I had bad acne from 11 years old till around 13. This was summer before 7th grade, til summer before 8th grade, puberty hit. Also being short to go with it. Some school mates teased me, naturally girls would “ewwww” me. Even my own siblings teased me. I went to the doctor for a physical, and this asshole sent me home with acne medication prescription instead. So you can see what kinda impressions strangers got.
I don’t have bad features, so it was just the acne ruining my life. I had a bunch of friends, got along with most school mates. I just want a looker for the time.
By the time I went back to school for 8th grade, most of my acne cleared and I shot up another 8 inches or so in height over summer, so I wasn’t the short pizza face anymore. I mean, I’m still short, but at the time, I had passed most my friends heights. This naturally boosted my confidence, girls started showing interest, and strangers didn’t give me the stares. I ended up hooking up one of id say top 5 hottest girls in school.
In high school, I’ve had a couple pretty girlfriends. Got into working out, so I had an athletic build. I had a job since 15, so I mean, it wasn’t too hard now to impress a girl.
How did it change me? It gave me an understanding of how it feels to be teased, called ugly, even by family. I hated life, everyday I wished a miracle would happen and If wake up with no acne. Id never ever tease anyone for having acne, or even skin conditions, its devastating. Im glad I was strong enough to still smile through that time, even though I hated life. It even affected me to the point that I hated being in school, I started rebelling, I was failing, barely moved on to the next grades.
It wasn’t that I’m stupid, I actually paid attention, could pass the tests, I just wouldn’t do homework. Teachers told me straight up they passed me only because they knew I was paying attention and not stupid, but they couldn’t give me any grades above a D because I never did homework. Plus I spent months everyday after school for 1.5 hours doing extra credit work.
I dropped out after 3 years in high school. I already had a job, I still didn’t like school, so I went on to work full time. Ive had a few jobs through the years, and good decent paying too. Even had been offered supervisor position at one. I became self employed 10 years ago in a career that I chose when I was 15, became a business owner little over 3 years ago.
17 years same girl, 4 kids, business owner, financially good. Life isn’t perfect, but I cant complain either. All my past experiences was/is my fuel to achieve. Im the first in my family to self employ and own a business.
But, I’ll always stick by this, don’t ever tease people that are physically unattractive due to things they cant control, especially children. You never know how they may be feeling. My own sister once saw me sitting watching tv, I had my hand on my chest neck area and was resting my chin on it, dunno why, just was, my sister says “what are you doing?” I said “Nothing, just watching tv, why?”. She says “Looks like you were choking yourself, thought you were killing yourself because nobody likes you”. I’ll never forget that. It was so casual how she said it, it wasn’t like she ran to me and tried to stop me.
I was 12 years old and I actually had thought of killing myself several times.
