"Zara is not quite a full fledge teen yet, but she looks older than her 21 year old and 16 year old siblings. She also looks older than most of her friends grandparents. Zara suffers from lipodystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes the supporting fatty tissue under the skin to crumble while the skin continues to grow. Zaras condition, Congenital Generalized Lipodistrophy, is extremely rare, only about 2,000 people in the entire world have been diagnosed. It is also associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, a high triglyceride level and fatty liver. The loss of subcutaneous fatty tissues happens at different rates Zaras entire family suffers from the disease but her symptoms are far more serious than her older siblings. Zara looked like a grown up by the time she was ten. Now she struggles to convince bus drivers that she deserves the youth rate, not the senior discount. "

  • i hate... humans

  • Can't we just dump these bullies in the oean? lol

  • i don't understand bullying. it has been so bad the last few years. it makes me sad. this is a pretty young girl. the only negative thing is the people picking on her for no reason.

  • @TheSydLOLZ i concur. stay based, stay beautiful people!

  • She will still always be a beautiful girl :)

  • I love her sisters!! They are so sweet and loving to her! ^^ xxx

  • @bliglum Well, the mother herself said she's sorry for having that child.

    And the way genetics work you probably can't determine the exact outcome in the genepool of the child.

  • @imaflareonbitch dude u gots probs she's beautiful it her own ways quit buggin people stupid

  • Can't somebody help this child? A plastic surgeon perhaps?
