If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

I'm 15, and no, not everyone gets it, although a lot of people will get it eventually (if not in their teens, then in their 20's, etc.)
Don't do what I did! I went out and bought all these harsh products, such as Clearasil and Clean & Clear cleansers, as they are over-drying, which irritates your skin and causes it to produce more sebum (oil), which then in turn leads to pimples. I now have sensitive skin and use Cetaphil's moisturiser and a daily sunscreen.
If pimples do start to appear, make such you use a gentle cleanser (I use Neutrogena's Extra Gentle Cleanser. Even Cetaphil (the cleanser) stung my skin. Then, make sure you MOISTURISE! It is the biggest mistake - cleansing then forgetting to moisturise. If you're scared this will lead to pimples forming, make sure you chose an oil-free one which doesn't clog your pores. And only dab pimple cream on areas which are affected with pimples (such as your T-zone).
Also, drink heaps of water and exercise! Sweat is great, as it releases the toxins from your body.

No matter what you do, you will get them!
You can just make them better keeping you face and rest of the body clean, and do not touch your face with dirty hands!
Do not use stuff that closes up your pores because it is reason for acne because your skin can not breath and all sort of stuff that should get out of your skin get stuck and then acne come out

no , not everyone gets it.
you don't really want to close up your pores , clean them out then close them yes but just close them no.
what i do is i wash my face and hands about 2-3 times a day or whenever it feels all dry..don't always use soap on your face though cause its not good to do that.
try not to touch your face and keep your hair off your face too.
eat healthily and try to avoid eating excessively oily food , and don't be around a lot of oily places like fast food restaurants and pizza places , at least don't hang around them for very long.
you will most likely end up getting a few zits or pimples every once and a while but that's normal and its not acne , if you let it heal on its own it wont leave scars.

Not everyone gets acne, there are people in this world who have never got acne in their whole life.
Also persons who have oily skin are most likely to get acne as compared to dry skin.

Not everyone gets acne. You need to just keep doing what you are doing and you should be ok.

I only knew one guy in high school who never had zits and he was from Colombia... we used to kid him that it was all the coke and weed that kept his complexion clear. Everybody else had them at one time or another, I was plagued by acne throughout my entire adolescence.

Almost everyone gets it. I think it has to do with diet. Japanese people didn't used to get it and a lot of people in Asia still don't get it. Also, I've rarely seen a Mormon get it.
