Girl-On-Girl Bullying
Dear Readers,
I just read the following article in today's New York Times by Tina Kelley. Kelley writes about teen Girl-On-Girl bullying and the new "disturbing twists" it is taking. Last week news of a "slut-list" at top-ranked Millburn High in New Jersey sent shock waves across the nation. Kelley writes, "...surprising to many was the cachet that seemed to come to those on the list." "The list makes unsettling links between a girl's power and popularity and what allegedly she will do with a boy. Or seven of them."
Kelley writes that adding to the alarm is that this behavior is being seen in girls barely out of the tweens and in grade schools too.
Parents, please read and I would love to hear your comments:
