Mean girls--aka Poison Pals, Frenemies—are renowned for RA, and they gossip, tease, and control in order to increase their social standing in a group. <br />Preschoolers and even adults engage in RA. Sounds sexist, but female excel at RA. Males not so much.

I was mocked, taunted, and teased by my classmates because A) I was fat, B) I had good grades and was a respectful, studious individual and C) I didn't like my classmates' music and clothing styles (I much preferred listening to Phil Collins over Eminem, anyway). <br /><br />I was even mocked for liking French! When it comes to other people's stupidity, you'll discover that the descending cavern housing it is infinite and bottomless. <br /><br />I remember that my father (who always wanted a boy) began to teach me how to fight back, to which I was a bit wary because I try to avoid physical confrontations at all costs. Still, it seems that some people only speak a language of violence to understand another person's viewpoint.<br /><br />I have never forgotten my bullies, but I'm certain that they have forgotten about me. That being said, I paid no heed to their brutish words and persevered with following my interests (mainly, writing, learning French, living in France and travelling). <br /><br />I like to imagine that my former bullies peaked in high school and continue to relive the glory years of their adolescence instead of making a better name of themselves in adulthood. <br /><br />-BarbThe Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294653760778922184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-50105318135854692862014-05-13T10:51:27.962-04:002014-05-13T10:51:27.962-04:00People can be so mean.
