The American culture in particular is very focused very much on appearance. Naturally if you have acne or are overweight, you'll get criticized for it. No one chooses to have acne. It's not like anyone would ever wake up one day thinking to themselves, "I'd like to have pimples on my face for the rest of my life."
Having acne can effect your self-esteem, how you interact with others and how others see you. I can't tell you how many times boys would tease me, girls would make nasty comments about my skin or even adults would stop me and say, "You know_____ works really great for acne." People would talk to me as if I weren't already doing everything I could to stop the acne, as if I didn't wash my face or as if it were some kind of contagious disease. There was a friend of mine who thought it would be funny to call me "scar face." It's horrible to go through life like that.
Luckily, I found that there were certain dietary triggers that caused my acne. So I know how to keep things under control. As a result of dealing with acne, I can empathize with anyone who has had anything different about their appearance.
no cause i can careless about acne
and it can be prevented i just don't
Yes i have acne and it is really really really depressing, i mean i wish there was a way to just get RID of it i mean its so annoying. It really brings down my self esteem as well.
Well i had horrible acne and it left scars all over by upper back and chest...and when i look at it..i get upset. So as long as the scars are there, then yes it has also scarred me emotionally. But of the scars somehow went away, i dont think it would affect me at all.
yes.....i've had acne since i hit puberty....i'm 29 now and i still breakout occasionally around my period....not as much tho but still....i have shallow pitted scars on my cheeks and temples and i absolutely hate my face....ive seen people with worse scars so by comparison my face isnt that bad ....personally in my head i think they are a lot worse than they really are....i hate looking in the mirror that has bright lights.....i avoid well lit areas...whenever girls w porcelain skin complain about a tiny little pimple i get very upset....i hate watching tv w someone w smooth skin n then a proactive commercial comes on, i feel like the other person is thinking,"maybe she should use that"........i cry alot about my face and wish that i can rip it off....i feel like i look like a monster......other people dont think so, otherwise i wouldn't have as many boyfriends as i've had and still do but there are times where i just wanna crawl under a rock and die.
