My daughter is 16, Dark blonde hair, pretty blue eyes, maybe 10 lb over weight, but still quiet curvy. Yesterday, a boy in one of her classes, said to her,
"You're ugly". The other boys that were at the table said, "You don't say that to a girl... Not to her face." The jerk said, "I've just got the ba*** to say it, and ya'll don't."
She has taken it to heart, as most girls would. And is also under a lot of pressure right now with UIL solo coming up this weekend and just found out yesterday that the choir teacher is going to have her practice in front of the other 73 people in the choir (sophomores to seniors). She now not only feels that she is inadaquite to be a soloist, but also feels ugly. How can I help her and what should I suggest she say or do about the hateful boy? Her step dad has always thought that she was a pretty girl, even from the first time he saw her. And everyone that I know her thinks that she's pretty. Not beautiful, but certainly not ugly.
