I’m telling you right now school can literally ruin a person’s life

“You’re not ugly, the world is ugly.”
-
If I ever caught my kid bullying someone like that, he'd ever so quickly regret it!
-
It's a shame that, for whatever reason, the mom didn't have the girls formally diagnosed and under medical supervision YEARS ago (like at the first sign of the condition in childhood), given that she KNOWS there are serious health consequences.
-
I looked her up. She's 25 now and is engaged. I wish her all the best.
-
Nobody can blame this young girl for wanting to go out and live a young person's life. Bless her, I wish her all the best.
-
You mean to tell me that after her older children clearly had the illness, the mother still decided to have more kids? Yet she says she didn't know it could be passed on? I feel so bad for the kids.
-
The mother argues that she didnt know the genes could be passed on to her children. But she has a 23 year old daughter and a 16 year old daughter with the same condition.
-
Sometimes people forget how healthy and lucky they really are.
-
Man I feel so bad for the two girls with the condition. They're of course beautiful but to have two normal and conventionally gorgeous sisters must hurt so much. Fuckk
-
Her family was so close and supportive of one another in the beginning. I hope they have moved forward and are now on speaking terms. They had a lovely family bond.
-
I'm a father of a 15 year old daughter, and it made my eyes well up to see her smile and be so happy with her new look. Being a teen is hard enough when you look normal and kids are certainly resilient, but that's still an impressionable time in their life and just dealing with hormones and learning how to cope with your emotions doesn't need to be any harder than it already is. Teen girls are hard enough on their appearance when nothing is wrong, let alone something like this.

-
That dr was kind to offer the surgery for free. He saw her problems with self esteem and knows her money problems, and for loss of his pocket, offered to help. Many wouldn't do that 👍
-
This poor child, she deserves all the help and transformations required, so happy for her
-
“My lungs are gettin’ worse” I think that’s from the smoking ngl
-
But can we appreciate the doctor for actually making such a expensive surgery practically for free, because they couldn't afford it but he wanted to help?
-
The mother feels bad for giving this condition to her daughter but then goes on to have 3 other daughters over 7 years, I'm genuinely perplexed
-
Zara needed mental health counseling to help her cope better with her feelings of fear, loneliness and abandonment.
-
Tracy, the mom, and Zara seem to have remarkable insight into their reasons for wanting to avoid learning about the dangers to their health. Having had those same fears, I feel the utmost sympathy for them. How sad that the family has ruptured. But what brave women. I, like other commentors, hope for the best for the three women affected by their genetic condition.
