[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a division of the cooler prettier girls during the teen years.

I remember going to middle school and I had a good friend drop me for the cool popular crowd. I made new friends who were equally pretty and nice but we didn’t hang out with boys. The friend who acted like she no longer knew me was basically recruited by the cool boys. I never thought of my friend as mean. [/quote]

This is true but in IME the cooler, prettier girls have endless drama and don’t do well in school because they are focused on the social scene and not studies. [/quote]

Inaccurate stereotyping.[/quote]

True. The cool kids are sometimes (often?) not that attractive. But I’ve yet to see a queen bee type group that doesn’t have drama.[/quote]

You'd have to wonder what you did wrong as a parent if your child is obsessed with being friends with the queen bee. Find a different friends group. [/quote]

Oh I wouldn’t touch the queen bee group! They are all frenemies! I was simply pointing out most of them are objectively not cute.[/quote]
