“I haven’t had the greatest year. Maybe one day I’ll talk about it, but for now, I’d like my privacy. I will say that this year has brought a lot of change and with that, physical changes.

In her 2012 conversation withSeventeen, she revealed receiving a kidney from her father. In her later interviews, the actress said it failed, and she needed another one.

“You know that family is going to be there for you no matter what. My dad gave me a freakin’ kidney! But it’s also the families that you create outside of your family. And you really find out what kind of people you’re friends with. It was just amazing, and it really opened my eyes to see who’s there for me and who’s not.”

Sarah Hyland Admits To Having S**cidal Thoughts

In a tearful interview withSelf Magazine, Sarah Hyland confessed she thought of taking her own life because of guilt. After her first kidney transplant failed, she could no longer become a burden to another family member.

“I was very depressed. When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it’s your fault. It’s not. But it does. For a long time, I was contemplating s**cide, because I didn’t want to fail my little brother like I failed my dad. I had gone through [my whole life] of always being a burden, of always having to be looked after, having to be cared for.”

The actress remains positive amid her situation and does not care what people think of her appearance, much more when it comes to the allegations of facial surgery.
