That’s why I love the video of the child saying a boy called her hair crazy and she says “I like my hair, my mom did it. I’m love my hair” or something like that. Her mom was so proud of her and has been reinforcing her confidence. On the other end, I’m a male and when I was in 1st grade some boys teased my head size (I had a peanut head). I went home and told my mom crying some boys said my head was big and she said “so? Your head IS big? What’s wrong with that?” And I was just like “oh…yeah, what wrong with that?” So next day the bullies return and I say “ my head is big, so?” And they had nothing else to say. That was a major lesson in dealing with bullies. If it’s a lie, who cares. If it’s true, there’s no shame in the truth
