Current Mood:  frustrated
6th grade girls are vicious..
One week they are sweet and innocent to the naked eye..... then BOOM they are on the "Bully" side focusing on the girls who haven't *turned*
It was just a moment and sudden my eyes were open:
Cast of Characters:
P - only child, one of the youngest girls in the class... Tiny, but tall, blonde, has make-up that she gets to wear outside of school and has the fashionable clothes that look cute on her. Needs everything to look pretty/perfect
I - Middle of the road in regards to age. Her hair is always tied back and shes usually in simple clothes, oversize shirts. She has decent self esteem.
J - Very low self esteem, taller than most, thinks in a different way, and not into the "pretty" stuff that the popular girls are into.
The kids are working on their writing assignment. I'm the the only teacher in the room and suddenly...I see P at Is side. J was very upset after lunch and shes still upset, and very quiet because of it. P has *the Look* on her face... the passive aggressive, forced grin, big eyes.
P: Whats wrong I? I'm just trying to figure out why you're upset?
I: I said go away.
I then walked over to them and raised an eyebrow at P the entire way back to her seat... which she was now surrounded by K and B.
They all give me *the look* and explain that they are just trying to figure out why I is mad at them.. I told them to leave her alone, if shes mad, let he be mad by herself... by bugging her its going to make it worse.
k: but theeeen we'd have to wait. We dont deserve that, do we? (She was on the verge of giggling the entire time)
I separated the girls and talked to I later in the day.
Apparently P, B, and K (thats their hierarchy order btw) were bugging J. I (along with S and M) called then out on their bullying and made the fact that they were upset with them known. Then the bullying focused on I, S, and M. Because they all have relatively high self esteem and good sense.. they just ignored them... luckily the focus was off of J.
This entire encounter has made me so angry. This was *not* how the girls acted a few weeks ago. It started out at P.... then P and B (which was very obvious and easy to dissolve)... now P B and K... now i'm just asking: who's next? |
