She has mentioned in her letters that she doesn't do well in school and she doesn't think she is pretty. She thinks her sister is pretty. She is worried she is not pretty enought to be a flight attendant (her dream) which is my job an why I am her penpal. Is this normal for a young Thai girl to say? In the United States if a girl said this to me I would be very worried about self esteem issues. She sent me her photo. What should I say? I know that things I would say to a girl in the United States might be wrong or insulting to a young girl in Thailand.
Any ideas? And anything that I should NEVER NEVER say? Basically our correspondance is soooooo simple. Just about school, pets, learning English and becomming a flight attendant.
Thanks
I think its probably EVERY Thai girls' dream to be a FA in Thailand. They don't call it Flight Attendant though... its Air Hostress here... In order for Thai ladies to succeed in the interviews they need TOEFL score of at least 500 (i think). She'll also need at least a Thai University degree... Every FA interviews, there're bound to be thousands of applicants turning up so the competition is very tough....

She's only 14 now.... i guess u can advise her to study hard and learn her english... which of cos u're already doing.... additonal foreign language will help especially Mandarin or Japanese....

cheers
