Woman dubbed World's Ugliest reveals how she fought back against bullies

A woman once branded the 'world's ugliest' by cruel online trolls has told how she fought back against bullies.  
Lizze Velasquez is now launching her own documentary telling the world how she was bullied from the age of 17.
She now hopes to use her own experiences to help others to stand up to online trolls and assure people that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Speaking to Sunrise, Lizzie, who lives in Texas in the US, said: "There's a light on the other side of being bullied and if I was able to find it I hope that I can use my experiences to help show you that you can also find that light on the other side of bullying."
Lizzie was born with neonatal progeroid syndrome, a rare genetic disorder than affects muscle tone, the brain, the heart, eyes and bones.

It also prevents her from gaining weight meaning she weighs just 30 kilograms, and gives the sufferer an 'aged' appearance.

Lizzie first experienced severe bullying when she was a teenager, after cruel trolls posted a video of her online, branding her 'the ugliest woman in the world'.
She said: "It made me feel awful, I think if anyone were to put themselves in my shoes the moment I found that video, and reading all the comments, I think you'd instantly know how I felt.

"It was horrible, I was upset, I was angry, and I didn't know how I was going to pick myself back up from it."
