[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these comments seem extreme to me. Mean girl behavior persists, sure, but I think it often peaks in 7th or 8th grade (at least that was my experience over several years as a camp counselor ![/quote]

Boy problems in high school can bring out the mean girl.    My daughter did varsity cheering for football for 9th grade fall season.   She had an injury and was out of her ballet program for two months.   The girls were nice, she had two close friends on the team.   She never cheered before but tumbled and had skills needed.   One girl who was a junior turned on her quickly when a senior boy became interested in my daughter.   She gossiped about my daughter and wrote her the most vicious vile emails I had ever read.   She attacked her personally, ridiculing her problems with depression, the usual name calling slut and all the rest. The worst was the bullies contempt for my daughter’s mental health issues. She crossed so many lines.  Over a boy.

I called her step mother and she said that her husband has zero tolerance for bullying and he would take care of it.   I think she apologized and never did it again so there are decent parents out there.   [/quote]

Wow.  Glad it was resolved with parent help.  That sounds terrible![/quote]

Thanks.   The cruelty was so deep I had a hard time talking without crying.  I would suggest at least try and talk to parents.  They might be horrified and had no idea the bullying was going on. [/quote]
