Toothpaste. No kidding.
What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into pimples. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly pimples.
Pro active.
Because you havent had acne before, i would reccomend getting a gentle apricot face scrub, or oatmeal soap (sounds gross but really works). Washing your face many times isnt going to help you. You could wash your face until you start to bleed and that wouldnt help. Unfortunatley getting rid of acne is a bit of a longer process. Dont wash your face more often that 3 times a day (Before school, during school after PE get a wet paper towel and just wipe your face, then In the shower or before you go to bed) Best of luck

If it's small, try Acnomel, usually beauty & consumer product stores carry it, but it can be hard to find, but it really does work wonders and acts well as a concealer, way better than clearasil and the like.
Other than washing your face a lot :
Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.
Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies. Becareful it might make your skin dry. If your skin gets dry use a moisturizer lotion.
Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning. This might also make your skin dry.
Drink plenty of water.
Pimple Removal :
Prepare for a small surgical pimple removing procedure. You'll need a small sewing needle, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze (or a small band-aid), and some warm water. Some people think you'll need to run a needle through a flame. This isn't Dr. Quinn Medicine woman. Rubbing alcohol will do.
Wash your face and hands before attempting to pop the pimple. Washing your face and hands ensures that all makeup, oils, germs and bacteria are no longer near the pimple you're about to burst. Also, dip a majority of the needle in the alcohol, and for safe measure apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple--dabbing with some gauze to dry the area.
Prick the white part of the pimple very lightly with the tip of your needle. Once you've done that, put two small squares of gauze on either side of the pimple and apply pressure with two fingers to ensure that the remaining puss is squeezed out of the pore, retaining pressure until clear liquid appears. When clear liquid or blood appears, you'll know the pimple is gone.
Wipe the pimple clean with an alcohol soaked gauze pad. It'll sting a little, but that's a good thing. The alcohol will kill most of the bacteria in and around the wound, helping you to avoid an infected pimple. If you wish, you can put a small, sterile bandaid on the area or cover it with an antibacterial concealer
