[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 teenage girls.  They are not mean.  They are kind and quiet girls.  They intentionally avoid mean girls.  From my observation, it seems that most of the "mean girl" behavior is in the most popular circles which my girls are not part of.

I will say this.  My girls are not proactively mean but they have developed a survival instinct to fight back against mean girls that pick on other girls, basically learning to fight fire with fire.  Even though I'm proud of them for doing that, it makes me sad at the same time.  [/quote]

My Asian boy is not an angle, but overall he is a nice boy. He also learns to fight back against some mean boys growing up since K at public school. He has learned to ignore, argue back, push back, and report to teachers. It is sad, but DH calls it survival skills that he has learned and developed to help him for not to be targeted or get bullied. We came back from a culture that good kids are those to earn good grades and well mannered, expected by teachers and parents. The kid social friendship dynamic here is too complexed and too complicated for me to understand.
