It's disgusting. I've always had the mindset that there is nothing worse than a teenage girl. There is nothing meaner, there is nothing more heartless, and there is nothing colder.
I went to a very stereotypical high school. If you weren't "in" with the top cliques of the food chain (and I wasn't, though I'm proud to say that I wasn't by choice), you were subject to horrific rumours and bad treatment. It was dog-eat-dog, survival of the fittest.
Personally? I don't want my future child(ren) being raised and taught (academically AND socially) in an environment like that. I don't care if most parents use "Kids will be kids, teens will be teens" or anything like that for excuses. There is no excuse for that sort of behaviour.
::nods:: actually there's been lots of mentions of homeschooling, which is more or less viable depending on where you live. actually there's at least one person on my flist who homeschools, want me to introduce you so that you can learn more?
