Acne Monster

When I was in the seventh grade, I had many friends and many of classmates wanted to be friends with me. I do not know what charm I had back then, but everything changed when we entered the eighth grade. Things on my face started to appear, and these were pimples and acne. My pimples started to grow and many just keep on appearing until they covered a big portion of my forehead and cheeks. My parents told me it’s just normal to have pimples, same as my friends but I had classmates who were disgusted of it just because they don’t have it on their faces. Then, they called me names like acne monster, walking acne, volcano-faced, fireworks, crater-faced and many other names. It caused so much depression to me. They don’t get near me not unless they need something but when they don’t need anything, I’m invisible. The name-calling stopped when I was in the tenth grade. It was an emotionally depressing experience but I know, some of you underwent more terrible things. Stay strong guys, don’t believe in what they say. Just be yourself and believe in yourself!
