See, almost every single one of you raised your hands. I also was teased when I was a little younger than you.

When I was younger, I was shy. I was overweight. I wore glasses. I got teased a lot, I grew up watching pageants, but I never thought I was going to become Miss USA.

If you can't, continue to be nice to them. Eventually, they may start being nice. A bully wants to have friends, too.

Who thought I would be Miss Louisa County?

I had to miss school, and I had to have half my head shaved.

That means I was born with all the bones in my head grown together. I had to have two operations when I was a baby.
