my mommom: you need to wash your face more, girls arnt gonna like you with all that acne you know.
ughhh people.
Scene: Outside the office while I'm on my ON-THE-JOB-TRAINING.
"what happen to your face! dude wash your face too often"
In my head I was like this
"F you Mothaf** piece of sh**!!! Do you think I live in a Fuc* Sahara desert and have to walk a hundred miles to find an oasis and wash my face!!!!!".
What's on my mind right now:
This scene always comes to my mind but glad it never and will never happen I hope so.
"you must be very RICH!!!.... look at those RICE FIELDS!. F can't help myself but lol at that to myself. That could be very mean!.
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"
im really sorry, but
this is incredible
OMG wtf!...
This person once shouted out "wow shit did your face get burned".
Often when i walk to school I will meet these little girls and when they see me they would just scream and everybody would look.
That's awful. I've had similar experiences where I've been unbearably embarrassed and reduced to near tears (no I will not cry, NEVER). But at the same time my experiences often crack me up. The crap we go through can be so bad and so bizarre it becomes funny. Your pimples make little girls cry! I can see them standing at the corner with their pink backpacks and Barbie lunch boxes in their hands screaming as you approach, "mommy mommy, help me, the scary man's coming again." LOL, I know it must make you feel like shit but come on, that's too funny!! This is why I've never been suicidal about my acne and my scarring, as depressed as I get sometimes there's still something I find disturbingly funny about it.
I was lol reading it.. you're right it's funny lol
I just came into work and I was talking to a co-worker when another co-worker came in...interupted my conversation...and asked why my forehead was all bumpy? Nice huh? She was overweight and I should have asked her why her a@s was so big.
this one time back in the summer of 2007 i was dating/seeing this guy and we were hanging out one day and we were kissing or whatever and then he like pulled away, looked at my face then said 'pimple face' then was like laughing kinda...
i was like...'umm'...and kinda pulled away and was so embarrassed i felt like i wanted to die...
he was like 'i was just joking'
not really funny though...
for some reason i always remember that moment...it was soo awkward and painfully embarrassing. ha.
when i was 14 my mom took my best friend and I to the mall. We both bought some chocolate and when my mom saw that she told me that I couldn't have it (she thought she was helping since she thought chocolate would make my skin worse, she also never let me eat peanut butter). I argued with her and in exasperation and right in front of my friend in the middle of the mall she yelled "you look like a monster, do you want to have a pizza face?". I love my mom, but she is still apologizing for that one to this day (and I'm 25 now). That really hurt and still now when my skin looks bad i find myself thinking "you are a monster" . that's pretty sad, huh?
I don't think that anyone outside of my family has ever said anything mean, my friends have given me some misguided advice but I know that they were only trying to help. I've experienced a couple of curious little kids that just didn't understand what it was. Last year when my friend and I went to get a facial one woman was really staring at my face (I don't usually go out without makeup), that upset me a bit too. it feels good to vent, thanks guys
one time, quite a while ago, when my skin was full of big angry red spots, i was walking to a lesson and this woman stopped me (she wasn't even a teacher!!), and looked at me and said " OMG! what happened to your face?? Did you trip over?!?!" admittedly it took me a few seconds to realise that she meant my acne, but walking away, i found it quite funny cos she was clearly a bit embarrased afterwards...
Sometimes you just gotta laugh
i've been fortunate in that i havent received many comments about my skin. but when i do, it just crushes my confidence. like a month or so ago a mate of mine at a party commented on some dead/dry skin on my face. he meant well so i understand but still, my confidence was crushed for the rest of the night.
amongst my friends, i have found that no-one gives shit to anyone about acne. its like a taboo subject. i think its because we're 20 now and most of us have been through acne to some degree, so we understand how shit it feels so noone brings it up.
im really sensitive about my skin compared to everything else. if someone said i had a bad haircut - wouldnt care. pale skin - wouldnt care. big head - wouldnt care. that my skin looked shitty - well, nice talking to you, i gotta go.
every chinese new year in my hometown, i would hear this,
my grandmother: 'u hav pimples'
my grandmother to my mum: 'ur daughter has pimples'
my auntie: 'do u wash ur face?', then she goes on to recommend cleansers and creams which r expensive and never produce good results 
my other auntie: 'girls shouldn't hav acne, ur face will not look pretty'

My mum said "you look like a monster" to me and then she laughed about it. That has got to be the meanest thing anyone has said to me. Your mother is good because she is still apologizing and she know she has really hurt your feeling. But my mum does not even know it hurt my feelings. She probably forgot that she even said that to me. My mother never cares about my feelings. She always says "your skin is getting worse" or "your skin is gross", etc...
Wow i have had so many. This is just a few.
(my dad talking to my cat who is always around me and asking to be petted)
Dad: Why do you like him so much, he's ugly. (realizing a Freudian slip just came through) Goes back and repeats the initial thing, pretending he didn't add anything to it.
Mom: See all those red spots are because you keep picking.
Mom: wow, what's with your face today, a few days ago i thought they were clearing really nicely.
While watching a basketball game, referring to a player that had quite a lot of acne.
Brother: Wow, that guy's acne is almost as bad as yours.
I don't wanna even get into the people staring at my face because of my acne. It happens almost on a daily basis. As for girls i have had so many look at me in a nice light, even check me out. Then when it's fluorescent light or just really bad lighting reconsider their position and look away lol.
I remember once in high school, just before the start of the year i went on vacation to South Carolina. I got a really nice tan and all my pimples were gone. I looked great for a week. I think there was 3 girls who kept hitting on me. One of them a complete stranger walking on the street just looked at me and said "god i like love you" lol i know sounds stupid.
2 weeks later my tan went away, i went back to being the pimple face pale freak i am. All they could say when they saw me was EWW!
Just recently a few months ago when the University year just started i had one girl checking me out. I didn't even bother to make eye contact with her knowing she would just reconsider her position in a couple of weeks. I saw her not too long ago in a really bright flourescent light, all i could see was her just looking at my acne. There was no real expression on her face. I could see that she was thinking all the stuff that those other girls were, but was more mature considering it is University and people mature with age.

it's the worst when u kno u could be so biuotiful(sp) without it huh? and you've even had a taste of that potential life, it's a really miserable feeling and u wonder if you'll ever be that person again but permanently. the only moments that keep u from being depressed the whole day are those few moments that u think back to that made ur self-esteem flying. trust me dont worry cuz you're still optimistic by thinking like that.
so i was on a mission trip this summer and a ten year old black kid in mississippi asked me if i had chicken pox and he kept saying all week that i had chicken pox.
and my college suite mate is always telling me what will clear up my bacne. Nothing pisses me off more than some idiots suggestions. He is one of those guys who has like a pimple a month doesn't know shit about acne.
I'm fortunate to have only had a few times i've ever had my acne commented on.
One was during sophomore year. I was walking down a long hall to the lunchroom and there were two other people a couple feet infront of me.
I recognized both of them right away. One was an overweight mexican boy who I had a study hall with. I had never done anything to offend him or anything and had even let him borrow my pencils, paper, etc. etc. when he asked(he sat two seats behind me). The second was a skinny girl in my gym class.
Anyways, i'm walking behind them right? We're the only three people in the hall.
Just quietly minding my own business. I've got my backpack on and i'm carrying a big math book in my hands.
Then. . . the boy turns around while he's walking and looks at me and says to the girl:
"Damn, that b**** is ugly."
(Remember, I had never done anything to this kid. And. . . he throws two incredibly nasty insults right at my face for no reason whatsoever other than the fact I was just there to do it to.)
The girl responds with a "Who?" and turns around to make eye contact with me.
She kind of faulters out an ". . . Oh." and turns back around again to keep on walking.
I stopped dead in my tracks and headed off in the opposite direction, where I spent the rest of lunch hiding away in the bathrooms.
I'm still surprised at how well I took the incident on the outside.
In retrospect, I could've very well taken that math book and hurled it straight at his fat head and not have regretted a thing, lol.
I've never had anybody really say anything mean to me... why? cuz, I look like a MEAN MOTHERFUCKER! coupled with me being built, nobody ever wanted to mess with me.
fuckin' zit shit... damn
As silly as this sounds I can actually kind of relate. Before I had acne I wasnt bad looking (If I do say so myself) and I used to dress all nice and have an almost pretty boy (but not quite, I hate the pretty boy look!) hair style.
Nowadays with my face as scarred as it and the color of my facial skin comepletely uneven I feel like I have to put up a meaner front, that I cant pull off the whole nice looking/ wholesome look anymore. Maybe its like a psychological defense mechanism; The meaner you look the less likely people will bother you about your skin. I dunno, maybe Im just talking shit, but I do know that whenever I go back to my old style, the way I used to dress and behave before I got acne I actually feel uncomfortable. Maybe its as simple as society forcing me to change the way I am simply because I look different then I used to. Ah fuck knows, Im rambling.

i get u about the psychological defense mechanism cuz i'm exactly the same way, i don't want to sound like i'm lecturing you here but be careful with that mean look because it might become one of those permanent ways that you hold yourself and when that happens not alot of people will want to approach you anymore. 
the guy i had a crush on for a while was at hockey with a mutual friend. his team wanted to meet me, and he said "no, you don't. she's a zit faced freak." needless to say, the night i found out he said that, i cried myself to sleep. jerks.
reading some of these posts makes me realize how mean some people are. and how cruel and unfair it is to have acne. people like that, people who dont know what its like to look in the mirror and hate what they see, and to look at your skin for hours each night, spending hours and hours just wishing for clear skin, people like that are everywhere. and it hurts. so, so, so badly.
