when i was in 8th grade...

me: walking through halls....

two 6th graders: "look at that girl... all those zits make her look like a monster"

me: about to cry

Whats on your face... oh its a zit

Weirdest: I just want to pop that pimple

"looks like someone put your face through a meat grinder"

made me cry but i did it when i was alone again.

I've really only had 2 comments about my acne. It turned extremely severe in the last 2 months and i did not cope with it at all well

"I know you don't want me to ask you this, but i'm going to ask you anyway, what's going on with your skin?" That was from one of my mum's longest and closest friends and she has known me since i was a baby. Tactless, in the middle of a supermarket when i was not mentally stable! Could not stop crying altho it is not that bad.

A subtle hint, talking about birth control "My girlfriend took Birth Control, not being funny but she took it for her spots" Not bad again and i was pretty much clear so it didn't click til afterwards that he was hinting! I would have however punched him if i had twigged what he was hinting!

To everyone who has ever had anything horrible said to them about their acne!

I just had some guy came up to me saying DAM what happen to ur face, god i wanted to cry so bad

^^ 5 guys were walking towards me at Uni, theyre all clear skinned arrogant Jocks, then one of them exclaims "Man whats wrong with that guys face!". I was really really embarrassed coz a lot of people were there who heard it. all i could do was bow my head down to try and hide my face.

a girl i went to high school with who i "tought was my friend" saw me when she visited my campus and said "damn Keith what happened, your ugly now" I told her to fuck off and ditched everyone we were with the rest of the night cause i felt like shit. Im going home for a week on monday and havnt seen my high school friends in like 8 months and they all are nagging to see me but i dont know if i can, im to embarrassed

Wow! I actually read everysingle post on everysingle page!!

this is the worst thing that has been said about my skin, (I didnt even have acne at the time) I forget who even said it, it was a while ago but ya..

"WHY are you so white?"

That really bothers me, because I DONT TAN... Fuck. Do you go to a black person and ask them "why are you so black?" nooo... Its racism

Ive had more then one person comment on my paleness... like

ohh youd look good if you were tanned...

why dont you go to a tanning bed?

ect...

But wayyyy back in the day "pale" was sexy cuzz it meant you didnt work outside..

Whatever

ill be laughing when all those faketits/fakehair/fakenail/faketeeth/faketan bitches have wrinkles and skin cancer.

also regarding the acne:

"WHy is your chin so red?"

"you have something on your chin.. what happened?"

Yeaaa....

most of the time things people say to me dont really bother me but my brother once said my face reminds him of the book holes. Or that i look like a goalie for a dart team.

One time at lunch in school my friend was like "whats on your face? Its so shiny"

I was so embarassed because she said it in front of a bunch of people.

I went to the bathroom and blotted the oil off of my face

ok. although it botherred me a lil , i thought it was funny too. lol my 5yr old lil cuzin asked me wut happend to my face. n i was "oh i got the chicken pox'", n he was like "no its not chicken pox, its pizza" . i got a facial 2 days ago, n face looks like shit from the facila. well thats all,

i hate it when ppl ask if im gettin treated.

"You're such a pretty girl. It's a shame you don't take better care of your skin." -my aunt.

I don't take care of my skin?! It seems like that's all I've been doing for the past four years!

I wish I had said something like that to her, but unfortunately I never stand up for myself because I am an overly shy person who avoids conflict at all costs.

^^were u overly shy before u had acne or after? i used to be pretty friendly and outgoing, but now im a recluse and a loner and i dont like going outside the house anymore

I was a little shy when I was a kid, but nothing over the top. I still had a lot of confidence and wasn't nervous around people. Getting acne has definitely made my shyness much worse, as well as me becoming self-concious about my body.

I'm reclusive too.

Thats what acne does to you dude, i think pretty much everyone who has experienced acne will be in the same boat

I don't have any fresh insults to add to this but when I had severe acne and was really down in the dumps I once sat at home counting how many times I'd has the piss taken about it. It was around 40.

"because I am an overly shy person who avoids conflict at all costs"

^that defines me^

back when I was like in 8 grade or something.... they used to tell me that:

"if I was to get one more pimple, I would graduate as a pepperoni".... thats was really

mean, i just didn't say anything and tried to ignore it. Funny thing was that later on, many of those people who made fun of me ended up having worse acne than mine ....

But, if anyone was to tell me something mean about my face, I swear to god I would punch them or curse at them (if a girl) until they fucking cry for mercy. or just grab a chair or something and split it up their heads... I really don't give a shit about the consequences....

but then again, that is why I avoid contact with any sort of human .

Sorry but i had to have a giggle at that, pretty original as far as acne jokes go.

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!

What I heard most over the years: my acne was due to poor hygiene or bad diet. Not washing my face, too much chocolate, soda, french fries, burgers, pizza...the list goes on.

And of course, my acne was ALL MY FAULT! Why are you doing this to yourself? Don't you care? Do you want to have acne like this? You better do something!

I believe it was the first time my father said, "Jack, you need to wash your face so I won't get so embarassed when we go out to places."

Of course, I had ONE pimple then. Now it's much worse.

Was on a bus to six flags yesterday (for a band trip) and I put sunscreen on my face and then made a friend hold up my mirror for me so I could put on some powder. A couple friends started laughing at me so I was like, "What!? I feel greasy from the sunscreen...". And one of them (who's a fucking uglyass whore) replied, "Carolyn, you don't need sunscreen to look greasy."

Argh. It just hurt because I hardly ever get shit about my acne...I think mainly because I'm a generally shy person and I never say shit about anyone to their face. I so wish I would've gone off on her though. She deserves it.

I wasn't really offended, but it did make me strive to get rid of my acne, "Pop it"

Woah, alot of mean things here.

No one has ever commented on my acne, not in 7th, 8th, or 9th grade. (The grades I had acne in).

People have only (good naturedly) tried to give out advice. That's about it. Some of these mean remarks on here are really shocking!

I guess this is why we usually stay up in our rooms all day to keep all this from happening.

Tell me about it... I'm fed up of being a recluse. Before I started to get acne, I was such a positive person. Now I'm just miserable.
