I have always struggled with my acne for as long as I can remember growing up its been one of my biggest insecurities, im 20 now and I can say I've probably dealt with acne since I was 14 , there's been plenty of times where my acne made me feel “ugly “ or un worthy. When I was young and someone I found attractive would come talk to me id tilt my head as silly as that shit sounds lmaoo I did everything in my power to avoid people looking at my face for too long with the fear of them thinking I was hideous ...I hated coming home and knowing someone in the family was randomly bring up ways to help me get rid of my acne ... they would say “ you have a pretty face ,once you get rid or your acne your good to go “ or “ I can help you get rid of those marks”... I know its there's and believe me im trying , I see everyday when I wake up when I use the bathroom when I go to wash my hands  when im in the dressing room , and yea I wash my face multiple times a day all that ... if I were to get rejected in back of my mind I would always place it to my acne ..talking to girls felt impossible .when I would go on dates or I was seeing someone I was afraid they'd look at my face and would go running I felt so ugly..though its a common struggle you still end up feeling like the only monster in the room . To this day I still struggle with my acne and there's times where I don't feel as pretty as I am . im still learning acne does not make you ugly and having acne isn't your personality  you are still beautiful and worthy of going out , of finding a partner and still worthy of being confident .

Hi, today I would like to talk about something that affects a lot of people, especially teenagers: acne. But first... what is acne? Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. It is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. I never had pimples in my life, and since I turned 17 I’m dealing with acne.

I think I’ve never been so frustrated, stressed out, ASHAMED OF MYSELF, DISGUSTED BY MYSELF as I am now.

Acne is terrible. And not because it “ruins” your face. It’s terrible because people out there disgustingly stare at you, you can notice it by the look in their face; not to mention the boys. I think that if people wouldn’t act like this, bearing acne would be a lot of easier. I won’t say “love yourself” or stuff like that because I would be inconsistent, as I’m the first here disgusting myself and complaining about pimples. I’ll tell you something that happened to me some days ago, something that prompted me to write this. I was at school, I arrived early, so I was eating a snack since I don’t have time to have breakfast. A “friend” of mine came to me, looked at me, and pulled my face mask up saying: “so no one will see your pimples”. I was appalled... I wasn’t feeling bad for what she said to me, I just was shocked by the act. How dare you saying something so mean and rude to someone? To a friend? I hate ignorance, rudeness, and human wickedness. I’m still appalled by this episode. Do you know what I did? I remained silent without reacting. I should have pulled my mask down and told her: "excuse me, how dare you?" or "can’t you see I’m eating?" But you know... sometimes it’s better to be indifferent. I end by telling you something that my father suggested me to say whenever someone comments my pimples:

"Every pimple is a man I seduced"
