Help me save my own life?
I have become just down right pathetic.
Right now I am 17, I have terrible grades going into senior year (F's, wont be graduating with my class unless I take a course outside highschool) I have very few friends and they really dont like me much. I sit at home and play a game Age of Conan all day every day. My life came to this more and more since my freshman year every day and now here I am. I am so afriad of people looking at me I am always so paranoid over my acne. I am absoulutly paranoid about it.
Well I know this is going to sound vain but this is all because of my acne. I feel embarrassed to go outside, I never want to leave the house, I am so depressed over my acne. I never look people in the eye when I am talking to them and I just admit I am an overall boring person and I feel terrible 24/7. I feel like there is no point to school and I never want to do anything. I smoke weed because it really is all I have other then video games and my cat...
This is about 95% of the time. When my acne is clear, which it is once in a blue moon...I go out, I am fun, entertaining, I have motivation for school and do my work and study, I dont feel I need weed at all...I just feel great, and I am great, people seem to notice, girls approuch me like crazy..I just am on top of everything
I know acne is my problem, please don't detour it from that...its destroying my life.
I am not an ugly person (I am actually pretty attractive I guess...) but the acne makes me feel ugly. What I get is moderate pimples, and then sometime I get HUGE ones like craters and thats when I go to my all time lows. I just try basic acne store bought kits and they dont seem to do much at all. I drink only water, I am 130 pounds and 5'7 I eat 2 meals a day, just sandwitches, then some light dinner, usually pasta.
If I don't fix this problem now I will keep going down this path and only god knows what will become of me, I dont want to be like this forever. I've read up on this site and it seems some people may be able to help. My parents dont have the money for any kind of too expensive medical treatment. I also cant get a job because of my serious just problems with my acne/social issues.

acne shouldn’t be a problem for any one, i suggest you buy some pro-active, it really works i swear, you should try it, pro-active isn’t expensive at all so that shouldn’t be a problem, i think it’s about 20 dollars or try toothpaste, leave it on for about 10 minutes and wash it off.. i hope you will soon feel better about yourself

So you’re becoming a loser nobody because of acne?
Dam…oh dam…girl you need one heck of a slap in the face and a HUGE reality check and possibly counseling, if your mind is so effed up to think red dots on your face is going to ruin your life.
You seem to be a positive person who dug yourself into a hole on purpose. I DOUBT acne is the cause of your Fs. YOU are the cause of YOUR Fs. Smoking pot and giving up hope could be factors as to why you cause yourself to get Fs, but putting the blame on red dots is not going to solve ANYTHING.
Only you can change yourself. Strangers can’t. I can’t. Yahoo Answers can’t.
You dug yourself into a hole yourself, so your going to build a ladder and climb yourself out of that hole. So you may need to take outside courses. You may need counseling. But whether or not you are going to become something and do something with your life is YOUR choice, and you’re running out of time to figure that out.

Even if your parents don’t have the money to treat this, you need to let them know it’s a serious problem and you need help. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist, at least once. They may try a Retin-A cream with antibiotic cream or various other creams.
You have to try different meds and creams because what may work for one person may not work for others. I had lighter blemishes so Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 worked wonders on me. You can also try face washes that contain salicylic acid. And aside from potions and creams try different mild cleansers and moisturizers. I have to recommend the body shop for moisturizers, they give you tons of free samples to try out.
For a pricier treatment give Proactiv a try, for my sister it worked at first then quit. She swears by a product called Murad.
Good luck.
