Cleft Lip & Palate

My response to someone else's vlog on cleft lip & palate and a picture timelime of my personal evolvement from infancy to adulthood, from having an unrepaired cleft lip & palate to now (12 surgeries later).

I can never find someone with a cleft palate like me. I have my surgery and my nose is fixed but I'm waiting for the finale one. People don't really understand what the hell it is and it gets lonely at times.

@HostageinWonderland I understand... there was actually another girl in my school who had it when I was growing up, but we never talked about it. Looking back, I think it would have helped a lot for the teachers or my mom, or even for myself to have explained my differences to my classmates. Now, as an adult, I realize that the unknown was really what fueled the negative comments. I encourage you to keep going strong, and educate others around you when you can!

I was born with a cleft lip to same area and I'm about to turn14 in November and it's probably THEE worst age to have it to me. I've been called alot of stuff.Name it i've been called it. It makes me mad at first but then i get sad and feel like im sooo different. Its sooooo hard to be at school with it. Well im happy you've become a stronger person though.:)

[TheMseay123]

im a decent looking guy all things considered. but my confidence sucks, because i feel like when a girl sees me she'll reject me...that dosent always happen, but it stays on my mind constantly. i have a bilateral cleft lip. ive been told that i wear it well, but im so conscientious about it. ..are there other guys or girls that feel like me?

@twilight961113 same here. Im about to turn 15 in a week and I have been made fun of and stared at. It made me not feel human and i just get so fucking pissed off about people..
