When I was a young girl I just saw sadness
0:03
Now at 18 I just feel bad **** in the mirror. Meditation affects the skin, the teeth, ears and a lot of things
0:15
I think a lot of people judge me because of my disability. They don't like the way I look
0:21
How do you feel about going out in public without a wig? It just clips on like this
0:27
Watch. like that. You just need a moment to turn up. I'm 18 and I've got a condition known as hair loss syndrome. It affects the skin, the teeth
0:45
our ears, the respiratory system and a lot of things. It affects the hair. I've had roughly
0:57
about 10 surgeries. I've had one for my hearing aid, one for my cleft palate and one because
1:07
my teeth taken out, clothes that I had about 10 days between
1:12
He just likes to be the centre of attention Hannah was born four weeks early We thought she had Down syndrome but they told us that Hannah got Haywell syndrome
1:25
She'd be in hospital a lot. I just thought she'd never get to 18
1:31
because of what she'd been through. Well, the second year of high school
1:35
that's when I all kicked off. I was bullying and I didn't think of another. When you go into high school
1:40
people start seeing these flaws, Like people start to pick out skin colour, hair colour, disability
1:50
That's when they start nitpicking at you. They were just making fun out of my lips, the way I looked, my eyes
1:58
I thought it got to the stage where I pulled her out of school for a mum. Yeah, I think a lot of people chose me because of my disability
2:06
You get like the little kids what stare. You get the evil look where you're going to shock
2:13
I used to check it out on people because I didn't like the way I looked
2:19
But now I'm okay with the way I look because I believe in self-love
2:27
If somebody just stares at me, I'll wave at them. I'll just say hello to them now
2:35
Now she 18 she a young lady and she do well out of life now and shall beat those bullies This is my favourite wig It human hair I dyed it myself
2:48
It's pink. My first ever wig, I remember it. I wanted it like as Hannah Montana
2:54
How do you feel about going out in public without a wig? I just feel like a little bit shy
3:00
because today you've got people who are really nasty. Are we going to go to the cafe now
3:08
Yeah, I might take a cafe on my wigs. It just depends how I feel, so come on
3:30
When I went to high school, I used to get made fun out of wearing a wig
3:34
Sometimes when I feel like really self-conscious of well-made wigs to have like methods
3:48
How did you go for the cafe then? I was a bit shy about the deepest half of my wigs
4:24
I think what message and product say is love everybody for the way they are. Even if you are missing a leg, missing hair, you should be loved by anybody and everybody in this world
4:41
Beauty is what's on the inside. Beauty has no standard. I think this condition has made me to be stronger
4:53
When I was a young girl I just saw sadness. But now at 18 I just see a bad **** in the mirror
