Being Bullied at School for Wearing a Bra: Parent Advice for Supporting Your Daughter
Let's be real, playgrounds are Harsh ! Let’s help your little one feel confident about wearing her first Bra.
The moment your daughter starts wearing a bra should be a positive milestone — a step towards growing up with pride and confidence. But unfortunately, some kids at school can be mean - super mean !
At teysha, we believe every girl deserves to feel comfortable and proud in her changing body. If your daughter is being teased or made to feel embarrassed about wearing a bra, here are some practical and emotional ways you can support her — and help her feel strong again.
Some times kids just want us to listen to them ! And listen without judgement, I mean it's hard to not hate Sarah after she has been mean to your own daughter! But let's Try our best to
- Stay calm and open even if you feel hurt or angry on her behalf
- Let her explain what happened in her own words
- Validate her feelings: “That sounds really hard” or “I’m so sorry that happened”
2. Reassure Her It’s Completely Normal
Make sure she knows that wearing a bra is normal and healthy, and nothing to be ashamed of.
- Explain that everyone develops at a different pace
- Some girls may be curious or insecure and act out through teasing
- Reinforce that growing up is nothing to hide it’s something to be proud of
3. Talk About the Power of Confidence
Even if she doesn’t feel it yet, talk about what it means to stand tall in the face of teasing.
- Help her practice body language that says “I’m not embarrassed” (even if she is)
- Remind her that the way others behave says more about them than it does about her
- Empower her with phrases she can say if teased, like “It’s just a bra everyone wears one eventually” or “I’m growing up, and that’s okay”
Confidence is a skill that can be learned and your support is the foundation.
4. Choose Bras That Make Her Feel Comfortable and Safe
- Look for soft, seamless bras that feel invisible under clothes
- Choose organic first bras that don’t irritate or draw attention
- Let her wear layers if it helps her feel more secure (like a tank top over her bra)
teysha bras are designed to be age-appropriate, organic, and comfortable so girls can feel good in their skin without worrying about judgment.
5. Talk to the School If Needed
If the teasing crosses a line into bullying, you may need to get involved.
Ask your daughter if she’s okay with you speaking to a teacher
- Approach the school calmly, with facts
- Request a gentle but clear message about body changes, respect, and kindness be shared with the class
6. Keep the Conversation Open
Let's face it this might not be a one time talk.
- Keep checking in: “How are you feeling about school today?”
- Revisit the topic in a light, casual way so she knows it’s okay to talk about it again
- Celebrate her resilience: “I’m so proud of how you handled that”
