Oh, I also want to mention the sweetest thing someone has said about my acne.
The other day I told my 4 year old niece I was in no condition to go to the mall because I didn't have makeup on and I didn't want people to see my acne and dark marks, and she said: "Oh, its okay if people see it." It was so cute. Even at 4 years old, I could tell by her tone she was trying to be comforting and nice - at least I think that was it. 
O, kids are shitty. I was at a family friend's party about two years ago and this little kid, who is a brat, came up to me and said, 'I don't like you 'cause you've got spots'. So I said, 'Well, I don't like you 'cause you've got a tubby belly'. Maybe that was a stupid reaction, but it felt good at the time.
O, and one of my apparent best friends called me 'Acne-face Grace' in front of a massive group. That really hurt. I shouted, screamed and cried big time. The most ridiculous thing is, she's had acne too!
Gracieb, the same exact thing happened to me. LOL. A kid told me I have a lot of pimples and I told him he was fat. That was horrible...I know...I should have known better since I was 26 at the time, but comments about my appearance brings out my insecurities and I sometimes react in a childish way....
As a rule I don't pop or touch my zits, no matter how ripe.. It hurts too much and leaves an even worse mark.. I remember so many times people I barely new kept saying "POP IT! POP IT!" Way to make me feel like shit about myself... Oh well, they're just assholes who obviously can't think of anything more interesting to talk about
Well when I was a kid I remember this one guy that would always watch my friend and I, it was at some daycare or something... well we would laugh at him and call him pizza face....i was a kid. Well I guess I can say i got mine a couple of weeks ago for Easter I had this cystic thing going on right on my cheek, just to the right of my nose, anyways my niece looked at me with this horrible-confused-staring look "What happened to your face?" in front of everyone. I think I turned bright red and I could feel everyone's eyes turn my way and i was doing so well just blending in. So its not horrible but just a reminder that I guess that I have this little friend and its a mini me and she is going to be with me for about a month. Other things are just stares especially from friends while they talk to ya and they stare at every part of your face and all you want to do is put a bag over it and call it a day!
Actually I haven't had very many people say mean things about my acne. But there was one incident that happened a few years ago that I will never forget. I was walking though an outdoor fair along with several friends and my family when this guy (he was a caricature artist) yelled out that he could draw a picture of me without any zits. It would've been mean enough if he had just yelled it without anything to amplify his voice, but no....he had to be using a megaphone too so that everyone heard him! I'm not a fighting girl, but I started to go tell that dude exactly what I thought of him, and that is putting it nicely.
While i was in high school -it was just about the time i met acne and my first breakout- one of the guys in my class said : " you've been masturbating a lot recently huh?"
Yeah right you solved my problem you insensitive jerk!!
And once my uncle looked at me like he was examining my face and said " What happened to your face, why don't you take care of yourself a little bit?"
"A little bit!!!" Of course he did not know that i spent hours a day trying to keep my face clean.
In elementary school I went to the nurse for a headache and the little girl there said "What's wrong with you? Do you have the chicken pox?" I nearly started crying.
In middle school I rode the elementary school bus home and my little sister was telling everyone on the bus, "She has acne and she's ugly but she can't do anything about it" Needless to say she got a spanking from my parents when she got home
Lets see here, I can recall at least 4 different times where I was dissed.
My dad on at least THREE different ocassions (as if once wasnt enough) told me to wash my face with soap, and how he gets these small bumps sometimes when he shaves, and how if I dont do something about it my bumps will turn to scars, as if I didnt know, and as if I wasnt washing my face twice a day already for the last 4 years.
My brothers friend as an 11 year old, (1 was 15 or 16) told me I had a lot of pimples
My brother in law and best friend about 4 or 5 years ago made a comment to my sister while he was driving ( I was in the backseat) he said "man that girls face in the store was jacked up, her face looked like the moon with all those craters, man acne gone wild." then he immediately went from loud and joking to extremely quiet and tried to change the subject, when he realized I was in the backseat. Talk about akward.
The kids in my moms daycare all would say"you got masquito bites."
Those are just off the top of my head
I came in late in the class once and I had terrible acne at the time, this guy who had perfect skin yelled "look at that ugly spotty motherfucker!", all the girls on his hands started laughing and saying stuff like "he's such a minger", another girl said "have plastic surgery".
I felt so low, I wanted to end my life, I then put all my efforts into avoiding the mirror and venting all my frustration through bodybuilding, a couple of months on I became really strong and build like a tank.
I then stumbled accross that same guy in the WC and something just snapped inside my head, I got him in a headlock and dragged him into a cubicle and gagged his mouth with toilet paper and started punching him on the face until he was nearly unconcious, i then got my blade out and started scarring his face and carved in my initials on either side of his cheek. I finally knocked two of his front teath out and. I whispered in his ear that if anyone found out I would kill his family because I was very unstable and showed him my knife. I then kicked him on his testicles until he started vomitting.
He did not die, but he was no longer a pretty boy.
I dont know why but I get these wierd ficticious scenarios in my head. Must be a psychological thing. The above story is not true by the way.

Veryy niCEEEEE -Borat
But did you also make a sexyy time with his sister?
I was thinking, is acne anything like chicken pox?
lol random question.
worst experience i have had?
i was in my form class with all my friends sat around a table.
a kid from one of the younger years came in, and he was quite a lad. He was one of those guys that don't care about nothing.
He came up to me in front of all my friends and asked if i had xma...
and i was laughing and i was like what are you on about.
Then my mate said, george i think he means Acne.
Immediately i went silent.
It hit me so hard i felt depressed for a week just thinking about it.
i dunno reading this page, i had mixed emotions. sometimes i laughed cuz i could relate, but i also felt depressed. i hate it when i went to visit my relatives, and they said wow wat happened to your face, and they kept on examining me. Also one time this person, said dude what happened? is it a rash or something. I said no i got acne then he says DAMN. and he makes an explosion sound. I only got made fun of my acne only a few times by peers, so i feel fortunate. One time me and my sister were in an argument, and we both said some pretty hurtful stuff, but the thing that got to me was when she said at least i don't have acne. i said well at least it can clear up, and then she says well u have acne scars so that will never go away. that just made me depressed because your acne can clear up but no matter what u do ur scars will always be a reminder. overall my acne has gotten better (there are still a few spots) but i still self-conscious all the time. I hate it when there is a class discussion about acne. i feel embarrassed. Lol sometimes going on this forum makes me sad, cuz it reminds of when i had bad acne, and the embarrassment i felt when i walked around. Also when im in a public place i feel like everyone is looking at me face. My face was really clear freshmen and sophmore year, and sometimes when i look at old pictures, i get mad. i think to myself y couldn't i go to the doctor earlier before it became worse. Just giving out my story
Me and my friends were on a field trip in New York City, having the time of our lives.
Eating dinner at a restaurant night, my friend decides to proclaim her tremendous success with various facial products to our group, saying that My face was the "before" and Hers was the "after".
At least proactiv stopped working for her, and now she's almost as bad as me.
Guess that Karma's a bitch. Too bad she's so flighty she probably has long forgotten the scenario that made me less confident every day I was in NYC.

nice! haha stupid jerk wow im glad she got what was coming to her.
One time I was hanging with my friends, who all have perfect skin, and one of them joking said to me "man you look like Alfred E. Newman" (The guy from MAD magazine covers). I said haha really? He goes "Yeah, but instead of freckles you have acne". one of my other friends got kinda mad at him for sayin it and afterwards hes all "ooh sorry i dint meant to hurt your feelings or anything"
i pretended not to care but i have never felt comfortable around him since and that was like a year ago.
My little cousins who in elementary school always make comments about my acne. stuff like "wow you have a lot of bumps on your face" or "your face is warty". this kind of stuff really gets to me and i feel depressed pretty much all the time b/c im honestly a pretty good looking guy but noone will ever realize it cus of my acne
in grade school there was always this one boy who would pick on me about me acne relentlessly. one time in 5th grade we had to work together on a group project and he was going on and on about my face and said
"hey pizza face do you even know what acne is?" luckily the other girl that was working with us stood up for me
in 7th grade i came to school a little bit later than i usually did and when i opened my locker boxes of oxy clean pads fell out. he and his friends were sitting at their desks laughing.
in dance class when i was 13 we were doing partner dances for our spring show and my dance teacher paired me up with this one boy. and when he found out we were partners he said "ew i dont want to dance with her ill probably get zits too"
this wasn't said directly to me but my mom would tell me how the other moms would hand her cards for dermatologists in the area and tell her that if she was a good parent she would take me to have my acne taken care of. by that point i had been to 3 different doctors. and its upsetting that my acne affected my mom as well....im 21 and am still struggling to rid myself of acne, but the things that hurt the worst are the things that have been said to me.

This made me cry. I worked at a restaurant in the food court, and random ppl would hand me their aestheticians cards or their derms. I would thank them and ignore it. But it broke my heart every time someone made a comment to me about the "holes in your face" or the "bumpy stuff that's all over there".
Bleh.
Life is so unfair. No one really listens when your heart is breaking.

What a bitch....either she needs to be bitch-slapped...or you need to be bitch-slapped...or there was a lot of drinking going on, for that to be said from a sister to a brother

Hello Im Jodie, Im 14 and always get called pizza face because of my acne. Do you reconmend anything for it that I could try? Ive tried soo many things but nothings worked. I get acne of my back chest and face and it driving me nuts! I would like a person to talk about how I feel but Im not quite sure if I should. Many boys in school say "errr ! dont you wash your face?" And its really upsetting. Do you get called names often? Coz I feel like Im the only one in the school who has acne!
