[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd make sure that she has a safe place to be herself with peers.  Art, music and theatre groups tend to be accepting.

You can get through a lot of tough times if you know you have a safe place to go later.[/quote]

This.

Also, you might want to teach her a couple of confident retorts when someone comments on her appearance. Like, "I am very happy with myself," or "Thanks for your opinion, but I'm good."[/quote]

She doesn't need to respond confidently (or aggressively) to a comment from a random adult.  She can smile in acknowledgement and move on.  Not everything needs an attack.[/quote]

Why should she smile??[/quote]

Because she is a respectful child with good manners and he is an elder.  Do you not teach your children to respect adults? Or only to correct them or ignore them?[/quote]

Oh, you’re one of THOSE. No, you don’t deserve respect for not dying longer. You earn it. He, and his stupid comment, didn’t earn it.
