Mean Girls Go Back to School
“Our daughters start stressing about going back to school weeks before they even get their school supply lists. What to wear on the first day is small compared to the other things that are spinning around in their heads. Will I get lost in my new school? Will I forget my locker combination? Worse, will I forget where my locker is? What if I get on the wrong bus? Will I make good grades? Can I stop Mom from taking my “back to school” picture in front of my friends? And the one that really keeps them up at night: Will my girlfriends be my true friends or will they turn into mean girls?
They asked a group of girls between the ages of 9 and 15 and this is what they had to say. Kids can be so cruel. When I was that age, we had our own group of mean girls, but I don’t remember them being this mean.
