Hi y'all, I'm really worried about my 15 year old daughter Joanna. This morning, while we were in the shower, I was french braiding Joanna's hair and saw scratch marks on her little nubbies. I'm really worried that she may be getting teased by the other girls at school. Should I contact the principal?

First, I don't get the correlation between the scratches and being teased. It seems more likely that she would have gotten them from a boyfriend than from other girls teasing her.Secondly, why in the hell are you in the shower with your fifteen year old daughter?! Maybe I just don't get it. Are you from a country where you have to bathe together to save water?

no offense but its a little weird that you were taking a shower with your 15yr old daughter. Then again if you are that close to her then you should just ask her about it. Talk to her first, maybe its something totally different. You should get the facts before running to the principle and embarrassing her by having her come to the office with all the girls you think might be teasing her. Plus it will just make things work.
How is she suppose to grow as a person if you are always fighting her battles? Let her tell you what happened then tell her she needs to inform the principle.

This is kind of hard to answer... did you ask her what happened? While the school should be alerted, and measures taken to prevent it if it is teasing... if it's a small school, it may make it worse... First thing you should do is TALK TO HER... it may be something completely different... or something she doesn't wish you to step in on. It may get worse if you do nothing also.. you have to explain that to her... but trust your daughters instinct on the matter.. if it recurs, then it's time to take action, before serious injury occurs... and you and her should speak with the counselor at the school if possible.

Have you tried discussing this with her?
Teasing is not the only way scratches can appear...
It could've been an animal she was holding.
It could've been a strong, perhaps dangerous, form of intamacy.
It could be a number of things and while bullying/teasing is one of them, I wouldn't start something at the school, unless you have other reasons to believe it did.
Again, talk this over with her...and not as in casual conversation in the car. Take her aside, perhaps at home or if in the car pull over to a parking lot and tell her you have some serious things to discuss with her.

Being in the shower with your 15 yr. old daughter is just wrong
to begin with . Give her some alone time or she will have more problems down the road than scratches !
In my book this behavior is unexceptable behavior on your part .

What the hell are you doing showering with you 15 year old? You should make a phone call all right but not to the school.

have you asked her what happened? maybe you should ask her first. if she's in a relationship it may be an abusive boyfriend...she could of ran into a bad group of people and gotten in a fight...she could be doing it to herself also...but if you suspect she's getting teased by other girls at school ask her how school is for her...how was her day...ask her friends maybe, but dont pry too much...and if that doesnt get you anywhere then you should contact the school or police and setup a conference about the situation! good luck! =)

dam i don't know why you would be in the shower with a 15 yr old first of all ,and if her "nubbies" were scratched then she should be able to tell you how that happen herself.

I find it quite alarming that you are showering with your 15 year old daughter in the first place.
