The kids at my school are really shallow. Sure, I'm going to a new school next year, but the odds are, I'm STILL going to be teased! I admit that I have pimples, and I try my best to get rid of them. Lucky for those idiots at my school, they don't have to deal with them yet! It's so unfair! Even my FRIENDS tease me about it (don't say they're not real friends, because they're the only ones I have)! And they're the only friends I haveI try creams, and they work for a WHILE, but then I'm teased! I'm known as acne freak, and they're known as "perfect-faces". What can I do to get these kids to stop? I mean, it seems like my face will never be perfect like theirs. Oh sure, they get tiny little zits once in a blue moon (and when I say tiny, I mean like smaller than little pesky ants), but it seems like I'll ALWAYS have pimples. In fact, it seems like my pimples are one of my bigest weaknesses, and people even say things like, "You'll NEVER get a boyfriend like that!" Got any advice, anyone?

Have you tried changing your diet? My sister had acne problems until she saw a dietitian.... she was put on a strict list of what not to eat and her acne cleared up like magic.
The only way you can get people to stop teasing you is to not be bothered by it. Make a joke out of it yourself or just say "whatever." They're only bothering you because they can.

Talk to a dermatologist and would also suggest to watch the things you eat, for instance I know that butter and chocolate are my face' worst enemy, so you know, maybe by changing certain types of food or stuff you put on top of it will help, you could reduce the amount or change them for something else.
Also, wash your face every time you get a chance with special soap for acne, whatever your doctor recommends,
Do not touch your face too much so that you wont get it infected with dirty hands or something (I mean if it's like really a bad acne case)
Try to forget about the kids that tease you, I know it's hard but you must focus on the good stuff you have. everyone gets teased I'm sure you "perfect-face" friends get teased because of the way they speak, if they act stupid, if they have braces or glasses, if they're fat... everyone has something someone will always bully them about, just build some self confidence and believe me the acne will go away but you must get a specialist t tell you how to get rid of it.

Help is here for you.
I had acne as a teenager, also. A terrible emotional time for me.
However, I visited with a Physician and took antibiotics and reduced the oil on my face. A bit of sunshine worked wonders.
Today, there are many treatments for acne, Retin-A, Derma -abrasion.
Acne can be caused by hormonal changes in the body.
My suggestions is to see a Dermatologist. Because, you may purchase over the counter Skin Medications and the cost will add up. The Physician has access to potent prescription medication that work very well. The Physician may also have free samples for you to try.
Above all, please realize that your acne is a temporary condition.
Your Friends are cruel to you at this time. One day, they may have a condition that will affect their life...and they will be seeking the same help that you are seeking. I hope that someone helps them or they will be very lonely.
Good Luck and God Bless you.

OMG! I hate kids! Look, I don't know how old you are, but I know that kids in elementary school or early high school are the meanest. They think that they are so perfect, like they have no problems, when really they are dumb morrons. Teasing someone about something they can't control is the lowest thing a person can do, because you having blemishes is not your fault. I don't think there is a way to get them to stop though, the best you can do is just ignore them. I suggest that you start taking birth control, something like Ortho TriCyclen, it's for acne.Just know that you don't have to suffer alone, there are others like you out there, even if you don't believe it.So try the birth control, it's good stuff.

get over it... they dont matter.
to thyself be true... know how cool you are... and be happy with that.
there is a cream called fluocinonide that is supposed to be the best...
speak blessings from God over yaself and ya body each morning... speaking life over his creation takes authority over it in the supernatural realm...
but really none of that stuff matters... just wait be patient... fitting in means nothing... most of those people that mocka nd make fun of from my highschool are 23 yr old mommies and daddies that go out and party every week and nothing to show for anything... they end up losing in the end... as for ya friends... find new ones... popular people usually are the most messed upa nd shallow people there are find a loner or a geek girl to chill with... and focuz on school and success not stupid fads and retards :D

Try proactive and use it twice a day. At your age your body is changing and it is part of life right now. Don't scrub your skin use a mild cleanser. You also need to eat healthy avoid greasy foods.
