According to the British "Daily Star" reported on January 26, Shauna Rae, a 22-year-old girl abroad, revealed in a recent TLC show that she has been trying to do some "adult" things to prove that she is mature, such as makeup and drinking.
Shauna developed a rare form of brain cancer when she was six months old, and the side effects of the treatment inhibited her physical development, causing her to not grow like a child her age, so she still looks like an 8-year-old.
The girl details the stress she faces and the struggles of being trapped in a "little body" on the show.
She likes to dress up like other 22-year-old girls, but every time she wears makeup in public, people always cast a different look.
Shauna even started smoking to make herself look older, and she enjoyed all the avant-garde lifestyles, including tattoos and piercings.
She added: "I did these adult-style things not to show anyone that I was an adult, but to prove to myself that I was an adult." I want to be the person I want to be. ”
However, Shauna's childish appearance still attracts a lot of negative comments to her mother Patty, and when mother and daughter go out together, they are often asked Patty, "Oh, wow, what is she doing?" What is that kid doing?" How can you make your child dress like this?"
Patty then had to explain that Shauna had grown up and could make her own decisions, but these people just didn't believe it.
Shauna, who is only 3 feet 10 inches (about 1.15 meters) tall, said while applying mascara: "I feel very sad for my mother, they dare not oppose me in person, after all, they walked up to the children and said that these things were inappropriate." But I think it's also very inappropriate for them to say these things to my mom. ”
