Hi

[Guest guest]

Hannah,

I do not have bpes, however my 10month old daughter does. She had temp

slings put in at 3 months. She did have another surgery in January due

to infected tissue and the surgery went well. Her appearance is great

and most people just think that she looks Asian. I don't notice her

being different, but that may be because I am her mother and love her.

I would love to know (if it not to hard to talk about) how bpes is

difficult for those who have it. This would be helpful for me as my

daughter gets older. I want to be understanding and supportive and not

think she is over reacting. Please help me to understand so that I can

educate my family and others around her prior to her being of age to be

affected emotionally. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Hannah. I'm Margot from New Jersey. I'm ten years old. Sorry about the short

sentences. Anyway, I only met one girl with our disease (bpes) who was two. We

met at Whole Foods the supermarket. I know how you feel. I have glasses, too so

whenever I take them off people stare at me. Even adults. I end up telling 3 or

4 kids about my disease a week. It's not such a big deal to explain but when I

finish talking about the person shrugs and leaves. As if this disease is no big

deal. I hate to say it but my friends don't get it either. Maybe it's hard to

understand but I couldn't say it any better. People think I'm chinese or

Japanese sometimes. How I handle that I cannot say. I do remember once in

Kindergarten I was eating lunch and a kid said I was Indian and started pulling

his eyes out to the sides like mine. I simply pushed my eyes in as a dis.

Although, now that dis doesn't work. Hannah, I think what we need to do is

think of a way to teach people about our disease. It may work. If we wanted we

could start a series about it! Well, good luck on finding more people. You can

write me back if you want...I'm using my mom's e-mail. It's up on the top of

this message. Hope to hear back! Bye, and good luck!

I have a 16 year old son that was born with severe bpes. He is a very bright, caring and handsome young man. Throughout his life he has had to explain his differences to different people. Within moments it is not an issue. He only gives a very brief explanation. That is sufficient for most. My son is a high honor student. In grade school he received the academic presidential award. He has played baseball, basketball and football. He is very popular and well liked by both children and adults. I do believe there are some days that he does not even think about bpes. A positive attitude and high self esteem is very important. I continually gave this child positive reinforcement about his looks as well as his mind. I can't stress enough how important this is.He did go through 3 surgeries at Mass Eye in Boston. I am a single Mom and have a son that is 18 months younger that does not have bpes.

Hi Hannah,

I don't often write on this site these days, however when I read your post, it bought back memories for me, and I just wanted to let you know that you can still have a Happy and 'normal ' life, even with bpes. I'm 31 now, but it doesn't seem that long ago that I was your age, and I got called names such as 'chinkie' and 'slit eyes', which were so hurtful. I remember feeling so miserable, but you have to be strong and remember that kids will pick on anyone who's a bit different, no matter what the difference is. Since then, I've grew up to have a very happy and full life. I'm happily married, have a successful career and my eyes aren't an issue for me any more. In fact, after surgery, I have had so many people compliment me on my looks, things have really changed for me. You can see my pic's under Abbie_gog.

Growing up is hard at the best of times, and 13 is a difficult age for many girls. As you get older I'm sure things will get better for you. Try to stay positive and not let people who are mean to you hurt you. I know it's hard, but BPES really doesn't have to ruin your life, I bet there are loads of great things about you that makes people love you, just think about all that stuff and enjoy your teens! Also, it wont be long before you might want to start wearing make up, which believe me, will make a big difference on how you look!

Take care Hannah,

Abbie in the UK

Hi Hannah

How are you?

I havent read this site in ages and like everyone else when I read

your message I just had to let you know you are not alone.

I was the same called Chinese but I thought these people were strange

because I didn't know what I had. I didn't really understand why they

were saying it. I knew I was different. My parents never really

discussed it. I don't think my Dad knew what it was either and he has

it. I remember a friend in Primary school saying to me one day " My

mum said that when you were born you couldn't open your eyes " I just

looked at her and said that's not true and anyway what did she know

!!!

Im 31 now and I have 3 boys 8, 3 and 18mths. My middle son has BPS

too and as soon as they were all born I checked their eyes and I cried

for days. Sam is 3 now and he gets on great and goes to nursery and I

make sure everyone who needs to know is told about his eyes. If any

kids ask, I tell them. In the park one child started saying to him

" you've got funny eyes " over and over again and I was raging! Sam's

brother, Cameron, who is 8 immediately stood up to him. It was great!

Sam will have surgery in the summer before he starts school.

His brother came down almost crying the other night saying that Sam

can do something that he will never be able to do. That is - roll his

eyes back until they disappear. This was my party trick at school

too. All the kids used to make me do it and they would say " wow, how

can you do that " I used to say " it's because of my eyes that I've

got " . It sounds ridiculous now because back then I didn't even know

what I was talking about.

I really hope you get some great friends your age from here and you

can chat about how you feel and what experiences you have. As you get

older people don't bother you as much about your eyes and are more

curious than anything.

Plus don't forget make-up works wonders so, learn how to use it when

you are ready.

You sound like a great person and like I say to my son, life and

things are very different when you are an adult, which for you is not

long. Take care of you!

Hi , I laughed out loud at your trick. My son who is 18 now, also used that to make his friends jealous. I used to be horrified when he would roll his eyes back, I tried to use the line "If you keeping doing that, one day they will just stay that way." He never believed me....he thought it was the coolest thing. :-) Ontario, Canadadenisecam1 <denisecam1@...> wrote: Hi HannahHow are you?I havent read

Hi Caroline & KatiIm so glad others do it too. Im not sure if it is very good for the eyes - I really dont know. Is it fun and the kids love it at school when Sam does it. I have to say I have not done it in around 15 years when Cameron came down and told me that Sam did it. I certainly did not show him and he asked me if I can you do it too and I said yes. I just laughed.One of his Uncles said the same too him - if you keep doing that the wind will change. Our Sam is the most amazing, funny, gorgeous, strong willed little man. He has loads of friends. When he was born I think I carried him everywhere on my hip until he could walk. (probably almost smothered him with it) His confidence to me is one of the most important things for him and if this helps him and others (however small) to make friends and get on then I think thats great! See you all later

HI HANNAH MY NAME IS APRIL I AM FROM NC I HAVE BPES AS WELL AS MY 5

MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. I REMEMBER HOW HARD THOSE TEEN YEARS WERE FOR ME

BEING DIFFERENT AND ALL. THE ONLY THING THAT GOT ME THROUGH IT WAS

REMEMBERING GOD MADE ME SPECIAL. I AM ALSO ALREADY CONCERENED ABOUT

MY DAUGHTER GETTING PICKED ON. THE THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT

EVERYONE GETS PICKED ON SOMETIME IN THEIR LIFE. KIDS ARE CRUEL AND

NO MATTER WHAT THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING TO PICK AT YOU ABOUT. HAVE

YOU HAD ANY SURGERIES AND IF SO DO YOU RECOMMEND HAVING THEM. I AM

TRYING TO DECIDE IF MY DAUGHTER SHOULD HAVE THEM OR NOT. I JUST

DON'T WANT TO PUT HER THROUGH A SURGERY THAT DOESN'T HELP.

Hiya ,

I've been slowly making my way through the forums, boy

there is so much to get through.

Hannah's post has me reminising. I HATED school until

I hit grade 11 in highschool.

I was tormented and teased right up until then. I

decided that I was sick to death of it. Changed schools. Found

friends more weird than I am, and had my nich within a week.

I joined a band with the elder sister of one of the

popular boys, which lead to a certain amount of respect. My vocal

ability got me by. After school I tried for a modelling career, I got

to the finals of one competition. Didn't win, but damn it felt good

to be up there with the 'normal' people. Was kinda cool to make it

into the newspaper with my husband too. I haven't pursued it any

further.

It will really make a difference if Hannah can find

people who like her for her, or the abilities she has. People who

have her gift for looking beyond what she looks like.

The friends that can do that will be friends for life.

I hope both you and Hannah find a flow that will work. Keep telling

her she's beautiful, one day she might just wake up and agree with

you.

*Big Hugs*

Smile, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.

I think Hannah might feel that boys don't like her because of her

eyes. Alot of older people think she is a wonderful child when they

meet her. She volunteers at the veteran's home in our town and they

all love her there. But there no one is judging how she looks.

People are right saying that kids will pick on anyone who is

different, no matter what their differences are. I have worked with

the school principal with Hannah being picked on and I don't think it

happens as frequently as it did. I know that Hannah will grow up and

be happy in her life but being a teen is very hard for her. We are

so glad we found this group because I think for her it lets her know

that there are other people who look like her and she isn't alone.

Welcome to the group but scratching my head at your question.

Walford's book is available in most public libraries. It is also sold at

his website, and almost everywhere else on the web where books are sold. A

used copy can probably be bought at Amazon for peanuts. Another cheap books

site is: half.com
