, so I retaliated by saying, "At least my problem will go away eventually! You'll always be Asian!" I felt terrible after, and am not racist in any way, but it was the only thing I had on her. 
Years ago when my skin was really bad, a doctor said to me "you'd be really pretty if you didn't have acne." I was devastated. The idiot was treating me for an orthopaedic problem but felt obliged to comment on my skin.
People are so insensitive! Many people with clear skin honestly think that we can control our acne. Some believe it is a hygiene issue. Fools!
I was temping for this company, heard the manager talk to someone. "Hows the new guy coming along?"..... "Great"... "its just his face"...
a Manger talking to my supervisor, she was whispering, of course I cant hear it, but I sorta knew.
A Manager: *Whispering* (why did you hire that ugly guy)
My supervisor: Had no choice.

Oh my God! What horrible things to say! I wish people would think before they speak. You must have been horrified. 
When I was in the 9th grade, I was sitting with a group of people I had to work with in my theatre arts class, one guy asked me if he could pop my zits. Yeah that was disturbing; not to mention, this guy asked me if we could biracial children 2 weeks earlier. Again, disturbing. Lets just say I'm glad I made it out of 9th grade without medication.
God that's weird cause I had a (crazy) girl ask me the same thing "Can I pop your zits?" WTF? I didn't even know what to say.
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! ](*,)
Don't worry. just because of a couple remarks doesn't change how bad your acne is. It probably is mild, they're just bored, so making fun of you is a way to entertain themselves. Just keep them busy for the next 4 days.
Ugh, I just had a new one more recently, which really sucked because it was from 2 co-workers that I thought I was cool with.
Anyway, they were together in the workshop of where I work and they had no idea I was on the "second floor" part which is not a real floor of the building because both floors are open air and anything you say in one part of the shop can be heard everywhere. But one of the guys was messing with this chemical stuff that was really strong and potent and said "What would this stuff do if i were it into someone's face?". The other guy replied, "Throw it in [My name]'s face, it probably wont look much different." They both laughed.
