She was called an ugly child, but she managed to get back on her feet

This girl's name is Lizzie Velasquez, she was born in 1989 with a very rare disease.

She did not look like all the children in the maternity ward and the doctors diagnosed her with Marian syndrome, this is a very rare disease in the field of genetics, when the body does not accumulate fat and the weight remains almost the same.

Because of this disease, Lizzie aged very early and became blind in one eye.

They began to bully her since kindergarten, and they constantly told her that she was ugly and not beautiful.

“Then I didn’t understand that I didn’t look like everyone else, I thought that everyone was the same as me, and I considered this the norm”

— she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

Public bullying

The most terrible incident happened when the girl was 16, she accidentally came across a video on YouTube with the caption “The ugliest woman in the world,” where she saw photographs of herself. This was done by some unscrupulous man who did not want to understand that she was sick.

It literally broke her heart...

Lizzie says her world came crashing down when she saw the video. She read all the comments and did not find a single word in her defense.

It sounds crazy that thousands of people can sit at their computers and badmouth a 16-year-old girl suffering from a serious illness. How can these people sleep peacefully at night?

Strongest of all haters

For most people, all this hatred would be unbearable. But Lizzie isn't most people. She showed all her haters how strong she is.

Today she is 28 years old and a successful businessman. She travels around the world, giving lectures about her illness and talking about her life. She has her own YouTube channel with over 700,000 subscribers and uses it to fight bullying.

"It is my goal. This is what I will have to do for the rest of my life. I like to think that I am telling not only my story, but the story of everyone like me.”

— Lizzie said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

All the bullies and haters who spoke badly about Lizzie could not keep her.

Lizzie has shown that she is stronger than them, and today she is much more successful than ever.

She wrote a best-selling book about her life, graduated from university, has a family and a successful career.
