Bullying is awful and so hard to handle. T even had to deal with some this year and she’s almost 14. Sad thing is, it never fully goes away and no matter how old you are you can always find a bully in the crowd. Tell Ki I said keep her chin up! 😉

Kids can be mean spirited at times. I’m learning that raising my two boys. They come home on various occassion saying someone said this or this for the matter. Nothing majorly big but kids just being kids. I try to comfort them and tell them to brush it off because at the time the kids probaly had nothing better to do.

There’s nothing wrong with her hairstyle. Those are just kids TRYING to find some fault within her because she is so FAB! Keep the hairstyle if she likes it. In fact maybe they want it too!

In reply to Cindy. You are right.... I do feel pain for my child when she is picked on like this, but at the same time I know if she doesn't get taught by her parents to handle these type of hard situations that are not hitting the true "too much bullying" line then as an adult it will be hard for her to deal with real life. Even as adults we get laughed at and picked on but having the skills to stand up and stick up for yourself in those times and be confident in who you are will certainly pay off. I hope that is what I will be teaching my kids to be; confident in who they are!

In reply to Miss RJ. Thanks Miss RJ! I believe in allowing children to figure out who they are with guidance and support from their parents, of course I make mistakes who doesn't? But I hope to get it good enough so the kids are well rounded and great adults!

I think Ki’s hair looks adorable. And what matters most is that she likes it too. Before people said anything and especially after. I agree with you – this wasn’t Ki being bullied but kids just being mean.
