im a 26year old dad. my daughter will be 3 in july.
i have one younger sister and she is 13 years old. i dont live with her anymore so she messages me on facebook. i just got a message from her that she needs someone to talk to. and when i reply she starts saying that her classes start soon and that she is stressed because she have nothing. i tell her not to care about what others say. i know she is teased for knowing english better than her native language. she then tells me that shes crying because she equally dont care and equally cares. and that shes afraid of what her classmates will say because she just got a random bag with no cute notebooks. she isnt at all ready for school and it starts next monday.
i dont know how to help my sister and i dont know what's wrong with her.

tell her your there for her and that it doesnt matter what other people think of her. my friend is from mexico and their parents speak spanish, but since they practice english often, they know it better than spanish. if it's at its worst point, it can only get better :)
ReplyHi Sorry to hear your sister is sturggling.
I suggest she speak to someone at school. A teacher or counsellor if they have one. Someone she feels comfortable to talk to her. Tell her it is important she reaches out to someone and not hide how she feels. It will only get worse.
ReplyIf you can, then maybe go and visit her. I’m not saying before Monday necessarily, but just in general. Take time to go and visit her because if I were her, it would mean a lot. People bully others when they can do something better than they can and in this case, her English is just better than theirs. People can be so mean sometimes. Just reassure her that no matter what they say and what happens, that you’ll be there for her and that you’ll be by her side through it all. Just let her feel that you’re someone she can lean on and go to.
ReplyVisit her, talk to her, give her a tight hug, and help her get things she wants to .
Things will go out well!
ReplySocial anxiety. Since you are not in the social circle in question you can do nothing but advise. Perhaps build some self confidence but that'd take awhile, so a quick fix is change her perspective (luckily kids are easier than adults for this). You need to get her to see what others see, tease her because they feel inferior, why a fancy notebook is irrelevant in personal relationships but to some it's all they have (pointing out she has 'more'). Finally people believe what they see.. you act confident and you are perceived so, teach her to act as she wants to be perceived.
