This story came to me when I was being interviewed by the organisation More Than A Face. I was asked about my experience of life with a facial difference, so I detailed some of the things that had happened to me. When I finished, the interviewer said, ‘I’m really sorry you were bullied’.

I was never someone who saw myself as bullied, but when I thought back to some of my experiences, I realised how much they impacted me. Even as an adult, the negative voice in my head wasn’t mine, but the voice of others. The way I described myself wasn’t in my own words, but in the words other people had used to describe me. Ugly, hideous, unlovable – all the things I said to myself when I was feeling down, none of them were words I’d thought to call myself before someone else did.

It made me think – if I didn’t class myself as bullied but have been so affected by that treatment, what about someone who was bullied? How would they feel? What would they think of themself?

The rest, as they say, is history.(less)

Quotes by Jess Kitching  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“So, Layla became a lawyer. And not just any lawyer, but a corporate lawyer living in the capital. Sure, Layla once pictured herself defending the rights of refugees or victims of crime, not helping millionaires hoard their wealth, but still, she had made her childhood dream come true.”
Jess Kitching, The Life Experiment

“Layla had learned to accept it for what it was – her choice to leave had put her on the edge of Cannon family life. Now, she watched from afar. The photos of days out posted in the group chat, the events she heard about long after they happened, the in-jokes she wasn’t part of. Even when she was in the same room as them, she felt separate.”
Jess Kitching, The Life Experiment
