The issue of pimples




"I am getting a pimple on my forehead and it is getting bigger and bigger. Would that go away by tomorrow?"
"Well, by tomorrow, it may get bigger, stays the same or with some luck might decrease in size."
"That's not helping!"
"I don’t think that any serious emotional support is needed here; after all it is one tiny pimple."
"It's not tiny. See it's big, really big."
"I can’t really see it. Where is it?"
"See, its right here. It's on a part of my face, called the "forehead"."
"Where?"
"Get your glasses."
"Ohhh, that one."
"You're not taking me seriously! A pimple is a huge problem! Hellooo? Have you ever gotten pimples yourself?"
"I have had my fair share of pimples. I probably got hundreds of them during my pubescent years. I was like a "pimple farm", a fresh crop emerging every week. I remember getting a big one on the tip of my nose close to my 18th birthday."
"Eww...What did you do?"
"Well, I would ignore the smaller ones but the big ones: these would require some drastic measures."
"What "drastic measures"?"
"You know mostly sophisticated techniques such as wrenching or gouging or a combination of these two. I got mixed results."
"Yeah sure... Did you make all that up?"
"No. Well, may be I exaggerated about the size of them."
"You are not helping. Am I going to develop more pimples?"
"It runs in families? Your mom still gets a lot of them. Doesn’t she? You must have acquired the “pimple genes” from both parents."
"That is scary!"
"You would stop worrying about that one pimple, once you have more."
"How could I go to school with a face studded with pimples?"
"That does not sound like a valid reason to quit school."
"You don't know what it's like to have a pimple when you're a girl."
"What does this have anything to do with being a girl?"
"Pimples are important to girls. They leave both physical and emotional scars."
"I understand that. All I am trying to say is that life is bigger than a pimple on the forehead."

A zit is not a girl's best friend. Can very well relate to that!
