Struggles Of An Albino Child.
I can remember back then in my secondary school, we had this albino girl in my class and people always makes gest of her. She was really intelligent but she literally had no friends. This was about 15 years ago.
Fast forward to few days ago, I was in a cab when I saw some secondary school children walking home. They were 4 boys with 1 albino boy in their midst.
I decided to observe them a little (thanks to Lagos traffic I was able to do that😃). As they were walking home, some other guy passed (it didn’t seem like this guy knew any of them) he waved 2 fingers on the face of the albino boy asking him ‘how many fingers is this’. I felt annoyed with that act and when I looked at the face of the albino child I noticed his countenance had changed.
Seeing that boy reminded me of the albino girl in my secondary school back then. This children didn’t choose to be born this way and they always feel lonely when growing up, because most of them don’t usually have friends at that stage. Some even find it difficult to boost their self confidence even when growing up 😢.
Albinism is a recessive trait, like blue eyes. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about what causes the condition.
I just want to spread this word out there. BE NICE TO AN ALBINO CHILD.
They are also human and they have daily struggles they go through.
Albinism is not Deformity. Say no to discrimination.
