[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster who said we are getting caught up in semantics. Who cares if it's a girl being mean or "mean girl" behavior as described by Tina Fey? Yes, of course we need to consider the age of the child. Of course their developmental level is part of the equation when it comes to intent. I don't understand the implication that we need to have empathy for a 6 year old who behaves badly, but not a 16 year old? We need to have empathy for everyone and understand where they are coming from, obviously. Way more important is how the hurt child is being treated and how to overcome it. OP is not going to yell at her neighbor, "Your DD is a mean girl!" so what is the point of this conversation? She's not framing it in her mind exactly as you would? It's a very immature way of thinking.[/quote]
