[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been working with my young children to not care what anyone thinks about them.  I hope by the time 9th grade comes along they can say "I like salad" with a confident smile and keep on going with their conversation as if nothing happened.  I know I couldn't have because I had no spine in HS, but I hope my kids can. She should just be confident in her choices and not care what those people think. [/quote]

+1 I've told DD since kindergarten that when a child picks on you, it says more about them than it does about you.  DD also brings super healthy lunches everyday and kids comment on it.  She just smiles and says "I like being healthy" and considers it part of her identity.  When I was going to put a homemade brownie in her lunch one day, she said it would "ruin her rep" as the healthy one.  Granted, she is in 6th grade, not 9th, so we'll see if her confidence continues in high school, but please don't tell your DD to change her behavior because of what these girls say, it is absolutely the wrong message to send to a girl her age.[/quote]
