This is a story about courage and loving yourself no matter what. We should all be thankful for who we are at all times. A teenage girl who has been verbally abused for years by other children has revealed how she has come to love the hundreds of birthmarks covering her face and body.
Ciera Swaringen, 19, of Rockwell, North Carolina, was diagnosed with Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus after being born with the oversized mole-like marks.
They cover more than two-thirds of her body, with the largest one stretching from her navel to her lower thighs. 
Since she was a small child, she has had to endure cruel taunts from other children - and adults - but she has developed a positive attitude towards her rare skin condition, which affects around one in every 500,000 people.

Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly accused Donald Trump of being insensitive towards women. "You've called women you don't like, 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' slobs, and disgusting animals," she accused

Trump simply replied that he only used those words to describe Rosie O'Donnell. "No it wasn't." Megyn disagreed. "For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O'Donnell. Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women's looks. You once told a contestant on 'Celebrity Apprentice' it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?" she said

He didn't like her comments so when probed by CNN's Don Lemon in an interview with CNN yesterday, he subtly implied that Megyn was menstruating and hormonal. "There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever," he said He is currently facing a fierce backlash for the misogynistic and sexist comment.
