[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other kids pick on your DD because she is white? [/quote]

Not as far as she's reported to me. [b]She gets picked on sometimes, and we deal with that as it comes. [/b]She has never mentioned it being related to race.[/quote]

I wouldn't deliberately place my child in a situation where she would be picked on (and then "deal with it" after the fact).

We clearly have different approaches with respect to a child's mental health and emotional development.  I'm so, so, so sorry for your daughter.  [/quote]

My child has yet to be picked on significantly at school (where DC is an "only"). DC was however picked on and bullied relentlessly at summer camp this year for the first time. DC was in the majority there, and it had nothing to do with race.

If you think you can choose environments where your child will not be picked on, you're mistaken. It can be hard for kids to get picked on, and bullying should be dealt with immediately, but it happens and if it's not about race it'll be about something else. [/quote]
