I am so fucking proud of myself I have been really really depressed and insecure and just have had a hatred for myself for years now. I am just getting over it and I am so happy. My skin has been tragic forever and it’s been a main source of all this. I’ve had a lot of acne. I had just regular acne, cystic acne, body acne, etc and it’s finally clearing up! I’ll insert pics of it below if you wanna see. I started these new prescriptions and they’ve worked so well. I’m only 12 and had acne since I was 10. I was harassed at home by my brothers for it, which was the absolute worst. If you’ve been through it, you know what it’s like. Being put down by people you love is really sad. My brothers told me my nose was too big and that I looked like pinnchio, my acne made me look like a monster with herpes, etc. Their comments made me hate myself too. I started telling myself I was ugly and at the age of 12, I started wearing loads of makeup to school on the daily just so I could feel pretty enough. Now I only wear mascara which may still seem like too much because I’m like four but it’s a step forward. Also, aside from my brothers being absolute dicks to me, boys at school harassed me. Genetically, I have big hips and a big butt. Boys at school would tell each other they wanted lap dances from me, they wanted to do disgusting things to me, and I’m some cases it even got physical. Everyday for a week straight a boy in my history class touched my ass on the way out. I tried to sprint out that hoe immediately but he followed right behind me. If you’ve never been through it, it’s hard to understand but it’s really hard to deal with. Especially for me because I have anxiety and I’m really shy, I can’t just tell someone to stop when I don’t like something. I know that’s bad but it’s the way that I am and I can’t help it. Anyways, I am starting to love myself for who I am. I still have a lot to do, I want to get back into soccer, I dropped out of it because my depression made me lose interest in it and all that I loved.

Acne pictures:

To you these may not be bad, but these are cystic pimples meaning they go way deep under the skin, they hurt really bad, the itch even, etc.

You can’t really see my skin but you can tell it’s clear and this picture just makes me feel really good about myself
