[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not the xxx we have experienced. xxx does not encourage or condone this. Were these girls involved friends before xxx or in the same social circle outside of xxx?  Meaning - if you took the same group and placed them in a different school most likely it would have happened there? It sounds like that is the case - more than this being the fault of xxx. [/quote]

You're right in that the behaviors are learned behaviors.  The behaviors were learned at home from their models and the girls adopted the behaviors, finding them successful.  There are several posts on this thread that have made observations tying the behavior of the girls to the behavior of their mothers.

Will the girls take their behaviors with them to a new school?  Yes, absolutely, because the girls have found these behaviors to be successful, they have no meaningful reason to change, and no attempt has been made to make them change.

However, to address your statement about the school.  The school in question, once discerning that there was a small nexus of girls with these learned behaviors, dropped the ball when the school did not move to address the behaviors.  Just as behaviors can be learned, they can be unlearned; just as habits can be formed, they can be unformed.  When the behaviors and habits were not addressed they were picked up by other girls and now the school has a much bigger problem.[/quote]
