There are some people who tan by just sitting outside for an hour. Some people never need to touch sun screen a day in their life. Some people just have the perfect skin tone that will never burn, peel, or crack. Lucky them, am I right?

If you get sunburnt frequently, then your life during the summer is probably just a little bit more of a struggle than other peoples. You feel the pain, literally and figuratively, every single time the sun comes out.

If you're one of these people, these 15 truths of being prone to sunburn will accurately describe your summer struggles:

1. You never go anywhere without your sunscreen.

2. You can literally feel yourself burning as soon as you step into the sun.

3. You've experienced 1st and maybe even 2nd-degree sunburns in your life so far.

4. If you forget sunscreen, you're out of luck unless miraculously you're with someone else who burns too.

5. You're the mom friend when it comes to sunscreen, and encourage your friends to wear it often.

6. You've learned from experience that you must rub sunscreen in to avoid strange burns.

7. You've definitely heard someone say, 'You should really get that checked out,' in reference to your peeling sunburn.

8. Some days you lather up your sunscreen and it's still not enough to save you.

9. You know how awful it is to shower or even do simple tasks after you get a sunburn.

10. You don't tan, you get slightly less pale.

11. You're sick of how expensive sunscreen is because you have to buy at least 3 bottles every beach trip.

12. You can't go swimming by yourself because someone has to get your back for you.

13. Lol, and tanning oil? In your dreams.

14. You're at a much higher risk of getting skin cancer and it's a tad frightening.

15. No matter how prone you are to getting sunburnt, you still try to go without sunscreen once each summer in hopes of getting some color.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese.
