We could care less. I hate that I still have acne at 21, but it has never made any difference to the other.
Sometimes, very young children will ask what is wrong with your face. You simply smile, remember that they don't honestly know, and just say they are owies.
Don't worry. Acne is bad, but people will look beyond it. :)

I had it and to be honest I didn't really care about it. Anyone who treats you different or judges you isn't worth your time. If you do think it is bad, you can do the doctor and get medication to help. But honestly, don't worry about it.

reader, anonymous, writes (31 December 2009): I would not treat someone differently if they had acne. I know no-one treated me any differently when I had acne. In fact some of my friends tried to help by suggesting skin treatments I could try. Your friends and family will not treat you any differently because of your acne. If other people do, then trust me, they are not worth knowing.

reader, anonymous, writes (31 December 2009): skin issues are part of growing up, some people have it some don't- a a very few carry it into adulthood. folks are going to notice, and in a few seconds get over it. What they will notice shortly thereafter is your personality... this isn't a pep talk about how that's more important, except that if your shy about your skin it's going to make it alot harder for folks to get to know you. I've got a very good freind who has bad skin, but he's got a great personality, has a great outlook on life and is a great guy. I'm sure that in his younger years he let this get him down, but today, no one (NO ONE) thinks twice about his skin.
Be confident, that's what people will notice- and confident guys are what girls like- that's why they always gravitate to the 'bad boys'- they don't gravitate to the bad quite boys, if you pay attention it's the bad CONFIDENT boys... you don't need to become a rebel, just get confidence. Also, the girls STICK with the good confident boys... the bad ones loose their appeal quick.

 Yes I would notice but I wouldn't treat them differently. All teenagers go through a stage where their skin is pretty bad and where they're feeling self-concious and insecure, including me. Everyone's been there, and if not then there'll be a time that they do.
Treating someone differently over acne is basically discrimination. It's the same as treating someone differently over their clothes, hair colour, the way they walk, anything. Everyone is prejudice, we can't help it. But no one has a right to treat people differently because of the way they look or how bad their acne is.
There are plenty of things your doctor can prescribe you if your acne is bad. Just remember to drink plenty of water and have a good, balanced diet.
You're only human and it's normal to feel like this. If anyone says anything about your acne then they're not worth it. They have no right and are probably insecure about themselves.
Hope I helped. X
