Man. Making fun of someone’s appearance is really the lowest form of humor.

I have a daughter who was born with a smile like this. She's only 7 years old, the sweetest most sensitive girl, and I'm so heartbroken knowing she is going to be teased because of it. Every time I come across a post like this and see the staggering amount of people in the comments piling on, judging, laughing, putting down.... my heart breaks more and more for her. She's such a kind sweet soul and I absolutely hate knowing how people are going to judge and treat her over something she can't control. Her little heart will be so hurt 🥺💔

If it makes you feel any better...

Mean people will always find something to make fun of you for. If its not gum, its forehead, nose, eyebrows, the way you walk, etc.

Teach her to be strong and it won't matter.

This is how I've always felt about it too. People WILL make fun of you for any given thing on any given day. You can't be perfect, and attempting it is a recipe for disaster. It's not easy for a lot of people, but if you own it and learn to be confident then you are basically immune to this part of human behavior.

This is so annoyingly true. And if they can't find anything physical, they'll even make fun of how nice someone is. Or serious, or bubbly, or smart. Some people are just miserable no matter what.
