" Hi, im also 19 and i was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. I know exactly how u feel. My self esteem has always been low. There are times when i'm feeling good, but then someone comes along and has something to say about me, and I feel horrible all over again. Going out with friends is hard for me to. I try to have fun with my friends, but for some reason i always end up feeling sad and think about my situation. People jus don't understand it isn't easy. "
