I was picked on in the early 80's also for my height(or lack of it anyway) so I also remember what it was like.

Yes, I do know that the diehard bullies will ALWAYS find something to pick on other kids about. With regards to my stepdaughters predicament, once she stopped with the big white panties she was picked on far less than before. It MIGHT have something to do with the fact that she's 5' 6" and 170 lbs. She's quite capable of dealing with most of the teasing by standing up for herself. It was the underwear issue that was really tearing her up. Can't really figure out why but I'm just happy that her self image has improved somewhat.

I do agree that 12 is too young, maybe even 14 in my opinion.....it makes for a tough decision when it affects your childs emotional health. The proverbial rock and a hard place.
