Hi nevergiveup8, I'm in a similar situation in that I sometimes isolate myself from people and other opportunities due to my acne. I don't know too much about how to fix acne though or if this is mostly a hormonal problem for you (due to the birth control)? Anyway, are you taking any steps now to clear up the acne? If so, what exactly? One important thing I remember hearing from somewhere is sleep & making sure you use some kind of treatment before you sleep but also lotion to prevent excessively oily skin that results from dry skin.
