Treat your acne now! Seriously. If you don't you're increasing your chances of having acne scars later on in life. Acne scars are life's reminder of how crappy your skin was during your youth. Getting acne under control before it gets to the severe stage will lower your risk of scarring.
It's very expensive to have acne scars removed. The methods range from creams and chemical treatments to laser scar removal. All of them are much more expensive than dealing with your acne right now. Changing your diet to be based around fruit and vegetables, and drinking more water will help you clear your skin now. After your diet has improved (and your skin has started improving) move into an over-the-counter acne treatment that will clear your skin from the outside. Stopping acne in its mild stage will help you leave pimples in your teenage years.
Also, avoid popping pimples. When you push on your skin you are damaging the tissue beneath the surface. This damaged tissue increases the likelihood of your acne creating scars. Either let pimples run their course, or treat them with a topical cream. If you must pop a pimple be sure to sanitize it after it pops and wash your face. When popping, do your best to push sideways, rather than down, to get the goo out of there. It's certainly not as effective, but it lowers the risk of tissue damage.
I need to stress the importance again of treating your acne right away. Take care of it now and enjoy clear skin going into adulthood, or have scars that haunt you for the rest of your life.
