CRUEL TAUNTS CAN BE HELP

'HOW cruel young mOrtals be,
exclaims an awakened father, de-
scribing the anguish Of his daugh-
ter subjected to cruel jibes by her
classmates.
And how right he is.
It seems his 14-year-Old sub-deb
went to gym class wearing regula-
ton clothes which are pretty re-
vealing. What happens? Poor girl
has a spat with her best friend a
few days later and is startled by a
retaliation Of "hat-chested." Ever
since, the girl has been moody and
depressed and the entire family is
worrying for fear she will develop
q complex.
Could be. But how do you cope
with the situation inquiries the IA
ther?
Name calling Is not a new idea
as any Bible reader knows.
Girls whO've had the experience
of being on the Catherine Wheel
or thrown to the lions den in their
imaginations know it can be hor-
rible experience-at the time. But
now older and wiser they say u
only we'd laughed at the whole
thing--whO cares? What differ
ence does it make if the tongue
lashers call you chubby"
One girl tabled skinny" says q
thought I'd die at first and die
everything to gain weight, and theI
one day a friend of my mothers
said I wish ] had your figure ant
after that / sized the whole thlni
up-it was only the plump girli
who were Jealous"
A silver lining is almost Away
present when you are a target TO
a surly remark.
Take the girl who was iabele'
''buck teeth" by her friends. Sh
did something about it. A few Wis

in later years she turned out to b
