A courageous 22-year-old has spoken out over the years of sick bullying
he has faced as a result of a facial birthamrk. Rory McGuire has a
'venous malformation' on his upper lip and has had to undergo 15
operations in just five years.
Now he wants to highlight the endless abuse he has endured to help stamp out prejudice. He admitted that he thought dying on the operating table would end his anguish, reports Daily Record .
He said:
“People call me names, people are wary of me and some people find my appearance frightening.
“I have had around 15 operations to reduce the size of the birthmark and I need an indefinite amount more before I will feel comfortable enough to do certain things.
“When I found out about the first operation, I was happy but I also thought that if I died during it, all of the mental pain I’ve had to endure would be over.
“Thankfully I no longer think this way – I just want to be happy.”
