Bullies in Disguise

Girls as young as 3 use social aggression to hurt others. Find out how to short-circuit this behavior early.
Suzanne Marie Fanger

In the popular movie Mean Girls, two cliques of teenage girls become socially aggressive toward each other in school. They play spiteful tricks and say and write cruel things behind one another's backs. While the movie is a fictional comedy, there is a large degree of truth in the groups' cold-blooded behavior: Girls sometimes deliberately mistreat other girls within their own peer groups.

I agree, boys do the more outward physical type of bullying. Therefore, it is more visible.

Girls, on the other hand, do that smile in your face and talk about you behind your back type of bullying.

girls can be very mean, and say nasty things behind your back~nasty things in front of you, too. i remember one girl form my childhood~teachers use to LOVE her...said she was so sweet & nice~if they only knew!

It was always easy for me to see through those fake chics. When I was young in high school I would make it a purpose of mine to show them their faults on a daily basis as my own dose of medicine. I guess I could do that because I never had to fear getting beat up. Which subsequently made those who had the fear come to me for protection. But I didnt mind because those girls seemed weak to me whereas to others they seemed tough and scary.
