No, I don't actually hate girls, and my 3 girls I love more than I can say. What I hate is the way girls treat each other from about 3rd grade through jr. hi, and some even into high school. Why can't they just all get along and be friends and forget all the DRAMA! It is so hard to have to comfort a girl who is feeling left out and friendless. But it also makes Mom so proud when she tells me she has chosen not to be with certain girls because of the way they talk and behave, even though she feels like they are the only friends she has. Sometimes choosing what is right is so painful, though always worth it in the long run. Even though Mom went through it, too, there is just no fix to it. Something that simply has to be lived through.
So, now I start praying for friends that are true friends and true Christians. Sadly, like any age, just because they are in church every Sunday does not mean they know God.
And I will continue to pray for the unhappy girl who sees the need to prove she is better than my daughter by making fun of her. Have to cover up that jealousy somehow I guess. Knowing the family she is from, she really does need prayers! A family that appears perfectly fine to any one with a casual acquaintance, but a family that desperately needs God and most likely doesn't even know it.

I hate girls!

I finally caught up on your posts - good ones too.
This post hits home with my little girl too. She's had it pretty rough the last few months at school and at Sunday School. My heart hurts for her as she tells me some of the things that happened while at school. Sometimes I'd like to go give those other girls a little swat on their butt, but I restrain myself only because I'm sure my girl isn't always the perfect angel.
I honestly don't remember treating other kids like my kids have been treated. My, how times have changed. Sad isn't it?!!
I know how you are feeling. My daughter is in the 9th grade and has had some pretty cruel things said to her in the last few years. I think the girls are doing it to her because they are insecure with themselves but that is hard for Courtney to understand while she is hurting so.
I don't have a girl, but I have heard that some start showing their mean streak when they're in kindergarten. Very sad. I'm sure boys can be just as mean.
Thanks, by the way, for commenting on my blog. It was nice "meeting" you. Visit any time.
Great post... sometimes it is lonely by choosing good friends...but we are never alone!
