What should I do about this girl in middle school?

Well, this girl from my fifth grade class is going to make a TOTAL fool of herself. She wore a barbie nightgown to school on pajama day and is addicted with the Winz Club. She’s small enough to fit in Gymoree and she wears it. I don’t see anything wrong with that, it’s what SHE’S into but I feel bad because I don’t want the upperclassmen to tease her about it. I don’t know her too personally but… what should I do?

That’s a difficult thing for anyone. However in my opinion, you should leave her be. There are 2 main reasons I say this.

#1 By letting her do this as she wants, it allows her to express HERSELF, which in turn lets her growin different ways then you are able to as her teacher. You never know, her dressing this way as a child, could lead her to a career in the fashion industry when she is older.

#2 I know it is hard to watch someone be picked on, knowing if you had done something, they may not be picked on. But I feel some times being picked on as a child truely helps a person grow to an adult. I know in grade school and although way up to high school (although around 7th grade I started doing it on purpose) I was almost always being picked on. But I have found that it truely has helped me as an adult. I am able to handle criticism better then most other people I know. I have learned how to seperate personal from professional life. I feel those two major (and difficult lessons) for adults, I learned early on in life becuase of being picked on.

You can’t be her protector, she has to learn to protect herself, and in all honesty, how can you be sure she doesn’t know exactly what she is doing?

Let it happen. It’s important for people to learn social lessons on their own. It’s just a part of growing up. Sheltered people tend to fail socially or have problem later in life as a result of not having those types of experiences at a young age.

My question to you is, why are you concerned with “helping” someone that you don’t knwo personally? I guess you could just be a genuinely nice person. I’m a cynic….

Never fall into being someone you’re not! If this girl likes being this way then power to her. Later on in life you might respect her ‘bravery’. If anything, I encourage you to be strong. If you ever hear of anyone teasing her, or anyone for that matter, you should stick up for them. I know you might feel embarressed and might not want to, but you will love yourself later for it.

if her bday is coming up give her some nice clothes in her size or give her a gift card to a good place with kids clothes. If her bday isn’t coming just give it to her as a little gift.

first make a new id on yahoo, but don’t tell it to ANYONE. then PRINT out a letter to give to her. in the letter you write about what you think about her, and that you want to help her. also mention this NEW email address, so that she can communicate with you, and no one will come to know that it is you who is helping her. this will be helpful, as, if you will talk to her or in any way let her know that it is you, then she might get angry to what you say and she may embarrass you.

DONOT write your name in the letter or give any hint who you are.

ps : its a bit long advice, but i hope it’ll be helpful to you.

please focus on the CAPITALISED words
