Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions ladies. Well I guess I do need to address this based on what you ladies are saying. I'm not sure how, maybe I'll do something in our Black History month assembly. Or I was considering starting a girls group, I may just go ahead w/ it.
This is so true. Alot of the girls wear weaves. I'm not anti-weave but when everybody is wearing them all the time, something is wrong. And I know most of them aren't wearing them to grow their hair out.
This is how I feel about our hair. I wish I could effectively communicate this to them. The little girl who started that conversation had a bad relaxer with a little piece of a ponytail hanging out.
That is freaking crazy. Kids fighting because of somebody's long hair. What is wrong w/us?
Unfortunately, we live in an era where young girls' self-image is influenced so heavily by what they see in music videos and the like. Beyonce's hair and whatit represents has become the holy grail for them. Thinking aboutthose girls just makes my so sad inside, it really does. The most I know to do is lead by example and try to lay a solid foundation for for 2 DDs while they're still young.

Ladies, we really have to get the word out.....seriously.
Little girls still growing up with these complexes is ridiculous.
I had complexes about my hair too when I was little mostly because of the taunting I got from other students for being the dreaded type 4.
We have the information, we gotta pay it forward, each one teach one.
Hair is one of the things that make us unique, its so closely tied to self-esteem.
I would definitely talk to those girls.
Let's pay it forward.

I had a girl try to fight me because I wouldn't let her play with my hair, does that count?
