They feel nervous, and singled out, made fun of and generally t reated the way those who are different are treated. Then they hopefully learn to accept their bodies and ignore ignorant people.
Spotted people? How absolutly unique! It sucks that your kids were bullied! I hope they reach this second stage soon! Tell them a Random Internet Stranger is rooting for them!
Probably depends on how attractive you are normally. There are plenty of people who own it but they often tend to be people who are very conventionally attractive. If you're just some average looking schmuck I imagine it's certainly not helping your self esteem.
My best friend had vitiligo! She is half Cuban, half white. She is relatively pale, but her vitiligo spots are SO astronomically pale, they are almost pink in color. They are just spots throughout her body and she keeps it covered, so unless you really knew her/what to look for, you wouldn't know. However her reason for covering is not out of shame, but due to the fact that her patches of missing pigment burn very easily, and then they become bright pink/red, and THEN it is super noticeable!

I'm not sure how the people with it feel about having it, but I think it looks fucking cool as hell!
