Suck as a blogger

May 29, 2008 by sylvia.

I admit, the last post is close to 6 months ago. No need to repent here but I really, really suck as a blogger. Just too busy to even muse about nothing. So instead, I am here to vent.

I want to know why mean girls are so mean.

Is it genetic? Is it learned? Is it acquired by the desperate individual who does not want to be left out? The truth of the matter is, I can’t answer this. All I know is that mean girls exist and I wish I can pummel the bejesus out of’em. I suppose in some ways, they are a necessary evil. How else can we appreciate the sisterhood and comraderie of girls? Mean girls remind each and every one of us that we are truly blessed for having the friends we have acquired and sustained in our lifetime. We celebrate when Cinderella outshines her two evil sisters in fairy tales, we rejoice when Mr. Darcy ignores Ms. Bingley’s plea to get atttention in classic literature and we are overjoyed when Lindsey Lohan makes a fool out of the mean girl clique in the movies. But no one ever seems to ask the underlying question. "Why are mean girls mean?" Can we just chaulk it up as simple jealousy? Lack of confidence? These are the usual run of the mill answers, but I aim to find out what is behind this facade of callous behavior. It can’t simply be a behavioral issue. To be continued . . .
