+1, and my interpretation is that she is not talking about a general stereotype of volleyball players but the reputations of the girls who play volleyball at the school your kids attend.

It really does suck if your younger daughter is great at volleyball and likes it, but the team has a toxic culture. I'd definitely want more information to find out if there is any truth to it. Maybe it was just one cohort who was around at the same time as your older DD, and now it's better. Or maybe the culture sucks, but there are things you can do to insulate your younger DD from it if she continues to play.[/quote]

We did talk about it. And my kids are young teens, so, at the risk of being hypocritical, they are prone to generalizations and "facts" in ways that adults often aren't.[/quote]
