[quote=Anonymous]Im so sorry your daughter is going through this. My recommendation is to move her immediately to a new school, even if it means moving yourself. I have two daughters of a similar age who are biracial (Indian and white). They go to a dcps school that has mostly Hispanic and African American kids. It has been great for us. There are a couple of bullies, but nothing on this level. Over the years kids have been curious about what they “are,” want to touch their hair or wonder why they are not Christian. I think that is all natural kiddlike curiosity. The mean child in my older daughter’s class had been saying worse things than I knew, calling her ugly, making fun of her clothes and hair. My dd is gorgeous by the wat and they have a uniform, so these comments have no basis in reality. The child making the comments has an extremely strict parent (she is not allowed to have play dates or go trick or treating, for instance) and comes from a lower income family where the parents may be undocumented. I explained to my daughter that this is why the child might be bullying her— she is jealous. Anyway my point being, you can find a school with a much better ratio of nice kids to bullies. You may want to look for a school with more minirity children. Though I grew up ina largely white area and did not experience bullying. It really depends on the community.[/quote]
