Aibu to feel gutted for her? She gets them from me. She’ll give them a wee pluck in the middle when she’s ready, or not, and be happy with them, like I am. Same girl told her her legs are too hairy too. She does have very hairy legs. The comments are clearly designed to upset my daughter.
Her friend can be horrible. She isn’t her bestie but they spend time together every week as they do a long activity together. The friend has always been dismissive of my daughter and fair weather and sometimes plain rude. My daughter used to be quite a wallflower but has blossomed in every way, she’s very pretty and become quite popular too. But these comments really upsetting her and I think her insecurity both about herself and ‘fighting back’ stems from her days less confident. She said sometimes the friend just goes ‘name’ and points to between her eyebrows. I am red hot fuming just writing this.
My daughter won’t fight back. She says she doesn’t want to tease her in return. She says if she says something the friend won’t give a shit. What should I do? Tell her mum? Tell the school? Or just tell my daughter to put up with it, as she clearly won’t say anything herself (she told me tonight but said it’s been going on ages). is this a normal right of passage? I had massive brows, never received any comments from friends (to my face at least!). I don’t remember anyone making such openly horrible comments about someone’s personal features.
