Girls and bullying

[daugher-of-Mary]

Yeah, girls can be really cruel. I'm SO glad I'm not in middle school anymore!

[homeschoolmom]

When I was in first grade, I told a girl in another class to get off the playground every single day at recess... By junior high, we were good friends. And we were friends all through high school.. We'd laugh about it all the time-- "Get off the playground!!"

But yeah, girl bullies are nothing new:

I ran up one of the playground equiment steel structures (space ship type object). One of the girls started climbing it while the rest waited on the ground below. I jumped off past the girls and ran like hell into the school building.

I knew better then, and know better now than to mess with girls.

When we get older, they give us special lessons on how to stomp boys' hearts flat.

Although I think you guys get lessons on that too ...

Does she say that to you too?

She keeps telling me to get off Open Mic. I don't listen.

Well, it makes "get off the playground" a little more sinister than it used to be.

At least that's how I've interpreted it.

You don't need to be as worried about it as I am. She knows where I live ...

[quote name='Carrie' date='Dec 29 2005, 10:04 AM']Personally, I think girls bully worse than boys.  Boys fight it out and its over.  Girls drag out their bullying forever and can be just plain vicious.

It's true. Girls can be downright nasty. It's odd that they think this is new . . . maybe the means of bullying have changed/increased with Internet and cell phones, but I think girls have bullied each other since, well, there have been girls on this earth.

It seems to me that usually boys will just decide whether they think you're cool or they hate your guts, and they'll make it pretty clear to you which one they think. But girls will be your best friend one day and your worst friend the next (and then be back to being "friends" again the next day). At least that was how it was from first grade through high school.

It's odd, because on the show, she and Laura actually became good friends when they were all grown up and married. But in the books, they were rivals all the way till Laura's wedding day (both were interested in Laura's future husband).

never knew that.

Yeah... silly Michael Landon... He should have just given his characters completely new names to begin with... after the first season, they'd departed so far from the books it was unrecognizable....
