Elysium
I'm naturally very pale and that's just fine by me, but every summer I get bombarded by the same types of comments. Some of the people making the comments are my friends, but some are people I barely even know. Why do people feel like it's ok to walk up to me and say things like: "Wow, I bet you glow in the dark.", "Don't you EVER go out in the sun? Do you live in a dungeon or something?", "You know, it wouldn't kill you to go tanning once in a while...you could use it.", "You're pretty, but you really need a tan!", or just laugh and make some condescending remark like "Oh my gosh, look at your pale legs! That's so funny!" I don't understand why so many people seem to feel that it is acceptable to say things like that. I always want to tell them that if they wouldn't walk up to a heavy person and say "Lose some weight, tubby!" then they shouldn't say "Go get a tan, glowstick!". I'm not self conscious about being pale at all and I don't wish I was tan - I just want to know what to say when people put me down for my skin color. I always have to fight the urge to say something rude, but I also don't want to just keep laughing it off and letting people think it doesn't bother me. Has anyone else ever been in this situation before, and if so, what's the best way to handle it?
Answer
THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! Friends do not hurt & say mean things to the other! You'll have the last laugh, when you meet up with them again, 30-40 years from your HS graduation! Continue taking good care of your pale skin. In the long run, you'll look younger than they do, by the time you're 50 or 80.
I have Discoid Lupus, and I wear my umbrella. I also sometimes wear my floppy hat. I actually wore floppy hat all 4 years of my HS, and it was fashionable back in the 70's. In Asia where I came from 95% of the people there use umbrella to protect them from the heat, among other reasons. But in other countries where BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, and tanning is beautiful . . . they're very ignorant about pale is REALLY beautiful. Sometimes, along the way, while wearing my umbrella, I'd hear someone say: "Is it going to rain today?" "or is it raining outside?" etc. What they really don't know is that: there are skin diseases related to tanning. Aging is the reason why people are into buying anti-aging products, and why dermatologist have better skin than those who tan. There are as many tanning lotions sold out there, as there are whitening products from soap, skin creams, and lotions but cancer is also rising. Skin Lighteners and Anti-aging Treatments: May Contain the Toxic Metal, Mercury.
What they also don't know is that tanning causes them to get moles, freckles, skin tags, melanoma or worst skin diseases like Bullous Pemphegoid, vitiligo, ski discolorations permanently from lotions etc.
Watch Mirror, Mirror when the evil queen played by Julia Roberts wanted to look as fair as the princess played by Lily Collins. I came from a vacay in Ireland, and many of the people there working in the profession (luxury hotels and banks, etc.) have beautiful white complexion!
This is what beautiful flawless skin looks like:

You DON'T NEED TO SAY anything to them. "Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." keep repeating those children's rhyme, and you'll do just fine. Christina Aguillera has a song called "Beautiful". Or Bruno Mars, "Just the Way You Are." Listen to them.
Been there, I know what it's like. I did without anyone's help, no teachers, no parents, no friends. Think positive and have confidence, without those two, you can't make it into the world. It's up to you to change, since you can't CHANGE THEM.
Lady Gaga, go listen to some of her music. She's a good example of one that was bullied in middle school.
I'm almost 60 now, and I still get those bullies once in a while. It's a tough world, but only YOU can do it. But I have flawless skin, same as that of some 30 something person!
