Vlogger with facial tumour beats the bullies

An inspiring young woman born with a facial tumour is hitting back at bullies!

Courtney Blackmore was born with cystic hygroma - an extremely rare condition which causes growths in the chin and neck.

Sadly, the 20-year-old vlogger is met with many negative comments on YouTube. But the way Courtney hits back at the bullies is by expressing herself by singing.

"People ask me what's the point of uploading, if you know you're different," she says. "For me it's an outlet and it's an expression of me. For me, it doesn't matter what people say, it's my choice."

Courtney, who has had over 20 surgeries on her face, is unable to close her mouth. At the moment, she's not planning on having an more surgeries, because it can be dangerous.

"I always wanted to look 'normal'," Courtney adds. "But there is no normal. It's okay to look different. I'm okay with being who I am."
