Hi guys! ... Well yeah I have been dealing with acne since I was 13 it wasn't really a big deal to me until I was in high school, I seriously got rejected because I had acne, now I'm SUPER DEPRESSED. I don't ever want to be at school, I just want to be at home , where nobody could look at my face , sometimes I think about home school . every day seems super long ... I don't even look at people in the eye cause its just embarrassing to know what they're thinking about me. I wish I had clear skin , I wish I can be like the rest of the people my age.. Going out.. Having fun... But me.. I'm just staying in at home in my room , sad just looking at things to cure my face. I really hate it to be honest. I could be doing other things... I deleted my Facebook and Instagram because on there my face looks clean. I don't want people to see me in real life and say I look different because of my acne. (Which happend to me twice) ... I just want someone to talk to.. I cut a lot of people off because I just feel like I'm not good enough. I'm too focused on myself to focus on other things... My teenage life is passing each day without me enjoying it... Because of stupid ACNE !!!! I never get ready anymore. I have bad hygyne now by that I don't even get ready I'm just in a long shirt and shorts at home laying down all day, looking in the mirror ... I seriously need help :(

I am very sorry that people were rude enough to reject you only off of looks. As difficult as it may be, it will help if you can at least try to find things you like about yourself. Maybe you like your eyes or an ability. While it won't help the acne, you can ice and maintain your face while focusing on the positives.

My major problem was picking at my skin. My whole body is riddled with deep and minor scars. People called me a stoner, ugly, and even my dermatologist was surprised. However, I try to take care of my health and treat my skin. It takes a long time, so I have to find other distractions.

If you keep finding that you are by yourself, perhaps try a hobby. This can be artistic, reading, or even video games. Being stuck in your thoughts right now can be emotionally hurtful, so please try to stay positive, okay?

Hope this helped.
