Today, I thought my face was breaking out with pimples, and I thought it was weird because I never break out. And I noticed all these "bug bites" all over my body. When I got home, I realized those weren't bug bites. I have chicken pox, and my high school graduation is tomorrow. FML

Today, at Church, the little boy sitting behind me asked his mother if I had the chicken pox, because there were red dots all over my face. I've had bad acne since I was twelve. FML

Today, I was at a sleepover for a friend's birthday. It was great, but after sleeping on their pull out couch, I woke up with six pimples on my face and a rash on my back. FML

Today, I realized that the "pimples" on my back weren't pimples at all. Because I was unable to see how bad they were for the last week, I never caught on to the fact the they were, in fact, ticks. FML

Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML

Today, I went to the doctor for what I thought was a persistent bug bite. Turns out it was a mole I'd never noticed. I had been scratching it then applying anti-itch cream for weeks. FML

Today, I found out that my recurring acne is actually bedbug bites. I have wasted about a hundred dollars on acne cream. FML

Today, as always, I have a type of eczema that flares up when I'm stressed out or anxious. And today, the girl I've been in love with for 4 years asked me out on a date. We meet up in a few hours, and right now I look like I have smallpox. FML

Hope you see this in time. Not many people know but once the dots start to show you are no longer contagious. You are contagisius in the time leading up to when they show so you can go to graduation. They only thing you have to worry about is comfort. That's y chicken pox spread parents take their kids out when the spot show but at that point they have already infected everyone.

I went to my Kindergarten "graduation" in long sleeves because I was still recovering from chicken pox. I was in what I think was just about the last batch of kids who got it routinely before the vaccine came out. Still, if you knew were never vaccinated and never caught it... you should have asked to get vaccinated!

yeahhh, you don't deserve it (not that anyone does), but you should just be grateful that it was chicken pox, which lasts a few days/weeks, instead of actually being pimples, which could be all the time for years. your life is far from ******, dear...

FYL. ): sorry about your spots. Hopefully you won't feel too sick for graduation (you're not contagious after the spots show up). I'm hoping this was a case of getting the pox twice, rather than not having been vaccinated... Not vaccinating your kids is completely irresponsible, both to the children and to society as a whole. Parents who don't get their kids vaccinated should be required to take an introductory biology class, where they will learn how diseases become resistant to vaccines.

#6 Getting the chicken pox at a young age is a misconception. You can get it at any age, but I hear it's worse in adults. I got them when I was in 7th Grade. #7 (and everyone else who mentioned him not getting a vaccination) The chicken pox vaccination isn't permanent. It wears off, probably after 10 years or so, which was my situation. So, everyone, you may want to go see your doctor.
