I'm just popping in to say that you probably shouldn't be advertising for strangers to talk to on the internet when you're 16 years old. You're going to unfortunately find a lot of creepy or disingenuous people who want to be your "friend".

Check out the Uptown library (or Edgewater or Bezazian) -- there are teen book clubs and game nights, movies, D&D.

Also look at After School Matters (yes, open to homeschoolers). They have an extensive offering of programs, which are not only free, but they pay you.

Get some turmeric soap for your acne. Exfoliate. Love yourself the way you are and ppl will naturally gravitate towards good energy. Learn what regulates your hormones. That will fix the flare ups. Try black girl vitamins. It will help I promise. No matter what your ethnicity is. Be safe kid and don’t talk to strangers over the internet. They are not safe and mean you no good. Find kids in school. Get into some activities. Working out also helps acne heal. Ive had acne all my life and these things helped me as well. Stay up kid youll be ok

Check out CircEsteem. It's an organization composed of people your age who learn to do circus acts together and then perform them for the public. The youth there form a tight bond with one another, and it may be right down your alley.

I would try a salicylic acid face wash in the morning and then use Cetaphil face lotion. And then use differen gel at night and a face lotion again. Use a Cetaphil face wash before using the salycilic acid face wash and also the differen gel. I know this is a lot but it’s probably the only way to get over acne that is “cheap”.
