+1. That's ridiculous. Can she read?[/quote]

What does being able to read have to do with a child who has excessive leg hair?  The whole original post states that it seems way too early to shave because it typically is WAY too early.  But what's the alternative if the child is being teased and she's completely self-conscious about it.  [b]The leg hair is very different than her peers and it's causing problems.[/b]  The whole point of the post was that it's way earlier than when it's expected to have to deal with this.   At no point in the post does it say "hey, I really want to make my DD shave her legs for fun!"

[b]Maybe the solution is to find better peers[/b]. [/quote]

What a completely stupid statement.[/quote]

You're right. It's clearly better to let everyone else dictate how you feel about yourself, and let you know what you have to change.[/quote]

Why not since you also seem to want to dictate how she should feel about herself (i.e., you shouldn't care when people tease you, so I won't let you control your own body)?  As for "finding better peers," you're suggesting, what?  Pulling her out of her school and sending her to a private school where teasing never happens?  What planet are you living on?[/quote]
