[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My unpopular opinion is most of these girls aren’t actually “mean.” “Mean girl” is what they get called by the moms who are intimidated by and hate their moms and transfer it to the daughters. [/quote]

Agree.  I always roll my eyes when I see these posts.  The “mean girls” are just girls that aren’t interested in OP’s daughter.  Nothing mean is actually happening.  Same with the moms.  Is another mom really being “mean” to you at school drop off? C’mon.  So dumb.  [/quote]

And there are always posts like yours to roll my eyes at. You just cannot believe there are girls who don’t want to be friends with the mean girls. They just want the mean girls to go away.

Oh..so their kid is harassing yours out of no where? And their mom is also singling you out and harassing you? Right [/quote]

Kids absolutely do harass other kids "out of nowhere." It happens all the time. My DD had a kid who used to just follow her around on the playground and, if she tried to play or speak, would scream at her. He wasn't even in her class or grade, she didn't even know his name. He just latched onto her and started harassing her.

Now, do I think that's some horrible kid who should be written off? No, I think he needs some help and interventions, that he's probably seeking out connection and friendship and just doesn't have the skills to do it, and for some reason my DD caught his eye. But this sort of thing is not uncommon and it needs to be addressed. Telling my DD "just ignore him" or to have empathy because he obviously has issues? It doesn't resolve the situation. And I've seen it with mean girl behavior, too, especially with group behaviors where a group of girls will start teasing or harassing a lone other kid. Yes it comes out of nowhere. Yes it needs to be addressed.[/quote]

Ok, but this is not what OP is talking about when she refers to “mean girls”  and you know that.  What you are describing is a disturbed kid. [/quote]

No. What she is describing is a mean girl. That you think otherwise is troubling. Guess we know which type your kid is.[/quote]
