Ok, so I am an aunt and I am writing this because of a disturbing conversation I had today regarding my neice with my sister.
My neice, 5, has a speech impediment. She is introverted, and very much the sporty/rough n tumble type (not at all the girly-girl, or dress up type). Despite her roughness around the edges she is very sweet, shy, and wouldnt hurt a fly.
She has just started kindergarten this year. I regret to find out she has been being bullied at school. This one boy hits her in the face (twice), steals her toys and throws them, and speaks to her appaulingly (this boy, also 5, tells her she must have slept with the school! Can you imagine! they are both 5 years old!!!).
One day, my sister caught her trying to put on makeup (very out of character) as to not appear "ugly".
My sister has already spoken to the teacher who has advised my neice to stay away from the boy. The teacher is young and inexperienced. My neice sometimes comes home crying and is upset. Cont'd...
