In all seriousness, I would say it starts in 3rd.

+1 yeah I think 2nd/3rd grade is when we notice things went from oh they’re just kids who haven’t been socialized well to oh look this is who the mean kids are.

+ 2. While there was some mean girl behavior in preschool, 2nd grade is when I heard moms start being horrified by things that were coming out of their daughters' mouths. I'm grateful to the ones who were horrified and put a stop to it.

Yes. The moms who pull their kids back when limits are tested are worth their weight in gold.

And this is why we don't say things like "one mean comment isn't bullying" when it comes to disciplining kids for mean comments. Generally, where there's smoke, there's fire, especially if you don't douse the spark before it blows up.
