I can imangine how at a delicate age of 12 this started to happen when you are growing up..Please try not to let other peoples ignorance get to you..I lost my leg to NF1 and other peoples rudness can hurt. Please try to be a bigger person than they are don't waste life or not enjoy life because other people are ignorant..Their is a NF support group please join and take a look at the site. IT has useful information and people who feel the same was you do..Please take care. Log on to the NF board index page and talk to others with this problem.
