I was on the local bus (not a school one) today and a couple girls, around 16 or 15, started to whisper while staring at me and laughing in between. I heard one of them say, "I dare you to ask her." And the other one goes, "No you do it!". I just listened to my music on my phone while looking down pretending not to hear.
The girl then speaks loud enough for the whole bus to hear, "Do you want some sauce with that pizza face?" Every teenager on the bus laughed like crazy, and I started to tear up and got off early. I cried a bit but I'm better now.
I just wonder if any of you guys have been told something about your acne?
They say "oh what happen on your skin?" "your skin was not like that before."
I just hate people to look at my face or my friends just talk about my face everytime we hang out.So,I just stay at my house most of the time
I am sorry that I hear the young ladies said sth bad to you like that.But,if u can come over it,you can be stronger.
You can be a strong person without caring about people's judgements. Your life is yours and not belong to those stupid girls.
Nothing is long lasting even acnes.It will go away soon.I believe it.
sorry you had to go through that experience. those kids are idiots but most kids that age don't know any better. people don't know how bad words can hurt someone and unfortunately some people never learn even into adulthood.
I've been through stuff like a barber pointing out my acne to the other barbers while making recommendations on how to get rid of it while I'm sitting there getting my haircut feeling helpless and wanting to rage. Most severe was a coworker of mine after a disagreement told me to kill myself because I'm ugly. I'm 31 now and ever little messed up experience in life has hurt me really bad.
I hope you don't have to go through these experiences much longer. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. I wish you all the best and we are all here for you. I'm sure every one of us has had moments like that. Take care.
someone has asked me what happened to my face...I guess they thought I was a burn victim or something bc they were honestly concerned but it just made me want to cry bc I knew that it was honestly that noticeable. sorry to hear about such blatant trash talk to your face about ur acne that's really mean :/
you see.... YOU #$%@ SEE!!!!! is this kind of bull #$@% that makes me hate this world, people just don't give a rat's ass about us. then they wonder why some one losses it and goes nut's. I said it once and I'll say it again PLANET EARTH IS TRASH! now on the topic, no because of my big frame and mean look I have yet to see someone stupid enough to say something like that directly to my face and if they did. I'd drop everything and start swinging there and then, they'll say it behind my back or with a group like cowards but never confront me one on one about it.

How old are you? Teenagers can be so mean... I'm so glad I am not one anymore, but I guess you can still be around teenagers if you're on a public bus or something even when you're older.
I've never had anyone say anything to my face before, but I know people must notice because sometimes my face is really clear and sometimes it is really bad cause I will break out when I go through a bunch of stress/a busy schedule. I always feel like my friends can see it and are thinking something about it but they never say anything to my face. Sometimes I'll say something to my boyfriend but he always says "I didn't even notice" or something like that. I think sometimes he's just trying to make me feel better though because I always think it's pretty obvious. It's a weird feeling but I think sometimes its just in my head too. I try to let my self confidence over ride it but its hard.
Wow, I can't believe someone would say something like that. I know the typical 15ish year old isn't the most mature but whatever happened to being respectful and compassionate. Sheesh. That really blows. I'm sorry that happened.
One thing that really got to me once was when the little boy (about four) I was babysitting looked up, touched my face and said "Why do you have spots?" It just made me realize that my acne was noticeable even to a little innocent 4 year old
Another time I was getting ready to go to a club with a friend of mine and I was in front of the mirror looking at my dress. My friend came in with some make up and started applying it to my shoulders. She just said "You know you're a best friend when you do this". Yes, I love her for helping me out but I just knew in that moment it was so bad that even she knew it needed to be covered up
i am just gonna repeat myself again.
i am really sorry darling to hear that.
these girls will grow up to become some starlets or just dumb plastics...so have pity!
they obsly dnt have what we call is sense & gray matter.forgive them.pray they grow up and get a grip on life.
plus,if i were u,i would have laughed back saying.."and do u want some brain in that empty skull?"
u r what u r!
u r beautiful.
for u faced that..and u know u r good,dont u?
so,screw them.
work on ur life..for these morons are all gonna go away but ur life's gonna shine.=)
*hugs*
I'm sorry as hell that you had to deal with that. Those girls sound like little brats who have been spoiled by the media. Probably have their faces buried in fashion magazines ever day and they'll grow up to be ignorant wastes of space popping out babies in a trailer park somewhere You'll grow stronger and remember that it doesn't matter what petulant little bullies have to say...their opinions are the equivalent of shit. I'm wishing you well and remember you're not alone.
I think the one that really sticks with me was I was at work one day (security guard in a casino) and some old man came up to the security podium and made some comment to me saying "You're a good looking young man...get that under control!" and then he pointed to the acne on my face.
If I hadn't been at work I literally would have jumped over that podium and knocked his withered old ass right the fuck OUT...that's how mad that comment made me.
Some people have no internal filter and they say some the stupidest things ever without considering how it makes the people around them feel.
I've been dealing with acne for a long time and I'm quite surprised that no one (excluding my mom) has commented about my skin even when it was at its worst- when my face was all scabbing. I don't know if I'm surrounded by nice people or the fact that people are intimidated by my rough, tuggish look (from acne scarring). I really hope that continues because I can't imagine the horrible things i could do if someone insults my skin.
people now and then talk about what is it on my face?
dont i have proper bowel movement?
i mean seriously?
thats my spleen over growing on my face!!u have a problem?
but u know all i do (unless they are extremely rude) is i smile and ignore!

(i am sorry i'm really being quite rude and aggressive now and then here..but i see some people talk so badly here.its unbearable after a point!)
"You know what's annoying? Your acne." - A friend
"Your face looks horrible." - Mother
"Is that a rash?" - Best friend
"If you ate better your skin wouldn't be so gross." - mother
I eat so healthy except for the occasional brownie/soda when I'm not feeling too happy.
The acne on my chest used to look like a rash but there isn't any more on my chest, it sort of migrated up to my FACE.
Acne makes me self conscious.
I would divide, in my case, people into my family members and others. My family are my brother and mom. My brother is a clown. He thinks acne is a joke because probably he has been blessed with clear skin. So for him it is all laughs and jokes. He supports me but in a nonchalant way. My mom thinks I am exaggerating my acne situation. She says: "Oh you have nothing on your face... I don't see anything... You are paranoid". Don't get me wrong, I appreciate her support, but exaggerated support can be quite annoying sometimes (I know I sound ungrateful but I know she exaggerates).
Others:
"OMG, you have less acne now but your scars are more visible as a result"
"Your chin acne is your impediment to success"
"Why do you get that cyst in the first place?"
"If only your chin acne disappeared... you would have been even more beautiful"
*SIGH*
