"You Look Disgusting"

A story on how ed up society is.
~~~~~~~~~~~

     No matter what I do, society is always there to judge me. There's no way of escape. Ever. I considered myself beautiful once; that was when I was six. By the age of fifteen, I had broke out in horrible acne. I didn't understand why. I never wore make up; I had always cleaned my face; I even wore sunscreen to protect my skin. I just didn't get it. I started to become insecure about myself after that. By the time I reached high school, I wore make-up to cover up my flaws.

     "You're so beautiful!"

     "You look amazing!"

     "You're gorgeous"

     I was happy. I was overjoyed. I felted beautiful. I thought they loved me.. But then, this all changed. I had decided to post a picture of myself without make-up onto my instagram page. I mean, this wouldn't hurt right? They all love me, they'll love me even if I have acne. But, I was wrong.

     "You're so ugly!"

     "What is wrong with your face?"

     "How do you even live with yourself?"

     "You look disgusting."

     All my thoughts quickly disappeared as I couldn't believe all the hate comments I was receiving. The people who once called me beautiful, were now calling me ugly. I became more insecure about myself. I didn't want to leave my house. I hated my skin..I wanted to rip it all off. I went back to putting on make-up. And now..

     "This is false-advertising!"

     "Imagine waking up next to her in bed."

     "Take her swimming for your first date!"

     "That is too much make-up. Disgusting."

     "Trust no with make-up"

     "I would hate to kiss her. I'd end up powdering my own face."

     I felt my tears blurred my vision as I could not believe the hate comments that seemed to never end. It just kept coming, and coming, and coming. What do they want me to do? I put on make up, I get hate. I don't wear make up, I get hate. It's like wherever I turn, I still can not get the haters off of my back. Well, what did I expect? This is society after all. The people living in it will always find a way to put you down no matter what. You can never satisfy anyone without being criticized.

A/N: Inspired from a video I saw last night about suffering from acne. I decided to turn that video into a short-story. I find it absolutely rude and horrible how people always judge by the looks. People never think of what they are going to say before they say it, and that is what angers me the most. To those who had, or currently is suffering from acne, I just want you to know that you are beautiful. And you shouldn't let anyone define who you are. The video will be down below.
