Angela is diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis. This condition causes her to have a nonsymmetrical face and prosthetic eye.
In middle school other children called her a “monster.” At the time this caused her great anguish but a decade later Angela has realized that the most beautiful thing a person can be is positive.

You are beautiful, you relate really easily and well. Only a very insecure person would say anything negative about you and your lovely spirit. Don't let little people bring you down. You have a lot to offer.

Angela’s voice and cadence are so soothing and peaceful! The way she speaks about even such heart wrenching things is so composed and poised and wise. Angela is gorgeous and stunning but even if she didn’t happen to be so pretty and charming, she still wouldn’t have deserved the treatment she got from bullies and classmates. Hearing her story from such a smart and charismatic woman makes my heart break even more to think of how people who have even more pronounced disabilities are treated. If kids can say things like that to a well spoken and sweet girl, I can’t even imagine what pictures they’d have drawn of someone substantially disfigured or impaired. How awful for Angela and for everyone else enduring this.

Angela, you are beautiful! I mean it! Edit: seriously, and I watched the whole video and I honestly don’t even notice anything different about you, and I mean that in a very positive and truthful way. We can judge ourselves so harshly, but I’m telling you, you are stunning and intelligent and I’m taking your advice when I look in the mirror and saying to myself, I am beautiful, I am confident, I got this! ❤️

It was sad to hear what she went through with classmates. I believe kids are mean because they are hiding issues that they have and the way they were bought up. I look at her and see a beautiful young women with a great personality. Keep up your positive outlook on life. You are loved, you are pretty, you have a voice to educate us all. 😘

Angela what you are dealing with is advanced mentality. You are way above others your age and you grew up being that way. They compensated by the only method they were capable of. Precious; your advanced mentality kept you from being trapped by your condition. Everyone alive has dealt with insecurities, most grow and move on and forgive others of theirs. You are drop dead gorgeous and articulate.

I have Neurofibromatois (NF1). I lost my left leg at age 3. My left hip and residual limb is very large. About twice the size of my right. I experienced the same with a romantic relationship. That boys would only be interested in me out of pity, or that I would be an easy lay. I have always hated my body. Clothes don't fit well because of my misporptioned body. I only WISH, I could be like everyone else. People who have actually gotten to KNOW me, no longer see my differences.

Hi. I also have a NF1 but mine seems to be a very mild case of NF1. I have around 15 - 20 very small tumours on different parts of my body almost Un-noticeable. When I were about 6 or 7, I had water on the brain something like hydrocephalus & almost died, the doctors had to put shunt into my head & brain to drain the fluid to save my life. I still have the bent into back of my head, where it feels like there's a bit of my skull missing, but it's Un-noticeable now, because of my hair. I'm sorry to hear that your leg. 😢
