I've got a friend named Brett and he has bad acne, much worse than mine. He also has it all over his back. I was out with him and some other mates and one of my friends named Bikki (Nepalese dude) randomly asks if we wanna go paintballing some time. We all say we're up for it.
When Brett says yes, Bikki starts taking the piss so bad. He was like, "Ohhh big surprise, Brett is up for paintballing! He'll kick all our asses!" At the time I'm thinking WTF, yeah right, but then Bikki starts pretending to squeeze imaginary acne on his face (mimicking Brett's) shouting BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM, basically saying that Brett can squeeze the acne on his forehead and use it like paintball guns; whilst also demonstrating the trajectory of the acne pus with his fingers. It's flat out cruel but I was floored along with the others, it was too funny.
To top it off, Bikki turns around and pretends to tense his back muscles going GRRRRRR and starts gesturing with his hands as though he's unloading a freaking acne-minigun from his back. Yeah that killed us. Brett of course wasn't too pleased, only thing he said was, "Hey it's better than before..." (which did make it funnier). Brett's girlfriend was there too, and she was laughing away as well.
Yeah if I was Brett there and then I wouldn't have been too pleased. Despite his severe acne though, I'm sure it's never held him back from doing anything he's wanted to do (AKA getting laid).
For me:
1) when my friend's accidentally touch my face, she let out a loud,"
EWWW...Gosh"
2) When our group is picked to create an ad for a facial product, the members(i didnt know any of them) look at me, one break the silence and say," u will be the main character, wont u"
3) Why arent u doing anything to ur face? U know,i can recommend this doctor, medcine...blah..
4) Stare intensely at my face when i visit them(relatives...), muz drink more water, dun eat so much heaty food..u see ur face blah blah blah. They say this loudly in presence of others...WTF
lol
Ive personally never had anyone say anything mean about my face, but I hate the stares... and when your talking to someone and you see their eyes groping your face and almost with a look of disgust or sympathy sometimes. I hate the looks... they are the worst.
Yeah its sad that ppl like to see other ppl flaws, just to feel better about their own flaws.
^ Just my opinion, what they are thinking.
In 8th grade, this kid sat next to me in math and had this weird shaped eraser. I said "That's a really weird shaped eraser, what the hell is it supposed to be?" and he said "Well, at least it isn't weird as your beard of acne". Yeah, real great. 2 or 3 pimples on both of my cheeks= a pimple beard. Now, 4 years later, I was hooted at by him and his friends crossing the street. He, on the other hand, looks the same as he did in 8th grade. Short and skinny. I, though, am happily in love with my boyfriend of a 10 months. Payback, bitch.
today in math class there was a picture on a board rite next to me and it was a picture like u had to stare at real long, it was all like bumps and curvy circles ad i said "wat the hell is it" to a friend and the kid behind me said it looks like u cause of all of the little bumps. well i got him back. the teacher was writing on the board and i just turned around and backhanded him. punk sophmore. 
When family members drink too much and come out with "Hey, i know your skin worries you, but you just need to buy some face-wash and it'll get better" as if i haven't already used pretty much every face-wash on the market with no results.
Or when they basically tell you you look rubbish and accuse you of eating loads of junk.
And being given Clearasil for christmas.
That hurt.
Nobody has really said anything about my acne outside of the family, but my brother has. He teases me about it all of the time because he knows I'm really self-conscious about it.
I try not to let it bother me, but man does it hurt.
Some times he will come right out and say it, sometimes he will use it in an argument that had nothing to do with it.
The worst would be his gestures though. Once I asked him why he wouldn't go out with this girl and he said "Cause shes like you." then he started pointing all over his forehead and making an exploding noise. I told him how shallow and moronic he sounded, and that one day he would hit puberty too.
Also, when I was about in 8th grade, I first started gettting pimples on my forehead. He had a video camera and was running around the house with it. He came to me, started talking to me, but he was actually zooming in on a pimple on my forehead. I had just seen that video a few weeks ago, me now in 11th grade, still with acne. I laughed about it, but you dont know how baddly I wanted to kick him in the balls.
Another reason why i hate people..or pity them actually..
Now that i have acne i have't had any comments about it but i think that's because i'm VERY good with make up =P (then again the acne has only really just got worse- though it's improving- and i haven't been dealing much with people as im not in school or anything..)
Before though when i was in school and i didn't even have acne just a couple of normal spots, the kind most people get at some point or the other, and this guy in my class said 'you need clearasil'
wth? that did hurt a tiny bit but then again this guy will say that to ANYONE no matter how minuscule their spot/s are...just coz he has 'perfect' skin. He's just a arse though =)
Can't believe how rude and ignorant some people are though..if only they knew *sigh*
I remember back when I had acne and started to see some improvements after practicing daily in the gym and playing water polo a lot, and one day when I just came from holidays and was having a breakout, my friend upon looking at my body and my face said "Damn, what do you take? It's ruining you"
Some girl said to me once "Your face is a mess." so I responded "Yeah well, the difference being my face is a mess due to something that will go away, you on the the other hand, well, not so sure what will be done about that."
Meh.
That was like, 2 years ago though, I'm not a nasty person, but some people deserve it.
Sometimes in the past I've gotten comments on my face, but it hasn't effected me to an amazing amount because skin eventually clears...and then breaks out again. It's a cycle I'm used to. However, my fear is not what people actually say, it's people who MIGHT say things. I'm not hurt by what people actually say but rather the prospect of them saying something in the first place, lol.
Anyways, here's a couple of mine:
- 9th grade, I had a HUGEEEEE whitehead that I went to school with. I guess it was about to burst and was all yellow looking, and this dude infront of me said the following:
"Do you eat a lot of butter? Cause that thing is huuge and all yellow, man"
It's actually kinda funny though hahaha.
- 9th grade, I had some acne marks and some acne, which prompted a little boy to ask me: "what's wrong with your face"...I saidddd don't worry, you might get them when ur older as well
- This summer, I was having a breakout, and my manager was like "whats that on ur face" (usually, I'm clear but I randomly broke out, hence me being back on this site), so I responded with "oh, its just a cpl of pimples"
- I was taking my passport photo, and the lady had to wipe the shine off my face like atleast 5 times before we took the pic.
None of the comments have been that mean, because there are people who have it worse than me, but in the end, it's a skin condition, I'm sure its fixable. When I'm clear, I dont even notice other people's skin to be honest because I'm too busy. When I'm NOT clear, is when I go on this site and obsess about things. So, the advice. Don't worry about what other people say because your skin will eventually clear in one way or another.
The meanest thing I've ever heard due to acne wasn't actually a direct hit at my acne. Instead I heard, "SHE likes me??? Oh my god, gross!" I think it was actually a bit worse than that but it was a while ago and I can't remember. Middle school is so stupid. Besides, I only said I liked him because everybody else did (go figure, I was in middle school). I actually fancied one of his friends that I'm dating now. :]
I would occasionally get comments from my shallow little cousin (who's what, 13 and a slut already?) such as, "What's wrong with your face? What's that? Why is it like that?" She knew what it was she just thought it was funny and cute to make comments. But that's okay, she'll probably grow up to be dysfunctional anyways. Although I must say she's a lot nicer now (but still kind of slutty).
Yeah I've had some pretty mean things said to me from people who've never had acne. Just things like ew what happened to your face, or can I pop that pimple that's a big one...But one thing that pissed me off is when my sister left a proactiv pamphlet on my bed, and I was like argh you idiot I'm already on acne meds...They're so ignorant.

Yeah, its pretty easy to be construed as being done out of spite. But unless your relationship is shit with your sister it sounds like she was just trying to help you
i told one girl that if she ever spoke to me again or looked at me again i would lock her and her entire family in her house and set fire to it and watch them all burn
i never saw her again
what prompted me to go to such extreemes was the following comment
"do you realise you have bad skin"
fucking crack head
