13-year-old Sam: "People see me as different"
New movie 'Wonder', which is about a child living with facial disfigurement, is getting rave reviews from critics and the public.
More than 15,000 children are born with a disfigurement in the UK according to the organisation Changing Faces.
Sam, who is 13, was born with a cleft palate. He told 5 live's Rachel Burden that he's had mean comments in school and on social media. "I don't really like social media - it makes people think 'why don't I look like that?' - It's pretty stupid."
