Mean Girls

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Why are girls so mean to each other? I was home sick the other day and was watching the news and saw a clip about a video put on You-Tube of a girl beating up another girl, with other girl’s cheering her on. This video was deemed the most popular and best video on You-Tube for a day, meaning it was watched, I believe more than any other video. I don’t get it. Why is this so great?

First of all, what is going on with the girl who is attacking the other girl? But, more interesting to me is why do people enjoy watching this abuse. Watching this defenseless girl get beat senseless. I couldn’t watch it, it made me sick. If you are one of these two people, one, that enjoys watching this, or the one beating girl’s up for fun, I urge you to look at how you are contributing to the harmony in the world. There is a lot of upset in the world today, do you want to be a part of that.

Someone that is participating in such violence should look inside and ask themselves if they would want to be on the receiving end of this attack. Think about how you would feel. How scared you would be, how angry, and how much pain it causes the other person.

If your heart is closed and you can’t feel other’s pain, it’s because you care so little for yourself. Your sense of self is suffering. I want to encourage girl’s to develop a sisterhood, like boys have a brotherhood, and just know that when you are abusing another you are ultimately abusing yourself.
