High
school can be tough for many girls; especially when it comes to your social
status. If you’re not “cool” enough, the popular girls won’t invite you to sit
with them at their lunch table. Who decides who’s cool and who’s not? Certainly
not those cliquey preppy girls. In middle school, bullying took the form of
being shoved in the hallway or stealing someone’s gym clothes. High school is a
whole other jungle or dirty words and nasty comments. With today’s technology
of social media, girls have the whole wide world of bullying within their
Channel Red painted fingers nails.
You
may not be able to tell from the outside, but a girl’s soul is full of her
deepest and darkest secrets. You don’t know if she’s dealing with bullying or
not from just glancing at her in the hallway. Girls are more susceptible to cyber-bullying because girl’s fight with words while boys fight with fists. Old
fashion female bullying consisted of saying something bad about another girl
behind their back, or even to their face. Now they can hide behind a username
on Facebook or Twitter. It’s easier for them to get away with bullying because
you can’t always prove it’s them. Many girls don’t think they’re bullying when
they text each other mean comments about that awkward girl in their history
class. Words can hurt people more than spoken words because of the long lasting
effect they have. She doesn't have to hear it just once, but that poor girl you
made fun of can keep coming back to read and reread what was said about her.
Looking
at a girl, you may not be able to tell what’s going on in their life; however,
there are those cases where it’s obvious she’s getting bullied. If people
refuse to be around her because of the way she acts or dresses is a big warning
sign that she’s getting bullied. No girl deserves that. If you see someone
sitting by themselves at lunch, whether it be a girl or guy, go sit with them.
It just might make their day to have company while eating lunch. And who knows,
you may actually enjoy the company too.
