I know what you mean
Quote From: shopchic My daughter was the red headed, freckeled little girl with a large space between her unusually big front teeth. She had a very hard time in school with the other girls teasing her. I cannot imagine if she had, had to come home to a mother that only reinforced what the others were saying. What about beauty that comes from within? Or the fact that personality far out weighs outward appearances. Daily as her mother I loved her dearly for the beautiful child that God had given me. In high school she was by far the most beautiful person not only inside but outside as well. She litterally grew up to be absolutly striking!
Wouldn't it have been horrible if I had pushed surgery upon her to change what was growing from within? And what would I have done to her self esteeme? Would she always think a drastic costly fix was the answer to lief's problems? Yup! i have a cousin who had really red hair and freckles and she was self-conscious about it. She grew up to be drop-dead gorgeous! Its sad to see kids go through teasing, but ,you know, if it wasn't their looks, it would be something else. There's just too many kids out there who believe they are 'levelling the playing field' when they do that. It's too bad the parents weren't smart enough to teach them better,huh?
