    Advocacy Letter
    8b

    Principal Schuler,

    I am writing this letter to share with you a situation regarding one of our students about a subject that
    affects many in the student body. Teasing and bullying.

    The specific student I refer to is Julia R. She is in Mrs. Winters 2nd grade class. I have been her reading
    leader since the beginning of the school year. She is a perky little 7yo girl, kind to her classmates and
    likes to read. In my reading group she is always the first to volunteer to read out loud.

    Lately I have noticed a change in her behavior. She is moody and is staying away from the girls she
    usually chats with and plays with at recess. I have also noticed that she is not so quick to volunteer to
    read, her perky smile is weak and she often seems on the verge of tears, especially after coming from
    recess. I started observing during recess and discovered that her friends are teasing her. Julie will not
    tell me why but one of the girls piped up and said something about Julia having a unibrow.

    Her eyebrows are quite thick and do tend to grow together. I talked with the girls and let them know
    that teasing others because of their looks was not a very kind thing to do and encouraged them to treat
    others the way they would want to be treated, reminding them of the school rules about being kind to
    each other.

    It was only the other day at a local spa that I realized the extent this teasing is having on Julia. Her
    mother brought her in to get her brows waxed! Julia is only 7 years old and already they are waxing her
    brows because of the overwhelming teasing she is getting. Her mother and I spoke privately about it
    and she informed me that the teasing has been going on for a while and that this seemed be the best
    option to deal with it.

    It seems a shame to me that this little girl has to go to this extent to stop all the teasing. I am hoping
    that you/we can do something on a grander scale to help bring to light the effects teasing and bullying
    can have on students. Perhaps an all school assembly or even a classroom to classroom approach would
    be helpful. I think the girls that are doing the teasing should be address more directly. Perhaps there is
    some activity we can get them involved with that would show them people with differences have
    feelings too.

    I dont want to humiliate anyone I just think we need to address perhaps a bit more pro-actively.

    Thank you for listening to my concerns
