As I posted in another thread, I was 6" in elementary school.....size 10 feet....glasses....crappy, fine white blonde hair....skinny as all heck!

My parents never lost me on the beach in Hawaii!

Played and excelled in basketball and swimming....had great parents.....

I'm 45 now and get hit on daily.

Yeah, keep telling her that she is beautiful, get her into sports or a hobby, maybe a small school....be a great Dad!

She'll be okay!
