[quote=Anonymous]Some of these comments seem extreme to me. Mean girl behavior persists, sure, but I think it often peaks in 7th or 8th grade (at least that was my experience over several years as a camp counselor - always the most drama in the 12-13 year old cabin!). The women I’ve surrounded myself with in high school, college, grad school and adulthood have largely been supportive - but I had little tolerance for the drama queens and mostly just avoid them. In the workplace, my female colleagues have mostly been amazingly supportive. While I think it’s helpful to be aware of queen bee types (and avoid the), I think it does us all a disservice to just say “that’s how women are everywhere.” Its hard to avoid in middle school, but help your daughter find it elsewhere![/quote]
