Mean Girls!

“I was pushed down in to the pit, and dirt fell on top of me covering my fresh clothes as the mean girls stood there with smirks on their faces, pointing down and laughing at me. Tears began to well up in my eyes, and I wished I had never come to this stupid birthday party, but my mother insisted that I go to meet new friends. The only thing is that I had nothing in common with these girls. They all had come from large close knit families, while mine was dysfunctional and always fighting with each other, and these girls had been friends for years, while I was dragged from town to town, from school to school, while my mother was trying to find the end of the rainbow or figure herself out, and my only close friends remained deep in my imagination. I picked myself up from the pit; I brushed the dirt from my clothing, looked over at the mean girls, put my nose in the air and walked home. I never spoke to them again, and I avoided them at school while deeply praying that my mother would decide she needed to move to the next town in search for more clues about herself.”


Did you ever have people that were mean to you or were you one of those mean people? I have encountered my share of these mean girls, and there have been many times that I wished I was anywhere else on this planet just so I did not have to face them. Unfortunately life does not give us the luxury of running from our problems, and ignoring them will not make them go away.

If you are a victim of mean girls or you are the mean girls, there comes a point in each of your lives you must face the problem. If you are the victim, become strong, brush the dirt from your clothes, and stand there facing the mean girls and tell them why they were wrong…they do need to hear from someone! Choose to walk away from them after, and never look back in that direction again and find friends that are like you, that embrace you, that love you in spite of any differences. You will be the bigger and better person, and maybe, just maybe you will teach someone how maturity should be. If you are the mean girl, then you need to stand in front of a mirror and take a good, long, hard look at yourself, and see the problem. If you do not like someone, ask yourself why, is there something about what you don’t like that you can identify with? We do not have to like everyone we meet, but we do have to be respectful of others feelings, and simply just stay away from that which we do not care for. The solution is easy, and if you are mature enough, you will figure this out, be kind, be a better person, and just say no to mean girls!
