NO and YES.
NO, chocolate won't cause zits no matter what other people tell you. Pimple problems are usually hormon- and stress- related. Chocolate won't cause pimples.
YES, chocolate will cause obesity if you consume a lot of it.
Chocolate is actually a pretty good snack if you can control yourself. Milk chocolate has more calorie than dark chocolate so you might want to be careful on this. On the other hand, the sweet dark chocolate will probably have more calorie if it is loaded with sugar. Go for semi sweet dark chocolate. Or check the label of calorie content and make your own wise choice.
Milk chocolate has less chocolate content and the antioxidant and other chemical substance that contributes to the goodness of chocolate, but higher milk content could contribute to your calcium intake.
Dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate as it has more cocoa compound (this is where the good chemical substance comes from). Consuming dark chocolate will increase the serotonin level in your body (the chemical substance that is produced when you sleep to let you feel relaxed).
Consuming a piece of chocolate (especially dark choc with fruits and nuts) is good to boost your energy level when you feel tired (sugar boost) and also when you are feeling down.
Control your intake. No matter how good chocolate is (other food as well) consuming too much is always bad. Moderation is the key. Excess calorie intake will make you fat and you will probably end up being an obese.

I too have heard of that. But I dont have any experience. But I have seen that whenever I am down or whenever I feel that my sugar level have gone down, I really take a bite of choclate and I have felt better.
But I have seen kids getting obese by eating lots of choclate (and no exercise)
