DEAR HARRIETTE: I’m uncomfortable with how I look. I have vitiligo, which causes my skin to have patches of different shades all over my body. All through high school I was bullied for it, but I’m starting college this semester. I am hoping that college will be a new start for me to embrace how I look and make new friends. With our classes beginning online, I am yet again afraid that people will judge me by what they see on the screen before they get to know me. I don’t think I am going to make any friends and no one will like me. All I want to do now is to hide away. How can I get over my fear of not being accepted?
