[quote=Anonymous]Wow. Reading this is like someone observed my 8th grade year back in 1994-95. My child is in 5th grade but if I think of the 8th graders at her school, almost everything you're describing rings quite true. The part that I'm especially fascinated is the dynamic of alpha girls finding and replacing their sidekicks. I hadn't realized it until you articulated it. Girls at that age are experimenting with power in a way that takes me back to 1st/2nd grade girl drama, except that they have pocket money, dress themselves, and are self-aware. It's a little scary. On the bright side, most of them will be quite humbled next year.[/quote]
