Hi, I am 15 years old and I want to share about my health condition. I have strabismus or crossed eye in my right eye. I have been bullied since I was in daycare, and now at 15, I am afraid to go outside and meet people because of it. I only go out to go to school, and I am so thankful that they do not bully me there, but I still feel very uncomfortable because I lost my confidence. I am desperate to undergo surgery because it is my only hope to feel normal again, but I cannot work yet and my family has no budget for it. I am also afraid to ask them because they always say we don't have money. My father even told me, 'Don't worry son, once I am dead I will give my right eye to you.' I know the outcome of that — even if I have his eye, I still wouldn't be able to see. But every time I hear those words, I get so emotional and I feel so helpless.
