![]() Please… I need advice! I’ve never had to go to the school for any big issue like this, for any of my daughters, and I’m so lost. I’m going to see if I can find her a therapist in our area to help with her anxiety as well as this bullying (sexual harassment? Would it count as SH?! It feels like it does but I’m her mom and I could be overreacting?) How can I help my daughter in the meantime? And what can I do at the school to help make sure this kid never even looks at my daughter again?! What I want to do is have a meeting with that boy and his mother and make him look us in the eye as he repeats the vile shit he said to my daughter, and ask him if he feels big and powerful for making a girl have lifelong body image issues, but my daughter thinks that would just make it worse and that’s the last thing I want to do. She’s an anxious little thing which is just making this entire situation much worse. I took her out Friday and got her some new push-up type bras and a new sports bra, took her out for ice cream, and tried to comfort her as best I could, but obviously she is still horribly upset and embarrassed. My daughter has been devastated all weekend. They told him we could follow up Tuesday when school resumes from the long weekend. While waiting for dad she talked to her counselor, and when my husband got there he told an office personnel what happened and told them something must be done. After class she ran to the bathroom and started bawling where she called me and told me what happened, so I had her go to student services while I called her dad to see if he could leave work to pick her up. She says she was so stunned she didn’t say anything back because she was trying so hard not to cry. He told her she has “saggy grandma titties” and other horrible things like, “I bet if you weren’t wearing a bra your titties would be dragging on the floor.” Most of the entire class was laughing along with him as she started tearing up. My daughter and a couple of her friends were talking about trying out for the cheerleading squad next week, when this kid butted in and said, “Good! We need some hot cheerleaders!” My daughter, being the sassy kid she is, said, “Ain’t nobody wanna cheer for your team bro.” And that set him OFF. I really thought we were making some headway on the insecurities this year but then Friday happened and now I don’t even know what to do.įriday she was in one of her classes after lunch, the kids weren’t really doing anything so they were just hanging out for a few minutes towards the end of class. I feel so bad that she got my body type because I know how horribly insecure I was as a teen and that’s the last thing I wanted for my oldest girl. I’ve reassured her that it’s completely normal, and that the rest of her body will catch up, and yada yada, but obviously she’s still very insecure about her breasts. Since they grew so so quickly, her skin had trouble keeping up with the breast tissue growth so she has some stretch marks and they’re a little oddly shaped right now. I wasn’t surprised because I went through the same thing in middle school, but it affected her a lot especially since she’s basically the only girl in the entire middle school with such large breasts so she gets stared at and taunted quite often. She went from a training bra to a 38DD within 6 months. I don’t know how to even begin trying to correct the damage of this incident.Ī little relevant info: my 12yo daughter developed very quickly after she got her period last year. ![]() If this isn’t the right place for this, please let me know where would be a good place to post because I need help.
