Her classmates make fun of her and call her bugs-bunny because her teeth protruded. One day she came home crying uncontrollably, and she refused to talk to her mom or dad about what happened. After long persuasion, she opened up to her mom saying “I wish my teeth were OK too.” Alia is an example of a child whose self-esteem was undermined by an unfortunate teeth imperfection.
