I guess just feel her out. You're right to not want to contribute to the pressure she's under or magnify the problem. But I guess if you feel like her self esteem is suffering and she comes to you for help, be open to helping her in whatever ways make the most sense ie, medical intervention, makeup. Maybe just a…

You would be surprised. There's already some comments to that effect in the pending replies section, but you get even more of it in real life. A friend of mine has cystic acne and is a master at covering it up, but the shit our friends give her behind her back is astounding. They don't realize that not everyone wants…

I'm sorry that your mother and friend aren't more supportive.

Well, everybody knows that if *they* don't care about something and *you* care about that thing, then you are selfish/vain/self-absorbed. That's how the world works, because it's not about them, it's about...oh. Yeah, it's probably about them.

I had occasional spurts of severe psoriasis on my face during high school, and my parents were super unsympathetic (i.e., no makeup allowed in the house until peanutbutterspoon stops being so worried about what other people think about her looks). They were clearly trying to get me to accept myself as I was and…

Yes! If I could tell you how many times kids would make fun of my face for all the acne I've experienced over the years (didn't help being a camp counselor). I mean, I know kids are cruel- but when your dermatologist nurses say, "you'd be so pretty if you could just get rid of this acne". And you just feel so defined…

I've found that most people are under the assumption that if you have a skin issue: you caused it. Unless it's got a virus, it's your fault. You're not washing yourself enough, or using the right thing to wash with, you're washing wrong, you're washing too much. You must be using the wrong detergent, towels,…

You can be perfectly happy being who you are, but believe me, the continual nasty remarks from the peanut gallery of life can wear you down. And frankly, it's nice to look in the mirror and not see what drives you crazy.

MY PUPPY IS IMMORTAL AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME ANY DIFFERENT.

The characters' un-likability is exactly why this is an accurate and important film - this film captures a perfect picture of a time where so many people were dissatisfied for no reason, which ultimately was a precursor to a current millennial ennui. A sort of dissatisfied generation that does not understand they…

please kill me now and use my savings to bury me in this.

Thank you.

oh, here we go with the ZOMG veganism almost KILLED me/someone I know/my cousin's girlfriend's best friend/etc.

Thank you for summarising an argument that I live by but am too lazy to put forth with such eloquence (:

On the bright side for them, I can totally see some of those children growing up to be vegan monsters who will tell everyone that'll listen about that fateful day they learned what "A Cow's Life" really meant.
