Why are girls so cruel to each other?
Everyday I hear people being cruel to each other. I used to be amused at how girls picked on each other, but now I am appalled. I don't understand all the pettiness that goes on when girls are together. It seems they take great pleasure in putting each other in their places. I watch girls exclude one another in every situation imaginable. I watch the nastiness they dole out to one another. Is there some unwritten code that gives girls permission to beat up on each other? Girls wear all of their emotions on the outside and almost every issue seems to be full of a potential emotional outburst! Is that really the way it is, or is there a missing piece to the picture I now see?
