Smile? I have this face on the toilet sometimes...

It actually is the same person. On the photographer's Instagram the caption of this photo states that this the model is age 12 in one photo and age 14 in the other.

mirror image identical freckles though? That is TRIPPY

If it is, they can get very serious. I know someone who had one and what started as just a purple patch ended up severely disfiguring his face and affecting his vision.

It is I think!

There's many forms of albinism. Some are even barely noticeable. Some affect eye color, some don't.

How do you know she hates how she looks? I know someone albino, all my life they've loved themselves and never appear to be self conscious. Hating themselves wasn't something they had to stop, because being albino was simply who they were and its who they are. Being albino may cause problems because of the community born in, but it doesnt always instill self hate. In my friends eyes it's a bit inconvenient, but simply unique.

I've never seen eyes that color. Like the Aegean Sea.

Gorgeous, period.

It's an autoimmune disorder not disease. I'm glad to read that (I have it) but just an FYI

Me too. My son has it and he knows it makes him unique.

Same. It also appears in animals, such as dogs and cats and it’s just as beautiful.

I like to make characters with Vitaligo, gives them a soft look? I don't know how to explain it, but I agree it's pretty

I was most definitely picked on in elementary school for having lots of freckles.

You are different with freckles. You are different even with red hair. Its not big deal and generally not a serious racism or xenophobia, but yes, especially as a child you certainly will experience bullying and you will meet discrimination even in adulthood, (but much less in my case)

My class mate from 20 years ago, a curly red head with a lot of freckles was mercilessly bullied in school. Lots of kids are absolute ah and adults aren't any better. Maybe it's better now but freckles were often seen as ugly and something to get rid of.

The artist is exploring individuality and diversity rather than discrimination

definitely picked on for freckles and reddish hair for me

Wow, thanks for all the insights and shares. God, kids are jerks! Well, I’ll stand by what I said. I think freckles are gorgeous 🙂. Wish you all the very best and I hope the ridiculous bullying stops!

Yeah, I had freckles and was bullied. Weird. I did look different than everyone else...

I was looking through an old cookbook that my mom has from the late 1800s that is the official "White House" cookbook. And in the back section called "toiletries," they have different types of home remedies for illnesses or cleaning and one of the recipes is to lighten or remove freckles. It was most definitely more of an older era thing but having freckles was seen as a negative. I'm sure some people still see it as an issue.

I got crapped on in school for having them all over me. Also being the only one with green eyes. Funny enough, the stigma originated a very long time ago when having freckles was associated with labouring in the sun. Thus, it was once an indication that you were poor. Now people use makeup to create them rather than hide them!

Reproductive centers no longer accept donations of sperm from redheads - no call for it

picked on and discriminated against are two totally different things. I was a redheaded freckled kid growing up, yes the usual teasing stuff, though as I grew older into an adult it all turned into desirable traits, ugly ducking scenario........

I was bullied in primary school for having freckles.

I was bullied most of my life for being heavily-freckled. Nowadays freckles are trendy.

My freckles have faded a lot over the years.I have them all over my body, so not just on my face.But yeah, I was definitely picked on when I was young. Kids can be vicious little monsters when they focus on someone that looks different.

I would not be at all surprised to find out people had been picked on for having freckles, even though I think they're fascinating and beautiful, because some people will look for any reason at all to make another person's life more difficult.

What's wrong with freckles? A lot of us had them when we were young. And still do even now.

We get teased for freckles maybe not discrimination on a job interview... like someone being short

Definitely a point for bullying
