Today, while looking in the mirror at my full-blown grease-spewing acne-riddled face, my father came up behind me and said, "Don't worry son, I had acne like that when I was your age". I replied, "No you didn't", and his immediate response while laughing was, "No, I didn't." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was talking to my parents when all of a sudden my dad started freaking out and asking my mom how I got this really bad allergy on my face. My mom just laughed, and then I had to explain to him that it was just my acne. The worst part is that he was dead serious the whole time. FML
Today, I walked into the dining room to find my mom popping pimples on my dad's back. FML
Today, a little girl pointed to the acne on my face and said to her dad, "Look at how many mosquito bites she has on her face!" FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and I said that I was self-conscious of my acne. He told me that only one of my zits was noticeable and that it wasn't so bad. In fact he said it looked cool, like a bullet wound or something "awesome" like that. 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 got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, I talked to my father for the first time in several years. I proudly told him that I have been attending Beauty School. He looked me up and down and said, "Doesn't look like you've learned much." FML
Today, I met some guys from my dad's workplace. They told him what a pretty daughter he had, to which he responded, "Nah, it's just shit-loads of makeup." FML
Today, man do I feel old. For the first time ever, a teen thug with more acne spots than brain cells told me to, “Piss off grandad.” Grandad? Guess I look older than I feel. FML
Today, I was washing my face like I normally do. My mom walked by as I was wiping my face and said "That's the washcloth I use to wipe my ass!" My dad and brothers are now only addressing me as "Assface." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's ok OP. having acne at this age means you wont have it later in life, when it's probably more important. Also, that was interestingly descriptive o.o

Oh dads, they know just what to say when your feeling down, don't they? ... and I saw someone say "pop them," don't, you don't want the acne scars that come as a result, just put some ice on on the bad ones, and ask your dad if he can take you to a doctor so he can check it out, and possibly prescribe something to help.

Ice really? I've never heard of that, does it actually work? (I really am curious, I have some problems of my own, I'd like a new option!)

Ice can help with the swelling of those really bad ones, and calm the irritation a little, it's not going to make it magically disappear but it helps.

I'll have to try that sometime, thanks!

put the ice in a ziploc behind a dry cloth. Don't rub, just hold it on the swollen or itchy area. Some of the oil in your skin will surface as the swelling goes down and the cloth will help keep it from being reabsorbed.

Have you seen a dermatologist? Everyone is different and it may take a few different types of medication before you find one that works.

Their medication is harsh; not worth being unable to eat without barfing and passing out.

Not all of it is harsh. My doctor gave me a topical prescription (Differin, I think) that has worked like a miracle and, with a bit of lotion, has no ill effects on my skin or the rest of me. (:

Acne medication works wonder. I also heard getting out in the sun helps alot as well.

Vitamin D is also a potent antioxidant, and strongly anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is the reason harmless clogged pores turn into giant inflamed monsters, and oxidation causes damage to the cells in you body, including your skin, so vitamin D could help a lot. The only way to naturally obtain vitamin D is through sun exposure. Just about 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough.

That's why you don't press people when they try and help you feel better. You'll find out most of the time that they don't give a shit. It's only ache though, it'll pass with time.
