How can I get rid of my acne ASAP?

My acne had gotten so bad! It all started in 4th grade with a giant pimple on my forehead. Then in 5th grade, it increased! It filled up my whole forehead and I even started getting a lot on my neck. I became very insecure and shy from then on. I couldn't look into someone's eye and talk. I'd always hide my face and neck. In middle school, it kinda cleared up. My neck was cleared and I had a few on my forehead and I'd get pimples from random places on my cheeks and nose. In 8th grade, it got a little better. Now I'm in 9th grade. It got worst! I have acne scars everywhere and acne everywhere and I tried all sorts of cleansers and nothing works! I have pictures provided and i'm WARNING you! It's disgusting.

In the summer, I thought "Finally, it's clearing up!" then BOOM! I started getting acne again. Please help me! I've lost so many opportunities because of my insecurities with my acne :( I want my acne and scars to go away ASAP! What can I do?

    No. DON'T use Proactive. It dries the skin up badly. But just make sure you wash with a mild soap a few times a day. That's basically all there is to do. Unfortunately, there is no magic remedy that clears up acne. =/

    See if any foods in your diet trigger you to produce more acne. Wash your skin regularly. For me tea tree oil (they have this at the body shop) works great as a spot treatment. Make-up could have something to do with it as well. Either don't wear make up for a little bit and see if it helps or switch to a oil free brand. The pictures don't work but if it's as bad as you say it is and nothing is helping a dermatologist might be your only option.
