Hello - my name is Emily. I am 13 years old and I have had vitiligo since i was 6 years old. My mom looked this site up for me because she thought it would help. I'm not really insecure about my vitiligo but its nice to see other people are like me.

This is a great site for support and information regarding vitiligo. Many of us believe there will be a cure someday. In the meantime, at least with sites like this one, you don't feel like you are the only person experiencing this rather bizarre medical condition. By the way, it sounds like you have a really terrific Mom.
I think your mom had a great idea! I have a friend with vitiligo so I'm here learning more about it. Seems like a nice site with some very nice "virtual" friends. Keep up the attitude, it is everything and it is the first thing people notice, a great attitude.
Hello Emily! Welcome. I was the same age when I developed vitiligo as well, I am now 26. I'm glad you're not insecure about your vit, it's hard through the teenage years :) Continue to be proud of yourself, you are more unique than most!
