[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a 10 year old girl anecdote from this afternoon at the pool:

My 6 yo daughter was swimming while a small group of 10 year old girls were also swimming. I was on the deck and the girls were lovely and polite to us adults nearby and each other. Another group of 10ish yo girls arrived and went straight to the locker room. A while later, I met my daughter in the locker room shortly after she walked there to change.

When I walked in, the girls from the pool had joined the other girls and there were 8-10 10ish year old girls in the locker room shrieking, opening and shutting stall doors and changing room curtains, throwing soap from the dispensers, and throwing down Otter Pop wrappers. I called my daughter’s name because I couldn’t see her.

One of the girls mocked me- 3 feet away from me but in a spot where she thought I couldn’t see her- shrieking my daughter’s name and laughing. The other girls were lunging toward changing room curtains and about to whip open the one where my daughter was changing.

I shut that sh-t down so fast, and immediately thought of this thread. Tweens are wild pack animals and should be kept in captivity only and in groups of 4, max.[/quote]

Are you sure they weren't older than 10?  I have a ten year old. For one, she would never be unsupervised at a pool with a large group of friends. Usually if you see groups of kids hanging in packs like that at the pool, they're middle school aged.  I.e., puberty and rebellion.[/quote]
