[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so glad I have only middle school boys.  No drama at all!  I get that this kind of thing can happen to boys, too, but... Can you picture dudes in their 40s and 50s writing five pages of comments about every possible scenario with this?

There are mean girls and sometimes that streak does not ever go away![/quote]

I have both and I think boys can be just as hurtful, their methods are just different.

The boys get involved in the drama too.[/quote]

I mean sure, they can be hurtful.  But 40 years later, are dads on message boards telling strangers "get off your high horse, get over it" etc on and on for pages about this type of an issue?  There is just something about girl drama, it seems to be pervasive throughout life.[/quote]

No, because men are taught to just swallow this kind of hurt and then they manifest their pain in other ways, like suicide, substance abuse, or other acts of violence upon themselves or others.  My son was really really hurt in middle/early high school over some exclusionary drama like this, and we just never knew because he just took it all and shoved it down deep.  We had no idea until he out of the blue told us one night that he was feeling suicidal.  [/quote]
