[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's an example of mean girls in the workplace...I worked with almost all women, our boss was a man. One woman was super hot and posted on her Instagram page (which I didn't follow) a picture of her in a white bathing suit with her legs spread apart and an emoji over the crotch area. Ok, not the most professional but also this had nothing to do with work.

One of the "mean girls" ran into my office and thrust this in my face and was like can you believe what Janice put on her Instagram? This mean girl was like the lieutenant to another woman coworker and they were always scheming to bring the other women down, they had been discussing how they could use this picture against Janice and tried to get me into that. I ended up quitting that job because I couldn't handle the drama (and got a better offer) but they do exist.

OP, sorry about your daughter. The best cure for mean girls is to find real friends, regardless of who they are. In my dd's middle school the mean girls' parents seem to be the ones who are eager for the girls to stay in this group, even though one mom called the group "vicious." Once you stop carrying about who is popular and go for who likes you for who you are then real friendships are made. I have a MS daughter so get that it is easier said than done.[/quote]

Ok, that Instagram post was fair game. I’d be gossiping about that too 😂 come on!! [/quote]

I would NOT consider that work story to be mean girl behavior. I would be in for the gossip!!  Come on, she posted it on IG. She wants people to talk about it!  If my friend kept that kind of stuff from me, I wouldn’t consider them my real friend LOL. But that’s the point really!! You have to find friends with shared interests. Just because someone doesn’t share your interests doesn’t mean they’re mean. My 9th grade son and his friends know they’re dorks in the highest level classes but they are happy. They don’t look at the jocks as mean boys for not including them. They know they have other interests. [/quote]
