I really just don’t understand high school girls these days. Does it really make them feel better to be mean & petty to the new girl in school? Why can’t they just welcome the new girl and be friends? Are their lives that miserable that they need to be this way? Do their parents know their kids are acting like this?
When I went to high school, which admittedly wasn’t very often my junior & senior years, I don’t remember the girls being so mean, petty, & bitchy. Sure, we all had our own little groups that we all hung out with but I don’t remember them being so flat out mean. They didn’t invite someone to homecoming & then deliberately ditch the person they invited. At least none of the girls I knew did that.
As you all can probably guess, my daughter has been having problems making friends. It hasn’t been easy. She’s tried making with friends with 2 different groups of girls but they’ve all been mean & petty. What do you do when your daughter cries & begs you to home school her because she feels invisible & ignored at her school because she can’t make any friends?
I told her when she started junior high that she was getting into the age group where girls can be mean, petty, spiteful, & just downright bitchy. I didn’t actually think that the girls in Texas would put new meaning into that statement. All we heard was how nice everyone in Texas is & that she wouldn’t have any problems making friends at school. Well…………..
The adults in Texas are nice!! The high school girls… not so much.
I can tell my daughter that what happens in high school isn’t really gonna matter in the long run. That high school is just a drop in the bucket of your life. That she is better than these girls & if they are gonna act that way then she doesn’t need them. That these girls act this way because they are miserable in their lives & they are jealous of her.
I can tell her all this & more but in the end she is still just a 15 yr old girl who wants to have friends & not be the new girl anymore. All I can do is offer her a shoulder to cry on & a hug when she needs it.
And tell her to make friends with some boys because they don’t care if she is prettier or smarter then them.
