Is it just me, or was having acne in high school worse than having AIDS?

Wake up. Your mother is screaming your name. You already snoozed your alarm clock until it said "fuck it" and stopped ringing. You groggily grab your towel and head to the bathroom. Your fuzzy face looks back at you in your misty bathroom mirror. You're pissed cause your more responsible sibling probably just killed all the hot water. You rub the crust out of your eyes, and take a better look at yourself. And there it is. The most hideously red pimple you have ever seen. As if high school wasn't hard enough.

Having acne in high school sucked balls. It ruined popularity. It single-handedly destroyed any chances you had of hooking up. That one zit could ruin an entire semester. At least AIDS didn't pop out of your face and scream for attention. You couldn't pass pimples, but damn they made you look ugly.

So what would happen if you lined up a disease free pimple infested high school male next to an acne free but STD questionable high school male and told her to choose? I don't have a definite answer, but she'd more than likely take her chances with STD guy and a few trojans.

Hey, there's always college.
