[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the mean girl behavior is much more prevalent in schools with a high percentage of UMC girls.  My DD does to a high FARMS school (but we are UMC) and says there are no “mean girls” or “popular girls” type groups.  It is a very diverse group of kids and they all manage to get along [/quote]

If your daughter tells you all middle school girls in her school are getting along that is a red flag she may be the one that is mean.

This is true. A lot of mean girls discover that a kind of practiced obliviousness works to their advantage. "I don't know, all of my friends are always supportive and kind and I've never noticed any competition or hurtful behavior" is a way of saying that it's the girls who complain of mean girl behavior who must be the problem.

Ha! You're right. At an anti bullying talk some of the parents attended, I heard my DD's 5rd grade bully pipe up and tell everyone that their elementary had not bullying, like there is no way those things happen here. My DD who was sitting with her class looked over at me. I think we both inwardly rolled our eyes.[/quote]
