Lol, the other day this emo girl [we were friends, we picked on eachother a lot but it was funny, you know? Well we arent friends since we got into a fight today..] anywho. She said, "Jeez, look at all the acne scars. Your face is plastered with them."

 

They arent even acne scars, lol. They are big pores.

 

Haha, now Im wondering if everyone thinks that. :eh:

For me, I was in another country one time when I was around 14 years old when a woman comes up to me and my mom and tells my mom in Chinese to take me to a so-called miracle worker who can cure acne. Wow did that embarrass me :redface:

I've been called 'zitface','pimple face',and this really rude kid I know said,"Wow! It's like a never-ending cycle!Pimple after pimple."and my aunt said "Ohh,your face looks really bad".

 

It's hard,y'know? I'm only 12 and most people around me have clear skin.

It really isn't fair. :| But my acne isn't TERRIBLE,but I still hate it.

 

Today,a girl said,"Eww you have pimples!" and I said,"I KNOW.I can't help it". And then she said,"Yes you can.Get proactiv!"

 

IT MAKES ME SO MAD.

NOT EVERYTHING WORKS FOR EVERYONE.

reading a lot of these comments, it becomes clear why just going out and living your life and forgetting about your acne is something thats not possible. Some of these stories just made me feel humilated inside knowing how embarrasing those situations could be, anyway heres some of mine ill contribute:

 

- Several years ago my class was reading Catcher in the Rye in my english high school class outloud and when I read, it was the part where Houlden Caulfield descrbies his acne-ridden roomate. I kept reading nonchalant as if they were just regular passages, but man that one hit me deep in the stomach.

 

- I walked in late into a college class rom and this guy said out loud, "Look at his face." I acted as if I heard nothing. But I actually dropped out of college that day and never resumed again for a year. Melodramatic eh?

 

- More then once I've gotten comments that all said the same thing as they or I passed by, "Fuuuuuuuckk."

 

- My friends cousin said in front of my friends, "Hey man you look fucked up." And I said, yea I've been working a lot. Then he said, "Nah, I mean your face looks fucked up. I can't look at that shit."

 

I think the worse of all of these is how challenging it is for me to walk around in public, especially when I go to school. Every reacation bothers me. When people look at me, I think to myself man theyre so disgusted by it they cant keep their eyes off my face. And when they turn their heads away from me, I think man Im so ugly then cant even look at me. The whole time Im debating with myself how to go about walking without looking affected by everyone. Its tough man. I really hate walking outside when the sunlight is hitting me from the side, thats the WORSE. Sometimes Ill try devising walking routes just to avoid that as much as possible...ah well.

For me, it's my colleague.

One of the guy said, "O man, what happened to you? You're not pretty anymore, man.. Your boyfriend wouldn't love you anymore." (and he keep observing my face, like wanting to find something).

The other guy said, "Hey, what happened to your skin near you chin and lips? Did you put something? or did you shave??" (Dough.. I'm female!!) And he said it in front of other people!! they start staring at my face.

I don't know why people are so cruel. I've been battling moderately severe acne for almost 10 years. I would always cover my acne with makeup. I think the makeup made it worse by clogging my pores.. but I never wanted to go without it because I hated the red spots that seemed to never go away. Now, I wear only coverup and my face is clearing, but I have acne scars. I feel like I've been doubly punished. Once a friend said to me,

Wow! That's a really big pimple!

I thanked her for pointing that out, but I really wanted to pop it on her.

...where to start?

 

Highschool

 

Kids called me an amphibian and beat me up over it.

 

Some girl I liked, and then made the mistake of asking out, turned me down and later told her friends how nasty my face was.

 

Because I was rather open about my atheism, our family pastor suggested that my acne was the good Lord's way of saying fuck you :P

 

 

...I've taken it all on the chin though. One day I'll look handsome again...and on that day, woe be to the hearty lass that catches my eye :D

This is what happened with me and my sister right now:

 

Me: "What's for dinner?I'm starving".

 

Sister: "Your face. We're having pizza tonight!"

 

 

....

That's just messed up to me.

 

My face is not even THAT terrible. All I have are a few scars and maybe 1 or 2 zits.

Wow... I would have said something to him, but nothing irrational because then it would cause more problems. But in my head I probably would be thinking of punching in the face for that remark.

taking my ten year old cousin for a walk and she says, "you have lots of pimples on your face. maybe you're going through the 'p' word."

 

i wanted to say, oi bitch, Im 16, what do you expect.

 

then later she says, "dont worry, i had a big pimple on my face but my mum brought me some face stuff and it went away."

 

i wanted to hide my face in shame

A pair of little girls...couldn't have been more than 10 years old... walk past me on the street and say... " Eeewwww did you see his face....I haven't anything as ugly as that in my life "....

Wen't home with tears in my eyes as I have for years before...

 

Have had severe acne my whole life, that have left me with what I could best describe with desfiguring scars....

Kids really can be so cruel. Don't let them get to you. :(

 

I surprisingly haven't had anyone insult me about my acne...the only time I can remember where someone commented about my skin was when my uncle asked "what happened to your face?" And a time when my 6 year old cousin was genuinely curious about what was growing out of my face. That's about it...I'm just glad that the vast majority don't seem to care much about my acne.

I was in Air Force basic training and was standing in line for the mess hall (lunch) and a middle-aged lady came over to me and loud enough for everyone to hear told me that my face was pretty bad and asked if I had done anything about it. Duh..no, I never thought of that! :doh:

 

Plus when I was a teenager my Dad always told me I should wash my face more. People who don't have acne don't get it.

I just remembered one from a couple of months ago and it really left me feeling down. I was buying some oil blotting sheets at the grocery store [along with some food] and when she went to scan all the items, she immediately looked up and down my whole face, bagged the oil sheets seperately, handed it to me and ask "Have you ever tried proactiv?". :| wtf lady
