[quote=Anonymous]I was a mean girl in middle school and I am so sorry about it and all the things I did and said. There was also a culture of mean girls at my middle school so it did feel like a survive or get destroyed environment.

I payed dearly for it and karma got me. Toward the end of middle school I developed an eating disorder and was overwhelmed with anxiety and depression that took the next decade to get a hold of.

But to answer the question - I think I became a mean girl during middle school because I had been struggling for years already. I didn’t have a home life that was supportive in any way. I was always told I was the bad sister by my mom, she seemed to hate me for some reason. My only source for comfort had been my friends through elementary school. When I got into middle school I noticed my peers turning their attention to boys and puberty related stuff. The girls just got more catty, their comments more aggressive, and everything was a competition. I think I projected all of my sadness and anger about my home life, combined with anxiety about puberty and friends changing, and stress from competitiveness that was coming out socially and academically  at school  into trying to “stay on top”. I was so miserable and I dealt with it by judging others about things I was struggling with myself. I did not have any of this insight back then so it was just a mess.
