mean girls

[hegsag]

Wow...I'm shocked that girls in the 2nd grade can be so mean, manipultive, sneaky, bossy and the list goes on. Ugh!!! My dd's "best friend" is a piece of work. A couple of weeks ago this little girl said to my dd "Not to be mean, but don't you think you looked weird with short hair?" then just a few days ago my dd wore her hair in braids and looked real cute (I usually don't do much with her hair). This same little girl said to my dd that she wanted my dd to cut her hair real short again & insisted that she was getting a hair cut this past weekend too. Well, needless to say, she didn't get her hair cut and was mad that I told my dd that she could not cut her hair!

Sheesh, they start that young? Insecurity... it has a smell and now it smells like a happy meal.

Second grade? Some friend!

There is always one in every grade! Just tell your DD to ignore. The girl is probably insecure.

One of my DD's friends is a bit much. DD is in first grade. This weekend we had two friends over (mistake!). One friend was being snipey and then wouldn't talk to DD & other friend. So, to diffuse the situation, I took out a long piece of paper, drew a green "horizon" on it, and told them to color me a town (figuring it would get them talking and doing something cooperatively.) "Friend" that was being snipey proceeded to write the names of all her other friends on her side of the paper! DD was hurt. I was lost, I have to admit! GIRLS! So different than my boys!

Mean girls grow up to be mean women. Sorry having a bad day!

This "mean girl" stuff has been going on in my 2nd grade class this year, and they are brutal! I can't keep track of all the parent conferences and mini-counseling sessions I've had this year.

I have 4th graders and every day I have at least one girl that comes up to me after recess and starts with "I have to talk to you about something." That usually means that there was some drama at lunch.

Many a times my DD has come home in tears over something a girl would say. She is very fair complected and gets teased alot. I did as well as I had red hair and freckles. Thank goodness that Twilight came out and vampires are so popular! My daughter just knows to not pay attention. But she still comes home every so often in tears. Why do kids have to be so dang mean???

My neice is a mean girl, she gets it from her mother!! Of course this child does no wrong and also walks on water. She knows I wont tolerate such behavior out of her though. She absolutely HATES to apologize for anything. She is really just like her mom!

It makes me sad to think what it's going to be like in high school if girls are so mean in elementry school.

Wow..

My sister was pure evil and my parents had halos and wings. She was BORN angry and is still that way at the old age of 54. Sometimes it's not a learned trait, sometimes a person is just mean at birth.

Just a word to the wise, when girls are playing together there should always be an even number of girls. It will make life much easier.

My dd has a mean girl in her class this is first grade... it got to the point where my dd would ask to go see the nurse to get away from her everyday. I finally got sick of it and wrote the teacher a note. I dont know if they moved the mean girl away from my dd or what but since I wrote the note she has not been to see the nurse at all.

Exactly. It usually doesn't start till about 4th grade, but there is always one little girl who will start trouble. If your DD doesn't stand up to her, it will just build. My DD had a girl like this, and it was torture. Finally I gave her a few snippy comebacks and ensured her she wouldn't get in trouble with me if she used them, and that I had her back if school said something. It's totally not my DD's personality to be "mean" but sometimes you don't have a choice.

The girl leaves her alone now.

There is always one in every grade!

More than one....trust me.

I know it was going on in second grade for my dd because I remember her asking me if Tay says, "I do not like your ugly shoes", DD asked me if she could could reply with, "If I valued your opinion, I'd be offended by that."

I was like, "uh...yeah, I guess you could respond with that but I doubt she'll know what you mean." LOL. The girl is a 10th grader and I'd say she still wouldn't get it. lol

Boys can be just as bad. Not very often but there are a few.

We had a b-day party for my oldest, buddies over. Pizza, cake, video games and a sleep out in the back yard. One boy decided he didn't want pizza and wanted to continue playing the video game. I said "nope, we're going to have pizza and then the cake." He said "your son will be very sad when I call my mom to pick me up and take me home." Needless to say, that was the last time he was allowed over our house. I've never been blackmailed by a kid before.

For all of your daughters that aren't mean girls..
My son had many friends who just happened to be girls, so we spent
a lot of time during elementary & middle school with those girls & their
mothers. In almost every case..mean girl/mean mom, and it always blew me away that the moms "didn't know where they got it from". HA!
Usually saw the same with mean/bully boys..just check out the dad.
SAD..

I bet the mom of said blackmailer to be probably wonders why he doesn't go over your house. I am rude, child or no child and would have said C YA! Buh Bye!
