Strange, since I know a girl my age who eats more junk food than me (not excessively much, I suppose - she's not overweight or anything) but has clearer skin than I have. Then again, she might shower more often than I do.

I used to have moderate acne on my face throughout puberty. Absolutely nothing I did got rid of 'em. I continued to have them well past HS, until I stopped washing my face.
When I was a teenager, I was always using some facial wash, soap in the shower, or those Oxy pad things. In hindsight, it seems like all those cleansers were actually making the problem worse. Now all I do is scrub my face in the shower with a washcloth, and that pretty much takes care of things.
Now, though, I still get 'em on my shoulders, back, and chest, and nothing I've tried helps much, although cutting back on the use of soap (going to the washcloth scrubbing) seems to have reduced their numbers.

I have heard the story that semen can actually help cure stuff like that. Heard it from a friend who knew a guy who did it and wasn't BS'ing me.

So he regularly sprayed himself in the face?

Sounds like the cure being worse than the disease.

Chocolate, that will give you zits.
Diet does not cause acne. Common myth.

No, but Chocolate does cause zits, zits and acne aren't exactly the same( severity wise I guess).
