Sooo..I was 6 years old and sitting impatiently in the delivery waiting room I always wanted a sibling, and finally I'd be getting a little brother. But a few weeks later I found myself sitting in a different waiting room..the one closest to the ER. My brother had been born successfully, but apparently there was something with him. I remember that I kept asking if he was going to die, and my parents kept saying no. I was just thankful that he was alive..but now, according to him, he wish he had never been born in the first place. He's 10 years old, and he's legally blind. Which means he can see, but not well, and he needs glasses. He's not albino, but there was some birth defect that made him close to being one. The only difference is that he has blue eyes, which is the only amount of pigmentation in his body. His hair is white, and his skin is also extremely pale. He'll never tan, it's impossible to dye his hair [ or eyebrows ] and contacts would never work for him. Since people can't usually tell that he's slightly handicapped, they always make fun of him. And they stare..for goodness sake's he's only ten years old and he cries almost every night...he won't speak to us about it either. What do i do? It's gunna change who he really is inside..
