lol, i clicked on this thread thinking, "like, wtf, mate?" but i can relate, so im gunna help ya out a little...

first of all, the basic thing ya gotta know is, some people have acne, some dont... those people that dont are just pretty bastards, lol, that's all there is to it.

if you're one of the kids that DOES get acne (myslef included), there ARE some things you can do to reduce the ammount of acne you will get on a normal basis, but NO MATTER what you do, you cannot eliminate it all =\

from what i've experianced, it kinda goes in phases... one week you might be thinking, "oh hell, wtf did i do wrong?!?!!??" answer: prolly nothing, that's just the way it is. the next week you could have perfectly clear skin. you might even slack a bit on washing and you'll still be fine. you might even start thinking, "HAH! i've beeten thee, demon! fah'q ACNE!" but bby that time, you'll prolly just break out within the next few days. lol

again, this is all my experiance. i've found that magic "Jessica Simpson medicine" a.k.a. Pro-active to be insanely useful! on the other hand, my friend claims it made him break out more... everyone's unique... it sucks. i've also found that those oxy-clean etc. w/e the f!#k they're called dont work for me. i guess my skin's not all that oily, cuz it just dries my skin out, which, according to "acne specialists" (w/e the f@!k that is) dry skin leads to more break-outs.

umm... so yeah, i dont know where this is leading, but atm im 18, had a real big problem w/ it arround 15-16, nothing much before that, but arround 16-17 i found pro-active which deffinately made a noticeable difference w/ my complection

lol, now that i've written my whole life story, hope it helps =P

EDIT: oh, one more thing... if/when you get acne, DONT MESS W/ IT!!! dont touch, squeeze, pick at, or even THINK about it unless you find it ABSOLUTELY necessary! honestly, i do think dwelling on the fact that you may have some spot on your face might not only make you feel selfconcious, but also make it worse -- dont ask for any proof, lol, as if i could give any

just say "[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] it!" and move on w/ other things.
it's not your fault if ya got it
there's really nothing phisicly that you can/cant do to make it "go away"
you're just like 1,000,000s of other people
dont let it get to you

I used to have some (and on bad days, quite a few) in certain areas, and it took it a few years to go on its own. I'm 19.5 years-old now, and I haven't had any (almost) since I was about 18. I still get the occasional little bastard, or three (that's a real invasion of the zits from Mars), but nothing more, ever. Tfoo tfoo tfoo.

About the tooth-paste - yes it does kill and dry the place... but it also causes mild burns. Meaning, the area around would be all red and achy.
