I know how it feels. I was there too.

Aw I feel ya OP, I had terrible acne as a tween. /: just wash your face 3 times a day, drink lots of water, and eat healthy.

I had nasty acne from about age 13 until 25. What I learned to do was wash my naturally oily face often, use a good non-cream, non-perfumed soap, and use an astringent wipe. Those steps tended to keep the pores clear. One of the most important things I had to learn was to keep my hands off my face. I'd touch my face while smoking - I had to learn to not touch my chin or cheek. I'd rest my head on my hand while working in class, reading or doing homework - I had to learn to hold my head up with my neck. I developed hand washing habits that verged on OCD. Those things kept most of the plugged pores that still happened from getting infected. I saw doctors to be sure my acne was just the ordinary variety that plague most teenagers. In the mean time, I had to learn to not pick and not pop so the blackheads and pimples that did develop did not scar me for life. Then it was a matter of waiting until I grew out of it.

I'm sorry! I had it on my nose and forehead! you'll get through it and realize in a few years, who really gives a shit about acne? it will probably die down or go away, but keep your head up. youth isn't really as long as it feels

xxxxoooo I know how you feel.

Your soul is acne free! Just hang in there. It will get better.

I'm sorry OP! I hope it's just little skin colored acne bumps and not the painful deep cysts I still get at 26. Acne of any kind really sucks no matter your age.

Be patient OP. It'll go away. I battled it throughout High school and heard all the jokes about it. My face is clear now and I feel better about myself.

Do Accutane. The time you are on it is awful, but the results are great!

You aren't alone OP. I'm 22 and I thought they'd be gone by now, but I remain the one with terrible skin.
