Okay, so today I am just going to speak my mind as a Mom and as a female. I really don't understand mean girls. As the Mom to three daughters, I hear about mean girls almost every day. It's in the stories about the lunchroom and school activities. It's about tyring to belong and be a part of something. And I guess mean just happens and perhaps I should toughen up myself and my girls to this kind of behavior and attitude but today I am just sad that it exists. Why can't we rally together, be friendly with one another, extend a smile or a moment of our time? Why do we let the cutting words of some as well the deafening silenece of others cause such destruction to our hearts?
I wish I could wrap my girls in a bubble and keep them away from all hurt and sadness but it isn't possible. I want them to interact, to participate and to find lasting friendships that carry them through life. I want them to experience the joy of having a friend that would truly do anything for them and love them like a sister.
Maybe I am too Pollyanna in my approach to some things in life but sometimes that is the way I can break down such a monumental problem, piece by piece. So, if you happen to read this blog, please remember to smile today at someone who might need a smile, share a story, say a kind word or make a call to the person that you call friend.
