Don't overdo it with trying to build her self-confidence. If it's too overt, she might think you feel bad for her and what your saying isn't honest, it's just pity. You can only affect someone so much. I don't think you can do much in this situation, but it's good that you tried.
People are ignorant, she should ignore them. But you can't force her to.
I'll pray for her.

What's wrong with people saying that you are poor? Tell your friend that these materialistic idiots will soon get bored of teasing her if she just goes with it. People only ever continue to tease other people if they are getting a reaction.

Tell all those people to shut up, its not that big of a deal!! Tell her not to care about what they say and everything, they're just rude.

Tell the people to shove it! (lol, don't really do it) but tell them that she isn't close to being poor at all and that she is a good person no matter how much money she has, maybe if you stick up for her and tell the people who are teasing her what you feel it can sheer her up, knowing that you really really do care!

Well you need to tell her what counts. Tell her money DOESN'T matter anywhere near compared to attitude. In life if you don't have a kind heart, and a sweet attitude, you will get NO where. Those people wind up poor, cause no1 wants to work with that, deal with that, and pay people like that. Plus people who have less appreciate everything so much more. Maybe it looks good to be "rich" but really they're never satisfied, people with less appreciate even the small stuff. Plus, tell her anyone who can't except her for who she is obviously lacks security otherwise they wouldn't pick on her, they'd find something else ta do. Good Luck hun ! xox

tell her and anyone thats saying it that she isn't poor. she knows she's not poor and thats all that matters. she doesn't need to put up with that crap.

thats also like harasment and stuff. you can go to a school concillor because thats illegal (in Massachusetts anyway). She can't be treated differently by anyone because of something she can't help, especially if its not true.
