Can Acne Affect Your Social Life? |

|
You know how when you're a kid and your mom and dad always told
you that its not what's on the outside that matters, its what's
on the inside? Well in my opinion that is far from being the
whole truth and closer to being a half-truth...if not almost
false.
Acne has played a significant role in my teenage life (not so
much in my twenties). Now you know deep down inside that they
way you look affects how people react to you and act towards
you. This is not only true in purely social situations, but also

high school. And those who have been in high school recently, or
are currently in high school, know that this is the best place
to find out what people REALLY think about you. They are
brutally honest and sometimes downright mean.
Well my experiment consisted of buying a few long sleeved
shirts. I would wear these shirts, and talk casually with people
of the opposite sex...with some seeming quite interested in me.
Then one day I would approach these same women, except this time
I would be wearing a short sleeved shirt, revealing my acne
filled arms. Now if what really mattered was what was on the
inside, then this shouldn't have been a problem...
