My friend keeps popping my pimples. It's gross. How can I make her stop? She randomly comes up to me and holds my face and BLAH. She didnt seem to understand 'Stop!' I hate going to class with blood smeared on my face.
sizzlinmandolin answered Tuesday September 12 2006, 12:07 am: If she doesn't listen when you tell her to stop you need to fight back. Defend yourself and push her away. Take her hands and throw them away from you with a good amount of force if you have to. What she is doing is not acceptable. She's pretty much assaulting you. Let her know that you're not going to put up with it anymore. Don't go and punch her in the face or anything, but physically stopping her is the best way to stop what she is doing. She has taken it beyond talking and, honestly, talking to her about it will probably just upset her. If you push her away, she'll likely just be really surprised and get the point immediately, keeping the friendship intact. The reason she is doing it is because you let her. Stop letting her. Good luck. [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
laffxitxup answered Monday September 11 2006, 9:38 pm: Tell her to leave your pimples alone! They're part of your body and you have a right to keep it away from malicious pimple poppers. To be a little bit nicer about it. Just ask her to stop and tell her it bothers you and what you said in your question, say it to hre. And if that doesn't work use the pimple popper thing I said. It might cause her to A. Laugh + B. Stop :0) [ laffxitxup's advice column | Ask laffxitxup A Question ]

DearChrissie3737 answered Monday September 11 2006, 5:11 pm: Okay well first of all that's really creepy! Eww.... I would stay away from her as a friend because that is just creepy lol. Anyway now to helping you with your problem. Uhm I would probably just talk to her sternly (yes I know it will be hard but you have to do it or she will never stop), and say that's digusting and I really don't appreciate you popping my pimples at school because it hurts and I look like a bloody creep (you probably don't but just say that :) lol.) When she goes to do it just move away and say stop, really sternly! Oh and did you know popping pimples can cause you to loose brain cells? Personally I don't think so but just add that in so she will feel bad. I hope I helped my friend :).

Anyway! Yelling at her might hurt her feeling, but being stern, and absolutely serious about it may possibly get her to stop.
Next time you see her shout at her and really be stern with her and just tell her you hate it when she pops your pimples or you could some cream and use that to get rid or you pimples.
thelaura answered Monday September 11 2006, 11:19 am: Tell her simply, "no, leave it. I'm more prone to scarring!" and she will think her popping them will do you damage. (Which it could well be doing. Who's to say her hands are clean to be popping your spots?!)
Or you could say it hurts, or say you'd prefer to do it yourself later.
She basically has no right to interfere with cases like this, but she probably thinks she's helping you out!
Best of luck! [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
