Bad Days? Ugh....?!
Question: Bad Days!? Ugh!.!.!.!.!?
Okay let me start off with explaining my situation!. I am 14!. I have vitiligo!. I am Spanish skin color!. (About the same as Avatar)!. The vitiligo is on my hands, corners of my mouth, 1 around each eye, under my chin but not on my neck, on my legs but i wear jeans so its not noticeable there!.(Except Gym Class)!. I turned 14 a few months ago and lately i have started getting very interested in the concept of dating!. I wear stain for my vitiligo, but you can still see it (but with stain it is better) and i wear some makeup around the corners of my mouth (i am most conscious of this area) Everyday i go to school and about 86% of the time i have a Bad Day!. I hate how i look so i am constantly depressed and Lonely sitting on the comp or in my room!. I dont have that many close friends (I moved from AZ to NY 2 years ago and left my friends behind!. The friends i do have i dont hang out with after school!. On good days i feel great but sadly they are very rare!.

You're going through a rough patch!. I have curly hair, for example, which drives me insane, and I have to straighten it just to get it to look decent!. Hang around your friends more and you will enjoy their company, even after school if you can!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Get invloved in your local community, volunteering is a great way to make new friends and help out at the same time, you'll feel good about yourself, by being a good samaritan and have fun meeting new people!.!.!.

I grew up with a birth defect that caused my right eye to be severely deformed, so I can defiantly see where you're coming from!.
I too went through a personal hell growing up - I was always self conscious about my appearance so I never made many friends (on of the reasons I ended up working in the computer field ;-) )!.
The biggest thing that helped me out was to focus on the qualities of myself that I liked and my strengths!. If you are feeling stuck, there is no shame in seeking therapy!. I'll admit that I needed it!.
In the end it has paid off!. By learning to accept myself, it has made me receptive of other people's acceptance - acceptance that I didn't even notice before!.
Once you get past the crap of High School, yes you will encounter the occasional jerk, but just remember that if someone has a problem with they way you look it's THEIR problem NOT yours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
