5 year old wants to shave legs due to bullying.

I'm feeling so sad. I was just on the /r/parenting subreddit and a mom posted that her daughter requested to have hair removed from her legs. I'm blown away by the number of people telling her she should have the hair removed. I was a hairy little girl, myself. I had a couple of kids remark on the amount of hair on my arms and legs. I recall that I just told them I was half Italian and that's how Italians are.

The mom said other girls were bullying her. I think the problem is with the other little girls, not the 5-year-old making the request.

I'm curious about the response on this subreddit. What do you all think?
