Should I Go to a Dermatologist for My Acne?
Question by Jones :): Should I go to a dermatologist for my acne?
I have been struggling with acne for almost 4 years. I am a teenager, so I know that contributes, but I’m sick and tired of it. I’ve used a bunch of different kinds of home treatments and I never have good skin. It makes me feel absolutely horrible about myself. It isn’t all over my face, but small pimples on both my jawlines, chin, forehead, and nose. Occassionally I get cystic looking zigs on my chin and nose. I just want clearer skin. So what do you suggest? Should I see a dermatologist? What would they do? And what is the general cost? Thank you so much for reading this, I want a awesome junior year not feeling self concious about my skin.

Underage Drinking Ticket Question?
Question by necifix: Underage drinking ticket question?
So,
I went to a party last night and had some vodka to loosen up a bit. After awhile, someone named Nick literally forced the bottle in my mouth when I wasn’t expecting it and I got pretty drunk. We left the party and on the way home I was puking a lot and my sober driver was going 6 MPH over the speed limit and got pulled over. They saw me back there, I blew a .107, I got a ticket. I ratted out the party because I was so out of it and a bunch of other people got tickets too. I have never committed a crime prior to this and don’t even drink very much. I got pretty unlucky. I don’t need a bunch of people commenting on my decision to drink and imposing their morality on me. I am very distraught over this, the ticket was $ 265.50. How serious does this look on your record and is there anything I can do about it to lessen the sentence? I am 18 years old and live in Wisconsin.
I did drink in the first place but I was seriously forced to drink a lot more than I wanted to. I don’t remember even ratting out my friends, but, I think mostly random people got the tickets and all my friends had left.
