Getting older
As years went by, the white patches of skin got worse and Mariah was being teased about it at elementary school. It got so bad that she came home crying and her parents were so upset to see this happening to their daughter. She was so filled with confidence and now it was destroyed.
In her mind, Mariah hated that she could no longer fit in with the other kids and needed the teasing to stop. The vitiligo had not spread to her face completely yet, but there were some small spots visible. She came up with a plan to hide it forever and be done with it.
