[quote=Anonymous]In our school it played out like this: Alpha, the popular girl, her Bf Beta and everyone else was a little gamma. Alphas mom would do ANYTHING to push her DD forward (PTA, room mom, live at the school fund raise, buy ridiculously expensive outfits and adult trends -- an dance mom worthy performance). Alpha, over a period of years went from being a nice, likable girl to a mean, bossy and  sour girl. Beta, her side kick was the "nice one", as she had Alpha doing the bossing and rule setting. The little Gammas ran around trying to please the two of them. Of course, the mothers did not love having their DDs be in 3rd place with these two girls so there was lots of mother daughter talks about how "just because Alpha says she is better than you doesn't mean she is" and so forth.
Finally all the little gammas got together and formed their own friendships. Once in awhile we see Alpha who still tries to be mean and bossy, but the former gammas just turn away. Beta seems like a very insincere flattering girl. But he two of them have each other. The gammas say, oh she's not popular anymore. They are all older now.
I think it all would have gone better if the mom had stayed out of it.[/quote]
