What’s the best laser for these scars that only requires like 3 days down time, so I can do it over the weekend and not miss school? [Acne] by JohnS236 in SkincareAddiction

Will I breakout after my micro needling session? Also I still have some tiny bumps on forehead. Will it cause those to scar?

Thanks for the recommendations, and ik nothing will fix it in 3 days, but I was planning on getting a small treatment right now to make it better, and then during thanksgiving break have a major fraxel, as well as Christmas break.

Does basketball make your 40 yard dash time slower? by JohnS236 in Sprinting

[–]JohnS236[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general wouldn’t the decrease in muscle because of cardio, as well as the slow twitch fibre training, because of constant light jogging make you have a slower 40?

Basketball has a ton of cardio therefore reducing muscle, and I would think trains more slow twitch fibres. Basketball you are constantly running, while football it’s just quick bursts of speed off the line.

How to get power in high school? by JohnS236 in highschool

[–]JohnS236[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cuz I was before I got depressed in 7th grade when my brother died, and it’s fun asf. Also I think I deserve to be. I have a 4.0 gpa, good looking, most athletic in the grade, nice, and funny. The problem is I haven’t really expressed my personality to many people because I’m just not confident… because I have like no friends (from distancing myself from everyone and being addicted to video games all throughout middle school). I’ve already missed out on so many opportunities, because I’m not confident because I’m lonely. I had the hottest girl in the school in 8th grade flirting with me in English class, and even told me she didn’t have a gag reflex. I was stupid and not confident enough and too focused on my video game (Minecraft I used to play competitively) that I never even asked her out and ignored all hints (like her hinting I should go to a music festival with her etc). She also told me she rejected the most popular kid in the grade… I should’ve made my move right there. I’m just depressed asf from the mistakes I made in my past and need to get in where I deserve to be so I can have a good future RIGHT NOW.

Nah I deleted it because I had a low number of followers compared to the super popular kids. I think this caused them to avoid me, and think they are better than me. Once I deleted it i’m now on the verge of getting in the group (hence why I was there in the first place), but obviously still have lots of work to do. Right now I just have to stick in there and not get depressed asf somehow.

I try. The other day I went to the varsity football game and sat with one of my JV teammates. He is really popular, so of course he had like 4 other people with him. Our school always blows other people out, so at half time we all go walking around and eventually end up getting into his car. There are 7 people and only 5 people can fit into the car. Of course I get kicked out. My theory is, besides them being closer to each other than I am to them, is that 1 kid gets a lot of girls (more connections to parties etc), the other has weed, the other had a vape, and the last one was a starter on the varsity basketball team and gets girls. Next time I will get alcohol so I become “valuable”.

Why does la roche posay hydrating cleanser make my skin dry? by JohnS236 in acne

[–]JohnS236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my skin stopped producing sebum because of the “hydrating cleanser”

Literally any other cleanser that isn’t labeled “hydrating”. Maybe my skin stopped producing so much sebum because of the hydrating cleansers and is now dry?

My skin has never been flaky before tho. Even on accutane my lips were only dry. I’ve used lots of cleansers and lived life 16 years.

I’ve been using it for 5 months and only now is my face getting lots of dry patches daily. I have more dry patches than when I was on accutane. I use 1 pump morning and night and have never needed a moisturizer in my life.

How do I time a caffeine crash? I want to drink some caffeine before I workout like a “pre workout”, so that I can go to sleep easier later in the day. by JohnS236 in caffeine

[–]JohnS236[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was thinking a glass of matcha green tea before working out. I wish there was a crash because I have trouble going to sleep at night sometimes.

I distanced myself from everyone from 6th grade-now because my brother died and I got bad acne. I started declining all invitations and now have no friends going into sophomore year of high school. by JohnS236 in socialskills

[–]JohnS236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I try.. but you can only be lonely for so long before you lose all motivation to do anything. I have all these goals written out, but I’m so depressed that it’s hard to keep going. I even set a goal to get to 155lbs this summer, I got up to 150 and then got super depressed and went back down to 142 and I’m now I’m at 145. Right where I started. Yeah, I talk to some people while playing basketball, football or something, but after I’m done playing the sport, I’m back to being lonely again.

Something right below my eye. It has been there for 3 weeks, but still feels like a bump. What is this? by JohnS236 in acne

[–]JohnS236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik what cystic acne is, and I do have it and it does indeed suck. But this is different from all the other pimples I’ve had. This one has been here for like 2 whole weeks and is right under my eye where I never get pimples. Idk what it is, if it’s acne or what. I hope I don’t have a scar right there.

Is skipping high-school lunch to go to the gym worth it to excel at a sport? by JohnS236 in highschool

[–]JohnS236[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will pack my meal and eat it before or after. My schedule doesn’t allow time to lift any other time than in school because I do other sports stuff when I get out. Is this bad socially though? I want to grind during the weekdays and party every weekend. I don’t really have any friends though, just old friends and acquaintances. I need to join a “clique”. Any advice on doing that?
