=]]

if you have a lot of stress or are working extremely hard and have a lot on your mind, that could've caused them. Whatever you do, DON'T PICK OR POP THEM! picking and popping pimples make them bleed and get worse and leave scars. Just leave them be, but make sure to thoroughly wash your face TWICE A DAY, morning and night. They should go away soon. If that doesnt' work, consult your doctor about what medications to use on them.

you should try proactive,ive heard it works but i havent tried it myself. but the easiest way is to just watch your face every day,before you go to school,after you come to school and before bed. dont overwork yourself because stress are a major cause in pimples and breakouts. relax yourself and if you feel stressed do something fun to take your mind off of it. if you have bangs or hair that touches any part of your face take showers regularly to keep the hairs oils out of the skin. bangs are espasily important as it comes in direct contact with your skin and the hair seeps its oils into it,causing face problems also never pop the pimples. it will just makes it even worse because the bacteria will spread to other parts of your face and cause even more problems. buy facial wash and use it as directed. try differnt products and see which one works for you. everyones skin is differnt. best of luck
edit: Candy Lover's answer is extremely good. please look into what she said =D

Have you tried the acne(dot)org discussion forums? Lots of information there that has helped me over the years. If you're insured I would recommend seeing a dermatologist as well.
