I was talking to my friend's daughter who is a freshman at the local high school and she was telling me about some of the things that are said to her bc of her size. I nearly fell over. I told her that she just needs to walk away from these people and if they continue to harass her, to go to the principal's office and tell them. This is affecting her GPA and she might not enter the tenth grade in the fall.

I had a niece stop going to high school in Illinois after the second month of being a freshmen. She called me and and asked if her and her mom could move to Oklahoma. Two years later and in school in Oklahoma, she's a B student.
My point is, kids are cruel to other kids and sometimes it'll affect some kids more than others.
I'll say a little prayer that things go quite well. I hope she has tons of fun and brings back mega pictures for you to share with us.
