No: This is something that people made up to frighten you. You do need to know that all acne is manageable nowadays. If 5% benzoyl peroxide topically 2x/day doesn't clear you in 2 weeks, get with your physician for prescription-strength rx until it self-cures. When you're enjoying your body, think about something nice -- maybe the girl you'll marry -- rather than internet trash. Embrace who you are.
