Mean Girls Suck: Tips To Control Your Emotions When Dealing With A Bully

“My daughter was profoundly bullied by a group of girls. The school was aware of it but didn’t do anything. The behavior in the mean girl group was so calculated that daily in the carpool line after school, they selected a different girl to stand with my daughter so she wasn’t standing alone. This wasn’t done out of niceness. Rather, to appear to faculty that she was ‘friends with them’ so outwardly, there were no ‘red flags’ that she was being left out. In reality, she was left out of everything and was the victim of targeted, premeditated, brutal bullying behaviors.”
🤯 A parent recently shared this as they talked about her daughter’s entire Middle School experience. This past school year I’ve had several parents share with me about mean girl bullying behaviors towards their teenage girls. I feel like this negative behavior is on the rise, which is utterly heartbreaking and totally impacts your psychological safety.
🥊Bullying and mean girl behaviors pack a big punch! However, it’s important to remember that you don’t have control over the actions of other people. You may impact it, you may trigger it, but control it... no.
My vlog, “Mean Girls Suck: Tips To Control Your Emotions When Dealing With A Bully,” shares advice on how to know if you’re dealing with a mean girl, things you can’t control, things you can always control, and strategies to control your emotions.
