Haters - Progeria

I was on youtube just last night and I saw "TsimFuckis" and Ashley Hegi's youtube videos. Then, I noticed comments saying mean things, like: "Why aren't you dead?"or "menh dis is fuckin real...his legs are like retarded too...dis cant be costumes, wateva menh am scared".
First of all, learn to spell. Because people might not even take you serious when you type like that. Also, you just wasted your time by commenting it so you have no life. 
Second of all, Justin TsimFuckis and Ashley Hegi have a rare disease called Progeria. Progeria is an extremely rare genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at an early age. The word Progeria comes from the Greek progeros meaning 'prematurely old'. The Greek word pro means 'before', while the word geras means 'old age' . The disorder has very low incidences and occurs in one per eight million live births. Those born with progeria typically live about thirteen years, although many have been known to live into their late teens and early twenties and rare individuals may even reach their forties. It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation and is not usually inherited, although there is a uniquely heritable form. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progeria]
Both of them are really brave for posting videos on youtube because they knew what the comments was gonna be. That "they look weird", or "what is wrong with them?"
Yes, I admit they look weird and different from most other people but they are weird and differnt in a way that it is unique. And nothing is wrong with them, the question is, what's wrong with you?
So, before you type anything, just think about what you are gonna say. Just think about what that person is going through in school, in stores, in...almost anywhere.
What would you wanna hear if you were that person? People stare at you in the streets, probably point and make fun of you too.
Just think, please.
