Ex boyfriend:

"You would be so f*cking hot if your face wasn't so gross. All my friends would be jealous. Maybe you should wash more."

 

Broke up with him on the spot. (no pun intended )

 

Friend (that happened to be a guy I liked):

After staring at a spot I had for like 15 minutes...

"You got a...thing...on your...(points to my face). Oh it's just another zit. Ew."

Random boy chimes in:

"Dude, don't be so harsh. She can't help it. She still got great tits, though."

 

Yeah. I left art class and cried in the bathroom. At least I "got great tits."

 

*dramatic eye roll*

Hey would it help if I told you I wish I had great tits? Not on me per say, but just around. Or does this make me a bad person? Oh I'm so going to hell.

You're not going to hell! Ha, that made me laugh.

"You would be so f*cking hot if your face wasn't so gross. All my friends would be jealous."

oxymoron

Ya, family can hurt you the worst sometimes, with out even meaning it... "Oh hunny, your pour face!"...

I use to work in day care, and little kids can be sooo honest. "Teacher Melinda, whats that stuff on your face?" I got that alot.

"Get that kid some soap for his face"

It's like. Holy shit. You have no idea.

And I once picked up a school newspaper where someone had doodled acne all over my face.

Kinda sucked, but Oh well. Y'know?

And my mother. Oh gawd!

She tries to help she really does. I mean she went through it just as bad as I did.

But she's always asking me if it makes me depressed or she'll be the first to tell me when I have a noticeable zit.

She's just tryin' to help though, Bless her heart.

i had a boyfriend who nuzzled my cheek and ended up yelling "my god your face feels like sandpaper" in public...

the first thing that ever hurt my feelings and shook me really hard was when I was 13, sitting on a table with classmated doing work and some boy that was sitting to my right said "do you ever wash your face"..gah that was the first time ever I felt the true pain of being a girl with acne. I didn't even think there was anything wrong with me until that point. from that point on I literally walked with my head down. So much so that I almost hit my head on post box once.

and another thing that my sister said just the other day and I haven't spoken to her since. I don't even know what we began arguing about but it ended with her shouting "ugly without make up" as I got out the car. it's something I think myself, and she knows I think that so for her to have used something like that to hurt my feelings really hurt me. I haven't cried about it yet and I wonder why? am I blocking it out to break down one day or is it just a case of I KNOW THIS so i'm not crying about it. either way, I would never use something that is so sensitive with her to hurt her feelings during an argument. people are just cruel.

Reading this thread has made me so angry and upset...it's absolutely unbelievable how people can be so insensitive and ignorant. I'm losing faith in humanity...

One of the worst things someone has said about my acne is my mother. She said I look like a leper and that I was getting uglier by the day. It felt like someone punched me in the stomach.

Just remember, we, as sufferers of acne will/have become stronger than people who have had everything handed to them on a silver platter.

Christ, you need to disown your mother! Is that the behaviour of someone who is meant to love you unconditionally? Jeez.................

OMG! I can't believe your mother said that! You need to borrow my mother, she's the sweetest woman on earth!

I've gotten quite a few comments about my acne, but these particular ones weren't directed at me.

I was sitting with my friend at school one day, and this guy who was crushing on me walked past. My friend squeals, "Oh! Oh! Is that the guy that asked you out?"

And I told her, yes that was him. And she says, "Ew...but...he has...acne."

Ugh.

Another time was about a guy in our school with pretty severe acne. He walked passt, and the girl I was standing next to loudly exclaimed, "Ugh. Today, I was standing in the cafeteria lunch line, and that guy walked past. I lost my appetite. Seriously, he needs to do something about that...like get some fucking medication so I don't have to look at that."

I was so so so shocked at that. HIS acne is ruining *your* day? He should get on "fucking medication" so that your beauty/appetite isn't offended by his presence?

Then another guy about that same boy: "Why the hell would anyone want to kiss him? His face is an acne field."

Appalling.

I was at school and my friend said "haha did a bee sting your nose or something" (he knows it was acne)

that makes me feel like i want to throw her lunch right smack in her face.

mehhhh sometimes little kids i babysit would be like "why do you have pimples?" =/

^Don't worry. They'll probably be posting here ten years from now.

Lol, when my sister was little, she would call my pimples 'nipples'--"You got nipples all over you!" Hehehe.

Back in high school somebody told me, "you're like the ugliest kid in this school". Being taller than a lot of my classmates, I never really got picked on - but this comment really got to me and depressed me. I thought it was hopeless for me.

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but these days I think I look pretty good. And people comment often.

The guy who told me I was the ugliest kid in school? 21 and looks like he's 31.

LOOKS CHANGE, people. For us - usually for the better. Forget about being picked on in high school - none of it matters! Just wait a few years and vindication will be yours.

I would die if I got a comment about my acne from a guy. I feel so blessed that the my friends are so kind to me. Sometimes they're kind in that unnervingly empathetic way ("Oh, honey, you're breaking out! You're so pretty, I hope you get better"). So I kind of understand the "Ew, acne, but you have nice tits" kind of thing.

LOL. You're not going to hell. I wish I had nice tits. On me... Ahaha.

My sister told me a story about this guy and this girl in her class in high school. It's kind of sad, but also kind of funny, because the victim of the joke carried herself well.

So here's how it went.

This boy tells a girl to grab a book for him from the shelf. She asks,

"What, do I have the word 'slave' written across my forehead?"

"I don't know. I can't read braille," he replies.

Ba da CH.

She laughed it off, good for her. But still, I wonder if she was hurt on the inside because of his comment. Even if it WAS funny.

A few years back, when I was debating with a classmate about why I should be leader of the group he randomly blurted out "you can put as much makeup as you want on your face, but you'll still have those pimples!" ..completely irrelevant.

Also, this is more of an action as opposed to someone actually saying something, but when i first started to get acne in elementary school, this girl said "I'll draw you on the whiteboard". she drew a face, and then took a red marker and drew dots all over it.

acne is greeeeeat.

I still remember when I was 10 or 11 y.o., one of my cousin has asked my Mummy to pay extra attention to me and my elder sister because "Their face looks disgusting!!!" My Mum my was so depressed with such cruel comments of our faces that for quite a while, she kept telling us, "You gals have to watch out what you eat as well as your other habits, which make your faces look damn disgusting" She didn't mean to hurt us (yes, of course), but well, she did! How hurtful is that to a 10 y.o. child?

When I was 23 or 24, once the brother-in-law of my ex saw me with him and asked "Hey, she looks all good, but what's horrible stuff on her chin???". Actually I was suffering from horrible cystic acnes and all of them have left me with lots of small keloids scars

And the worst of worst is, once when I was with a guy who quite fancied me, his son suddenly said, "Daddy, I don't like her". "Stop saying like that", he tried to stop him while I tried to remain cool and calm. "Well, I don't mind honey. Just let him speak out of his mind and we may find some reasons to convince him to like me", I said. And the boy, "Daddy, she is so ugly". "Oh my God, you're so rude. Stop!!! Be a gentleman", he was quite irritated and embarrassed. "But she's ugly. Really ugly". I burst out laughing then though all I wanted is to run back to my place to cry.

just about all of these insults

things like

'you'd be pretty if your face wasnt coverd in craters'

and they way people look at you is sometimes even enough

Yesterday, someone just got really straight forward towards my acne.

YOUR FACE IS TERRIBLE~

LOL, I was like, yea I know~

Ugh at camp the other day a five year old girl asked what the red dots on my face were. I explained that it is something that happens to teenagers and she replied with "well I hope I don't get them because they would look bad on my clear face". Thanks child. Kids can be so harsh while not meaning to.

think the only time was when this one chick turned me down and later told someone why. i think you can guess why.

that sucked but she was a bitch so i dont know why I even confessed in the first place

Basically my project mate in school, after hearing I went to Vietnam during summer, was asking me whether I bought a wife there. The implication is that Im too ugly to find a wife, hence the need to buy one.

Also, there was another time, when we were discussing a presentation board thingy. The same guy was saying that the thing looks ugly, but another girl was saying 'no it looks professional'. Then he said, you think *insert my name* looks professional?

In 8th grade this 7th grade girl came up to my lunch table and insulted everyone of my friends, and when she got to me she told me I needed proactiv. I've never even said anything to her before. It made me really upset at the time, not exactly because she insulted me but because it just reminded me how much I knew it was true. (Not about proactiv, just about the acne in general, proactiv never impressed me). And actually, instead of having an urge to hurt her back, I wanted to compliment her. I wanted her to see how she was a bitch to insult someone who was willing to still remain kind, and feel bad enough about that.

I've had the classic little kid comment of "what's all over your face?" And this other child who always called me freckle face and laughed.

Then there are those people who have major eye contact problems.

And my mother, she's always trying to get me to cover my blemishes with makeup but I always refuse. I wish she just respected the fact that I have the attitude to go out without it in the first place.
