Hi Jenny, I also developed vit in my teen years and I know it was hard to accept. It took me many years to really get a grip on the fact I had vitiligo and I was not going to get rid of it. I still today find myself drifting into depress when i see myself without makeup and just hurt to see my condition. And I too on occasion have cried on the way my Vit looks. But I don't allow my self to be down for long. I focus on staying positive and thank god I don't have a more serious disease. I'm not trying to discourage you, just let you know that we all feel the way you do about having vitiligo. Good luck and don't give on enjoying your teen years.
