[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez if she has a mustache then now! I saw some little south Asian girls in sleeveless dresses the other day. The poor kids were so hairy. I can't imagine the kind of bullying they will have to go through. [/quote]
I can't imagine living in a community where kids get bullied for this before they even hit puberty. Thank god for my small, amazing village.[/quote]

Not the PP, but are you for real?  I was a very hairy little girl and was teased when in elementary school until my mom let me shave my legs at age 10.  Teasing occurs anywhere and everywhere.  I applaud parents who do what they can to help their children fit in.[/quote]

+1000  Help her take care of it now before it causes her any real social embarrassment.  Even something kindly said by another kid could be cause for real anxiety for a child.

I am 50+ and I still cringe when I recall a boy in my 3rd grade class who had such hairy arms that the hair was about 1/2-1 inch long and it literally made his long-sleeved cotton button-down shirts stand up off of his arms.  All was fine and we ignored it until one day we had a new cute little girl enter our class.  Within an hour or two she had set her sights on this boy and made his life a misery by making fun of how when she grabbed his arm she could feel the puff of the hair and then she would squeeze and release to see it go back to its full almost inflated-like form.  It was horrible.  I'm almost crying as I write this because the boy was so mortified.  We were all trying to be polite and not criticize her but by lunchtime a bunch of us had really had it.  We told the teacher who did absolutely nothing.  That night I went home and I told my mom who told my dad who called his dad.  Another few kids had done the same.  The next day the boy came back to school and his arms had been shaved but the damage was done.  He was still so horrible embarrassed by the entire incident.  I still feel so badly for him.  And this was just one short day.  Imagine if it had gone on and on ...

OP, help your daughter, please!  There have been lots of posters with good advice and I'm sure that some of it will work for you![/quote]

I just re-read my post and it sounds over-wrought.  But that poor little boy.  Even after shaving his arms, this girl would still tease and mock him, and the more we cloistered around him the worse it got.  The school, of course, did nothing.  It went on all year - she arrived during the winter - until his family moved because of his dad's job.  It just was such an odd situation that one person, a bully, could have had such a big impact on a pretty tight-knit group of 25 or 30 kids who had been together since first grade.

I just think that if your daughter is saying something then it [i]could[/i] be an indication that someone has already said something to her because I don't think that any of my kids had that kind of self-awareness when they were 10.[/quote]
