Today, our Forever More girls had a session on Mean Girls. This topic had been resting in my heart for some time. In the early 2000s, the movie came out, and we saw on-screen how vicious girls can be. For many years it seemed like it was a select few in schools who displayed this behavior. Now, over 20years later, it seems like this is common behavior among girls. I asked a few high school girls how they would define a modern-day mean girl.

Here’s what they said.

A mean girl is someone mean, rude, or aggressive to others for no apparent reason. Someone who pretends to be one way, but secretly is offensive and gaslights.

Gossip
Accuse
Bully
Rude
Fake
Angry

I would have to agree.

During our session, we did self-reflection. Focusing on how we can change our behavior so we are not being a mean girl. This session was not about pointing out all the mean girls we’ve encountered, but how we can honor God, others, and ourselves by being kind.

I’m sharing our topic today because as adults we can work on this too. Mean girls with unchanged behavior become mean women. We have to learn to deal with our own insecurities so we don’t project harmful behavior on others. We have an unacceptable number of girls and women exhibiting mean-girl behavior and it’s destroying real relationships. We need one another and should be able to have healthy relationships. Let’s all do better.
