Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML

it was an honest mistake it's not like if you were making fun of her

Oh please, you can't compare birthmarks on an arm (that you can easily cover if it bothers you) to birthmarks on a face.

I understand how the girl feels because, even though it is not the same thing, I have really horrible psoriasis across my face, head, back and legs. People have always been scornful of me and have treated me like a mutant, but it was an honest mistake, and I think that she overreacted a bit too much.

crying over a birth mark, really? it's not that damn deep it was a mistake it's not like you were being a evil about it

I have a similar mark that covers most of my forearm. I don't mind having it on my arm, but I would hate to have it on my face.

Honest mistake, its the girl's fault. Birthmarks are odd and its easy to misinterpret them as burns, scars, etc. :3

87, and any other comments that said similar things, I don't see how any of it was anyone's "fault." How can you say "it's her fault for having a birthmark," or as someone else said, she should have to cover it with makeup so no one will say anything about it? Also, how would it be OP's fault for thinking someone in a play was wearing so much makeup that it could be easily smudged? Especially if the lipstick the girl was wearing was a similar color to her birthmark. Smh. No one has to be at fault for a small misunderstanding. And maybe it's a little bit of an overreaction to cry for half an hour because someone thought your birthmark was makeup, but that doesn't mean she's to blame for anything.....

I can understand being self-conscious and a little upset, but it seems excessive to hide away and cry for half an hour while she was needed to prepare for the play that she presumably was in. :/

people these days are too freaking sensitive for my liking.

its not your fault, it's not like you can just TELL it was a birthmark
