[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore them. No one can make her feel teased. Only she can.[/quote]

PP here.  BS.  They should not be trying to embarrass the girl like this.

Why are so many of you calling this teasing? IT IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT.  It's not high school.  OP, if your daughter is okay with it, YOU go into the pool manager's office with her and tell the manager what is going on.  Get these other kids fired.  No second chances for this kind of abuse.

OMG have you never been teased for anything in your life? Call it sexual harassment or hostile workplace or whatever you will legally but it is 2 teens picking on another teen which has gone on since the dawn of time. As for it not being high school -- sure it's a workplace but frankly these high school jobs have a very high school vibe; this is not anyone's 40 hr a week for the rest of their life job.

How much time could she possibly have left this summer? A teen girl who goes to high school really doesn't know how to deal with being called a pig or a cow? She can't tell them to shut up or walk away and keep ignoring it or get a friend to stand up to them without mommy running to the office to have these boys fired? Btw -- this late in the summer, they won't be fired bc the pool won't want to hire new lifeguards. So then she'll not only be a cow but the one who tattled -- a much more enjoyable experience I'm sure.

I'm not sure how most of the people on DCUM made it to adulthood -- sensitive as they are. Around that age I got teased for being a tomboy. Nothing over the top, just comments whenever 2 boys walked by my locker. Rest assured my parents had no idea. Nor do I even remember the comments -- and 1 only remember one of the boys -- so it's not like this stuff leads to life long scarring.[/quote]
