Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A MAN who spent years being bullied for his -port wine- birthmark has learned to love himself and embrace his differences. Eric Pixley, 30, from Ohio, has a birthmark covering most of the right side of his face and scalp, as well as seeping into his left eye. He noticed he was different from when he was just eight years old, and even from such a young age, Eric would experience feelings of confusion and depression - often questioning why he was born different

This video randomly came up for me. I'm thinking it's because of my searches on port wine stains. My daughter, who is 9, has a port wine stain on her leg. She was born with KT syndrome. There are kids already bullying her for it. I am deeply saddened by this. As her father, I don't know what to do. I was bullied when I was a kid and I know my parents interactions made it worse. I am stuck and don't know what to do. She has to wear a compression stocking to help with swelling. There are kids making fun of her for it. It really drags me down. I try to be strong for her, but I can only be strong for so long. I can't show weakness in front of her. Behind closed doors I'm a mess over it.

Have you ever seen a boy with funny clothes? A girl with braces on her teeth or freckles on her nose? Some kids call them odd balls, some kids call them weird. God makes lots of people in all colors, shapes, & sizes. He loves them very much & what we need to realize is that calling people names because they're different is wrong.
Yea, we-re all pretty different. Some are skinny, some are stout.
But the inside is the part we-re supposed to care about.
Aye! That-s why we have feelings that are very much the same. So instead of saying -wierdo- I think -friends- is a better name.

I have a huge port wine stain birthmark on the back of my left thigh down to the crease of the back of my knee. And it skips my calf and goes to the left side of my foot. I'm black and I've always wondered how much it would stand out if I had lighter skin. I've always thought it was kind of cool and unique. I'm sure if I had it on my face, and had to endure bullying from kids I'd probably feel a little different, but I think he looks perfectly normal.

I had one that covered my entire back and was raised up my mom was heartbroken for me to be a girl and knowing what I'd go through wearing bathing suits growing up but mine shrunk down over my young years and its basically invisible now. Personally I love being different and I'd of embraced my birthmark had ot stayed. Hes very handsome and has a woman and child that live him regardless of any difference.

Eric, we went to elementary/middle school together but didn't know each other. Remembering you as a kid it's obvious now you were hurting. It made my morning to randomly find this video and see you're doing well. Keep it up bro!

I'm sorry you was bullied. I was bullied for being poor. I've always had a skill of overlooking imperfections. No judgement here. Your handsome, and I am sure your a great dad. That's all that matters and you have love!

One of my friends has a birthmark similar to this that is basically half his face. I know he has struggled with being picked on and all too. He is like a brother to me and I hate that he has to go through that.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome can cause such port wine stains. These are really vascular conditions. I know 2 people with port wine stains and they are very outgoing and confident. Keep on going sir!

heck! You a rapper. - you have a beautiful family. Live your best life.

My son has a -birthmark- on the left side of his cheek - my biggest fear is him being bullied. People have already commented about it. I'm so scared for high school for him

. Most of us are born with something that missed the perfect mold. and are able to hide it. bullies are born with a terrible handycap. pity them
reply

I had birthmark on my face but fortunately it was small and I have just a small scar on my face. They removed it something like month ago
reply

My niece's birthmark is almost identical. I'll never understand why people are judged for being -different-. I think he's very handsome.
reply

He's got the most incredible smile and crooked mouth! I also love that his rap is about something real and has depth to it.
reply

Your so good looking with a gorgeous family. I can also relate except mine is black and purple on my left side of my face
reply

Honestly I see nothing wrong. He-s good looking and has amazing personality. He-s an amazing husband and father.
reply

He-s good looking. It-s heartbreaking for him to talk about his facial birthmark throughout his childhood ---
reply

He was bullied because he is still handsome even with a -red patch- on his face. People are so mean sometimes.
reply

He's handsome, I don't mind birth marks at all. I feel for him that he got bullied, kids are the worst
reply

He is so handsome. Just look at those beautiful eyes. I don-t think anyone is staring at his birthmark.
reply

mate! great video, dont even see the birth mark. legend you are! Don't ever worry about an insecure bully!
reply

I honestly looked past his birth mark and all I noticed different was that his eyes are different colors.
