I'm straight and I was bullied in grade school.

40. Bullying in schools is something I know about ~ Girl's Bully too!

I was an Elementary Administrator for many years.

I thought I had seen it all until about 1998 ~ around that time we noticed more GIRLS being Bullies.

I'm not talking about things like saying , " Your Dress is Ugly."

I'm talking about groups of girls from Middle - Upper Class Families ( not far from Cranbrook-- Romney's Elite School.) getting together to Bully sweet little girls.

School Districts in the area got together and set up training for Administrators/Teachers/Parents on the issue - Boys/Girls.

We talked about it with individual parents of course and the standard response was, " My sweet Susie would never do anything like that-- not my Susie."
Ms. go clark had to have long discussions with parents and their Bully Girls about the issue.

To site just one example: I was visiting classrooms one day and I just stood in the back doorway quietly.... one of the Bully Girls did not see me as she turned to another girl and rolled her eyes. You could see the receiver tense and quietly put her hand down because she was afraid to answer the teacher's question to the class.

We watched carefully and got to the bottom of it. We had a "Gang of Bully Girls" in that 2nd grade classroom!

I often wonder what the "Bully Girls" are doing now. What kind of parents will they be?
