Acne.org Products
I have had at least five different little kids ask me what's on my face/what's wrong with my face. I've also had an adult recommend certain makeup products (right, like that will cure cystic acne. I don't even wear makeup in the first place) after asking if I actually have acne. None of them were supposed to be mean, but it felt like a slap in the face.
In high school, these group of kids used to call me and my best friend "the mosquito bite twins" because we both had bad acne. It is the worst when you are around kids and they don't know any better than to point at you and say "boo-boo" or "what happened?" One day people won't have anything to say except how GOOD my skin looks.
wow i love & hate this thread. i posted a reply around 20 pages back a long time ago. this thread has such history, im honored to be apart of it
1.anyway last year i was working at a fast food place, doing the cashier potion (here we go right) when two girls come in & one of them was giving the other gestures as if to ask me out or something. when her friend said "no he's ugly"
2.when i went to the airport about 4 or 5 years ago on of the guys who worked inside said to his coworker "dame he's ugly"
3.During my recent employment in this factory,lasting about 2 months i was being harassed on a daily bases. indirectly but on purpose of course. mostly by the mexican illegals but everyone made a generous contribution.
4.i remember one time 5 years ago i was with family in the mall when a stranger shouted out "que feo" which means how ugly in spanish .
5.when i was 15 i asked my dad if he would buy my a chocolate bar when he said "can't you see how your face is?"
6.for the four years i was in high school i was being verbally harassed probably %80 of the time, i had & in fact still don't have many friends...
7.i have been humiliated by nearly everyone i come into contact in one way or another either directly or indirectly.
sidenote: i have been in alot of identical situations as mentioned before on previous reply's all before the age of 20 (im 19 atm)
Comment's:
god dame/what the fuck/holy shit/oh my god/ewww/ugly/hideous/nasty/fucked up/sad/.. just a few
little personal advice:stay away from big citys they tend to have the most shity people, try in live in a rural place its peaceful for us acne folk. although no place is completely safe. just know that someday it will all be over one way or another. build a rock hard emotional barrier & just know especially from this forum that your not alone
People=shit

Oh the usual:
"what happened to your face?"
"you should go to a doctor/take meds"
And everytime my mom and i disagree on something, she blames my acne. "you keep doing that, that's why you have acne!". One time I'm rubbing disinfectant alcohol on my hands and when she saw it "are you rubbing alchol on your face? that's why you have acne". ugh
Mine has significantly cleared up and I wasn't really teased about my acne in middle school at all as much as elementary really. The ones I remember hating were the "Have you ever tried washing your face?" -____________- really. REALLY!?! Like I haven't tried WASHING MY FACE! HA! And sometimes they truly meant it omg -__________- Also I was talking to my "friend" in like the 5th grade and she just looks right at my zit and goes "Why haven't you popped that? Go in the bathroom and pop that right now I can't even look at you!" and that's what started me on my horrible popping habit... The one that hurt the most was probably when I got in a fight with a boy (5th grade) and he just looked at me and goes "WELL YOU HAVE PIMPLES!" so loud that the whole class heard and I just felt like running out of the room and crying :/
well, this wasn't said to me but my friend. It was in middle school and she had really bad acne, like one's that blend in with your skin color. 
so we were in gym period and just talking outside in the tracks. This girl just randomly comes up to her and asks "OMG DOES THAT HURTTT??" she points at her face so we knew what she was referring to. I was so shocked and so was my friend. we just walked away and didn't talk about it. Just moved on.
I've never really had anyone say anything mean to me straight up about my acne, but I think were it hit me was when at my old job I had two young children comment on it.
"What is that red stuff all over your face?" "What is wrong with your skin?" was pretty much what I was asked both times. I know they didn't mean anything by it and they didn't know or understand, but I was embarrassed and it kind of hit me hard. ):
Another time when my best friend and I were taking taking a photo together and her boyfriend, who was taking the photo, told us to squish I faces together for the photo and she was afraid to actually touch my skin. D: I understand, but it still hurt.
Its not what they say.
They just stare at me. Like im some kind of freak. It hurts.
Little girl on a plane: Mummy, whats on that girls face, its really big''
Dermatologist: So i'm guessing you're here today because of acne on your face
Mum: Are you still taking your medication
Me and my 'friends' were once drawing silly pictures of each other in class and one drew me with loads of acne and dark circles
The worst is when you do your makeup and hair and feel sort of pretty and then you feel someone looking at the mess on your face
A classmate was whining about a couple of pimples on her forehead. Another classmate's comment: "You better look at Tina's (me) face and shut up. Your's is nothing."
My dad's girlfriend's sister - "Just please don't confuse our pillows - I wouldn't like to accidentally put my face on your pillow! Yuk." ( she was always openly disgusted by my acne)
A guy I used to date - "Have you tried washing your face or something?" (that was the last date, ofc)
A friend, after not seeing me for a while - "OMG I thought back then it was bad, but now it looks like you've got smallpox" (we're not friends anymore, but for different reasons)
Today, a hairdresser said that my skin looks like a surface of a moon.
F**k you all who said these things. 
LOL this thread is hilarious and sad at the same time. But hey, we're all on the same boat!
These are a couple that I can recall:
- Kids staring at me and whispering among themselves... causing me a heartbreak every damn time. Even though I'm sure they don't mean any harm, they're just curious.
- "You look like cheese", "You look like the surface of the moon", etc.
- "You've got a boyfriend? With that face? No way".
- "You gotta stop eating so much chocolate" (as if it was related)
- "You should wear more make up". Ehm, no, I shouldn't.
OH i forgot this one! A UNIVERSITY TEACHER said this:
"Guys, you better start studying hard now, you're no longer in high school, you're no longer teens with spotty faces."
A bullet through my heart.
I was on break at a job and was drinking egg whites (needed protein since I lift weights) Then a supervisor saw me drinking it and said.. "That causes pimples.. that's why your skin got worse, 'cause of that" I don't know the exact wording, but was something like that. That made me feel bad,,, he said that in front of the workers 
that was a long time ago.. like 4-5 years.
My grandpa would always be like, "What is on your face!?' or "Stop picking it and it won't scar!" (They scar no matter what).
Or it's something they do...
My grandpa randomly bought me ProActiv. On the outside I was like, "Thanks grandpa!" but in the inside I was like...
Or there is my mom who points it out CONSTANTLY. "Jenny, you need to do something about your face!" I know she's only trying to help because she suffered from acne as well, but it just hurts when it is pointed out.
But when someone else points it out that is not my mom I just pretend it does not bug me and that it does not depress me. I just try and stay strong and just continue going through my day makeupless. Just because people point it out does not mean i am going to it take me over like it has before. I am trying to get rid of if. I am trying all I can. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?
"When were you involved in a train wreck"
Economics teacher in front of the class "The good, the bad and the ugly" giving me a stare
The worst one I can remember "We should put up a poster saying if you are feeling depressed, take a moment and think at least you don't look like this guy (referencing to myself)" Needless to say I chose never to hang round those so called "mates" again
I really just can't wait to be clear, I don't get the point of making comparisons to people either worse off than you or better off than you because everyone's problems affect them in different ways. In a superficial world acne is awful in causing psychological damage socially as you are always being labelled about something as if it's YOUR fault, which is very hard to make an impact on as their is no official cure.
What it has taught me though is to never take anything for granted and that it is always important to try and emphasize with people when suffering with something that may not cause suffering to myself as everyone is different and deserve to be treated with respect. However, if I hear another person complaining of a tiny zit on their skin in front of me the only empathy they will get is a punch to the face
