It's possible -- very possible -- to raise exceptional, morally-grounded children no matter what your family looks like. The development of your child's moral character depends less on whether there is a male or female figure or two parents. These values come from one place: you.

While we all experience friend issues (and they don't go away when you hit adulthood!), for most girls, middle school is the time when the highs and lows of the friendship rollercoaster are most pronounced.

I wasn't cool and she could tell. The fact that I shared her name enraged her. Evidently, it diminished her. She kicked the pine needles in my face and told me she wouldn't call me Karen.

A former employee told me that to get a feature into the Daily Mail you have to assure the editors that the female subject is photogenic.

In truth, what it takes for a woman to win is not that much different from a man.

I was bullied as an eighth grader. A year later I read a journal I had kept during that time. I read entries that said when I was "older" I had to do something to stop this from happening to another girl. That's where the idea of the Girl's Group started.

It's one thing to work with other people's children and to role play for possible scenarios they may encounter. It's a much more nerve-racking ballgame to have the day come when your own child is smack dab in the middle of mean girl behavior.

What girls say to each other on Facebook matters more than the possible threat of cyberbullying. It reflects what we teach kids about what's important and has real consequences.

It's my first year in high school, and low and behold, I had my first encounter with mean girls. I was recently attacked by a classmate, who pointed out in vivid detail what she thought were my flaws.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed; when parents know what to look for when it comes to methods of girl bullying, they are in the best position to help their daughters cope with it.

We found ourselves asking a question we'd never before considered. Which feels worse: When your child deals with a Mean Girl or when your child is the Mean Girl?

This year, one of my daughter's friends told her she doesn't have straight hair and shouldn't play with them. Then she started ignoring my daughter. I know that my child feels hurt and I'm concerned about her. Signed, Worried Mom

Last night I sat in a large PTO meeting. I giggled through agenda items with a table full of my friends from the old group, compared notes in stage whispers, and texted friends across the room.
Trying to talk seriously about bullying is hard. The word alone sounds cheesy. This is the first in a series of posts in which we try to have that con...

In preparation for high school, I visualized the cliques, wondered about my popularity, and, ultimately, braced myself for the cruelty that is known in popular culture as The High School Experience.

Think of the most hurtful things anyone has ever done to you. Now think of being forced to face those things every day. Now imagine facing all that as a little girl.

Why do we need to hurt, put down, insult, and otherwise belittle others to make ourselves feel good? I'm sure there are many, many answers and reasons to the broad societal issue of bullying, but with girls, there seems to be an additional impetus.
Barbara Greenberg | Posted 10.05.2011
Bullying is a particularly vexing characteristic to correct because we often don't see it -- or, we don't want to see it. No one wants to believe their own child can be mean.
