MEAN GIRLS AND HOW TO HANDLE THEM


If you have seen the film Mean Girls an American teen film, you may be able to relate to some of the characters. Mean girls do exist but you can find ways to handle them and not allow them to make you feel bad about yourself. The following tips will help you spot a Mean Girl and handle her behaviour.

Disguised As Friends
A Mean Girl may pretend to be your friend just to find out your weaknesses. A mean girl will find a way of putting you down. If you confront her, she may accuse you of being over sensitive. She tends to criticise you a lot and give you a 100 reasons why you cant do something. She is a mean girl and you need to keep away from you. Suzzy had this problem with Chizor. Chizor was always criticising Suzzy, especially amongst other friends. Suzzy got fed up of all the criticisms and abandoned the friendship.

Mean Girls Are Bullies
A mean girl is usually a bully and the ring leader of her clique. If she laughs at you, then all her friends will laugh too. Do not be imitated by her. Stand up for yourself and tell her directly that she is making a fool of herself. When you speak up to a mean girl, she will leave you and look out for someone else to bully. Yinka was not putting up with Jada’s put downs. She told Jada straight up that if she said another bad word to her, she would not tolerate it. Jada cooled down.

Knock You Off Stage
A mean girl doesn’t like anyone else to be the centre of attention, so if you stand out, she wont like you. You might try to befriend her but if you pose any sign of a threat then you will not be welcomed. If she is used to receiving a lot of attention, she cant stand it when someone else comes in and shows some light. This happened to Kelechi. She started a new school and she suddenly found that she was disliked by a particular popular girl. Apparently the girl was the best at drama until Kelechi came along and knocked her off the spotlight. Don’t take it personally. Avoid mean girls at all costs and just keep shining.

Why Are They Mean?
Some girls are just jealous. It is as simple as that. They are not content with themselves so they look for someone else to attack. You cannot do anything about another girl’s jealously. Just avoid her.

Mean Girls Are A Fact Of Life
There are just some people in the world that will not like you no matter what you do and this includes mean girls. Maybe there is a side of your personality that they secretly admire but they don’t know how to admit it, so they despise you.

So now you know, live your life to the best you can and avoid the mean girls.
