I am appalled how so many young girls, starting at around age 11, think it's okay to be mean. Everyone has a frustrating streak, I know. And of course, girls are known for being dramatic and manipulative. But to see it in such young girls is so discouraging. Just today, I took the kids I nanny to an elementary school where they play baseball and I went inside the building to go to the bathroom. There were a couple, probably 12 year old, girls walking past me and I heard them whisper to each other, "What is she wearing? She looks so weird. Ew!" And laughing to themselves at their very clever humor. They led me to tears.
Just kidding.
They're 12.
Anyway, it wasn't a HUGE disaster but it just made me think about so many instances where I see young girls acting out and it makes me worry for that generation of girls. And boys. Those poor boys!
