Your daughter nor you can stop the other students or other people from making derogatory comments or statements.
Some people seek attention be it negative or positive.
Your daughter should pretend not to hear them.
Although her hair growth is something she cannot control,
it may cause her to have low self-esteem because she may face difficulty in securing relationships.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one day in life she will encounter friends that accept her and not focus on her appearance. Children are very cruel. Telling her that appearances don't matter may not sit well with her while she is being bombarded by these attacks on a continuum.
Neet has a facial hair removal cream that my sister uses.
The hair does grow back within 7-10 days.
You can also search the web and for a professional that can remove the hair by laser surgery.
I have three hairs on the left side of my chin. I shaved them with a razor and now i have to shave every 5 days.
please do not shave your daughter's hair.
if you can not afford to have the hair removed by laser or electrolysis,make an appointment to see a dermatologist.
Dermatologists remove warts and moles. They may be able to remove the hair.
My heart goes out to your daughter.

I know lot of women that have to wax their lips due to excessive hair. I have never waxed my lip so I am not going to set here and say do it, because it looks painful. The thing is we don't have a choice of what body we have. We can either just live with how things are or we can change it. There are allot of hair removal products just remember that the face is a sensitive area. (this coming from someone who has to shave everyday).You may even be able to find a solution by googling "facial hair removal". Hope this helps and good luck.

I don't see the big deal, but to each his/her own. Why is she on medication for facial hair? She's a teenager & her hormones will change. You may actually be preventing her from having her own natural body chemical changes because of this medication. There's waxing, there's depilation, there's electrolysis.... forget the medication. Unless there's a really really good medical reason why she SHOULD be on medication, you should always try other alternatives not so altering to her system.

Children can be so cruel, and anything they perceive as different they jump on. Belive it or not your daughter will survive all the hateful remarks and be toughened by them, she who laughs last laughs best, which is the case of your daughter. I feel for her because it's not her fault, and all the childish remarks by her friends and school mates says then need to grow up which doesn't do your daughter's situation any good. Hang in there, just as soon as she can laugh at her problem too, she'll do all right. Okay!

You can't get them to stop teasing her but why don't you let her wax it or bleach it at least? It won't hurt her (unless she's allergic) and she'll feel much better about herself. It really is a small thing, Mom. Why not let her do it? Take her to a salon, they can do it safely and professionally. You can buy wax and depilatories for the face, as well as bleaches. She will be a lot happier.

Maybe this is a dumb question but why not just remove the facial hair. It would save her a lot of grief.

Maybe she can come up with a funny comeback to the nasty things they say. If they see it doesn't bother her (even though it does) they might stop teasing as much.

That's how children are, I don't think she could say or do something to stop them, but teach her to ignore them, they might stop if they see it doesn't matter to her. I know it's not an easy thing to do, but she must try, it could be the only way.

well im 13, one of my best friends has that problem, and is on medication to.
in the end, she told the guy who were bullying her to stop, and that one day she will come back with no hair. [it was about 2weeks ago] and are nearly gone.
