[quote=Anonymous]OP has already clarified that the negative and mean comments are not coming from her DD's friends, but rather a cohort of mean girls. You're a fool if you think cohorts like that only exist "in McLean" or don't emerge as early as 3rd grade. A third grader in tutus and puffed sleeves will be an outlier -- I say that factually, no negative connotation. If your DD thinks that swapping the tutus for some leggings and sweatshirts will make her less of a target for these girls, then let her. Dealing with that cohort is miserable and exhausting and demoralizing. Your DD can move on to enjoying school, and sports, and friends, and having fun. It's just some damn clothes -- really, how much of her identity is tied up in the tutus? [/quote]
