[quote=Anonymous]I am really torn on this. It is an easy fix, I guess, but there are some things that are not so easy: like, I got teased for my last name, my HUGE nose and my early breasts. I couldn't change any of these, so I had to grow some resilience early on. It seems like shaving a 7 year old's legs doesn't really solve the problem and just teaches the meanies that if they pick on something long enough, someone will change. But in my experience, they just shift the focus. Kid in my son's class was teased mercilessly for his long hair. (My son has long hair but never gets teased). Kid cut his hair, and they started teasing him for being a "crybaby" (which he is not, but kids, you know.) I think if kids find an easy target, they will keep picking at that scab. I would just wait out the winter and see what happens.[/quote]
