We've all experienced the mean girl who seems to have all the power. Learn how to view these girls and the best way to respond to them.
Key Points:
- Some girls cause drama because they want attention, whether it’s good or bad.
- Some girls thrive on drama. They want a lot of friends and they want a lot of enemies!
- The root problem of mean girls is insecurity. They’re afraid no one will like them, so they alienate people first.
- Mean girls only have as much power as you give them. If you are tired of the drama, then find a new friend group. You can stop assoiciating with the mean girls in a kind way.
- If you are the mean girl – stop. It’s not worth it, and it’s not God-honoring.
