Then when I turned 14, I started developing acne, and guys just stopped talking to me. And I haven't had a relationship sinceI've asked people if they think my personality's changed because of it, and none of them have noticed a differance.

 Are you sure it is because of acne and not that you are growing older and the guys also get more perverted typcally? A young teenage boy cares about different things than a boy before he reaches puberty. Going to different schools might also be it.
My personal opinion though is that acne isn't pretty. I have it myself, and think I look just horrible without makeup on. Im not sure if I'd attract that many guys when Im not covering up my scars. Good skin is attractive, it just is. And acne isn't. Simple as that. Once guys get to know me they'll not care, I've never had a boyfriend complain or find me less attractive after he's seen me without makeup. But the initial attraction might not have been there if I hadn't been using foundation to cover the acne and scars.
Looks aren't everything. Thats correct. But there's no use in lying to you either: pretty girls get attention (perhaps not the good kind, but still) and acne isn't pretty.

I'm not, speaking from a personal basis. At 14, I think that you will find very few relationships have any emotional depth to them. Generally, they are devices used to gain attention and popularity, or simply 'look cool'. Most of the guys that surrounded you were probably rather shallow people, encircling you because they liked your looks. But as you get older (and it takes varying amounts of time, people are different after all), you will find that people look at the character of people, not their physical appearance primarily. Besides, for me at least, acne doesn't make someone physically unattractiveTo conclude this, if you are to google 'Acne treatments' you will find numerous treatments stocked on the shelves of pharmacists and even supermarkets which sort the 'problem' (if it can really be defined as that, I think not) out for youGood luckLouis
