Acne is literally ruining my whole junior year. I had acne last year and thought it was bad but cleared it up. Then after the summer with one or two occasional pimples i broke out right before school started. People kept telling me i had to wash my face and stuff. At the time it seemed bad but not until a few days later i broke out terribly. My left and right cheek was covered in inflamed pimples and white pus coming out. Now its been 2 days that I have been taking doxycycline and tretinion and my acne is looking terrible. Its black in some parts and so dry and flaky. Its embarrising to go to school. This whole week i cut school and i lied to my girlfriend and teacher that i had family problems. I am very depressed and i dont want to go to school i dont want people to see my face. If im in school i always walk with my head down. I ignore my friends. I spend lunch in the bathroom and i always look away when people stare at me because it is very embarrising. At times i feel suicidal but thats dum because the acne will get better eventually. But i am very impatient and i dont know how to get thru these times. Please someone help.
For starters, the fact that you have a girlfriend should be something to smile about. And to be honest... I doubt she's judging you and neither are any of your friends. Not all people are shallow and judgemental. People who assume that people with acne need to 'wash more' are just ignorant. Truth is, people who have acne probably wash at least twice as much as people who don't. Acne doesn't have anything to do with how clean you are. It just means the glands in your skin produce too much oil. Be honest with your girlfriend. Tell her why you feel down. She may surprise you with her response (that's hoping she's supportive). You know that by writing on this blog you are free to be you and no one is judging you because we're all in a similar position. But be honest with the people close to you. It helps. For years I hid the fact that I was dreadfully conscious about my skin. But when I finally told my boyfriend how paranoid I was... I felt better. And he understood. He knew (deep down) that it bothered me. He just never chose to approach the subject in case I got offended by it. I'm not trying to offer relationship advice. But don't allow your education to suffer because your skin is bad. Your skin won't be bad forever. But you don't get a second chance at education.... (Trust me, I know) and i know that having acne at times can literally make you feel like a leapor... Like something is eating away at your face... But, the important thing to remember is that you're taking your meds and they WILL start to work. Most people get spots, but we don't all get spots at the same age. Hold your head high and don't allow this to get you down 
Its ok bro I was like this too back when I was in highschool I had to avoid everyone cause I felt my skin was good enough today. But we can't keep running from our problems. Live life to your fullest potential because acne is temporary. I know it's hard because you feel depressed but don't beat yourself down because of something you can't control it's natural. You don't wanna regret running from your social life just saying. Make everyday positive or try your best. Overall it gets better trust me
