[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure if all our kids dressed in the latest fashions, people like OP would still find something to pick on these kids for.

So... I can buy the best clothes but should I tell my kid to keep their mouth shut... wouldn't want DC to be bullied for his language skills. Should I tell DC not to move their body? Their arms might flap!

Point being... it's not a matter of simply choosing to wear the right clothes. It's about being forced to conform in ways that probably won't matter much in the end anyway... But I'm glad for kids who can buy the right clothes to fit in. It's just not possible or even a good suggestion to the problem of how to fit in with peers and stop bullying.It's like blaming women for rape. Thanks. Great suggestion.[/quote]

You know what, we give women all kinds of advice on protecting themselves from rape. (Dump your drink, if you left it alone.  Don't walk alone on campus. First dates should be in public places.)  Suggesting that the right clothes can provide some protection isn't blaming the victim. It's trying to offer parents a small piece of advice to try to head off problems.  You can't change other kids' behavior, but you can do your best to help your kid avoid being a target.
