Audio

Mum: Andrea, you look sad.

Are you okay?

Andrea: Not really. Some girls were really

mean to me in class.

Mum: Really? How come?

Andrea: Because of my hair. Look, it’s too

short now! They made me feel awful!

Mum: Don’t listen to them, Andrea.

People will always judge you because

of your appearance. But if you like it,

then that’s what really matters.

Andrea: But I don’t really like it. I

wanted it to be a bit shorter, but the

hairdresser cut too much off.

Mum: Well I think it looks great. And it

will grow very quickly. I’ve got an idea

– let’s buy you a headband and some

nice new hair clips. They will look

great in your hair.

Andrea: Okay, but I’m sure these girls

won’t stop bullying me.

Mum: Listen, this is what you’re going to

do. When you go to school, be proud

of your look. You are beautiful, and

it doesn’t matter what other people

think, or say.

Andrea: But they are really scary.

Mum: Then you have to be confident.

Don’t show them any signs of

weakness. If they say something rude,

just tell them that you like your look

and that you are happy with it. Don’t

show you’re scared.

Andrea: Ok mum, I’ll try. And if it doesn’t

work, what should I do?

Mum: If things get worse, talk to your

teachers. Tell them what’s going on.

I’m sure they’ll be able to help you.

Andrea: Okay. So can we go to the mall

now to buy my new headband?

Mum: Ok, let’s go!
