[quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one disgusted and outraged at the idea that OP shouldn't say anything for fear of the mean girls laughing or making things worse for her DD? I understand why some PPs are saying this, but I don't think I could stay silent, regardless of whether it was my DD they were talking about. Those girls were being jerks. Why shouldn't their behavior get called out? Otherwise you're giving a bunch of 13 year old mean girls all the power. Will it make a difference to say anything? Maybe, maybe not. Will it make it worse for your DD? Maybe, maybe not. I guess it comes down to: are we trying to teach our kids to stand up for what's right and to speak up for others, even if it's unpopular? Or are we teaching them to stay quiet and go along to get along? It starts with the adults. OP's DD might be mortified at her mom saying something to the girls, but I think it would be worse if it somehow got out that OP overheard and did nothing to defend her DD. [/quote]
