Indian woman Lakmi Yadford is still 50 years old, and she has to work hard for the future.

Indian woman Lakmi Yadfo looks at her peers and grows into a young girl, and her appearance and height have always been the same when she was 5 years old. The doctor said that Lakmi suffers from a rare genetic disorder that will last forever if not properly treated.

Childhood annoyance

Lakmi is 20 years old, 0.99 meters tall and weighs 19.05 kilograms. It looks like a child. She told the British "Sunday People's Daily" reporter that the friends around me grew up and looked forward to marrying and having children, but they did not have the opportunity to experience the troubles and joys of adolescence. Instead, they were scared by their small size.

"I watched all my friends grow into young girls, and my body shape changed, but I have nothing to change," Lakmi said. "I should wear a bra, but I don't have a chest, no menstruation, and I can't give birth to children in the future." Sometimes I imagine the normal life I should have, and I am sad."

Lakmi hates to see strangers, does not like the strange eyes of others, so he does not like to go to cafes or cinemas, preferring to "home" to play video games or watch TV at home.

Beyond sorrow, more is scared. Rakmi said: "I rarely go out of the house because I am worried about being hurt. Once, a child here was kidnapped and stuffed into a van. This incident frightened me and later saw the car around. The truck ran home."

"I am afraid that I am the target of sexual assault because I am small and easy to be a target. Therefore, I never go out alone."

Love between friends and family

Fortunately, family and friends take care of Lakmi.

Lakmi hates shopping, and mother Parvati has arranged her dress. Parvati said: "I took a bunch of clothes and went home to let her choose. This method is very good, Lakmi does not have to face the embarrassment of going to the store to shop."

Lakmi and his brother Azad and his sister Suman read the same middle school to facilitate mutual care. Lakmi said that her brother and sister are her best friends, and no matter where they go, one of them will be accompanied. Azad is 22 years old and has the same illness as Lakmi. The 15-year-old Suman is developing normally.

Lakmi is also glad that he has made a group of good friends at school. "They never bully me and often protect me. But when I leave my family or circle of friends, the people outside are mostly annoying."

Worry about the future

Litsh Gupta, an endocrinologist at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi, said that if Lakmi injects growth hormone before the age of sixteen, it will be better. But for a family of five with a monthly income of only 8,000 rupees, the cost of hormone therapy is astronomical, and both brothers and sisters missed the best treatment period.

Gupta said: "Lakmi will always look like it, unless it is properly examined and treated."

After Lakmi received her high school diploma with a high score, her family and friends encouraged her to go to the society. Last week, she found a job as a sales assistant with a monthly salary of Rs 5,000. She said: "I need a job, my family needs more income. I want to be one of the family's economic pillars. I am a little scared, but I will insist that I will overcome my fear of work."

She said that her sister will accompany her to work in the first few weeks, "I will get used to it." “Thinking about making money every day when you go out to work is very proud. I hope that work will bring me happiness.”

For the future, Lakmi is not willing to think more. She does not want to get married and refuses to kiss each other. She said: "I am afraid to give my future to a bad guy."
