April 27, 2014, 12:59 PM

Bullying and mocking peoples' looks unfortunately isn't just an activity of young kids.

Jahmel Binion of Madison Heights has discovered that. He has a rare disorder ectodermal dysplasia, a condition characterized by a reduced ability to sweat, missing teeth and abnormal hair growth, Fox 2's Randy Wimbley reports.

Binion posted a selfie on social media, Wimbley reports that, and Shaquille O'Neal, former University of Michigan athlete Trey Burke and rapper Waka Flocka Flame made fun it.

Binion told Fox 2 that he's a big fan of Shaq and was hurt by the mocking, saying he should be a role model.

The upside: Binion tells Fox 2 he has been inspired him to start an anti-bullying campaign called "Hug, Don't Judge."  -- Allan Lengel
