I think it's called Queen Bees and Wannabes, but that's a great book! I read it after my mom read it.... Which is strange because I was probably 13 when I read it which is not the target market but I found it interesting and very accurate.There is an excellent book every parent of a girl should read. Mean Girls and Wannabes (was the premiss of the movie). Our elementary did a book club on it years ago and I can just say it was so helpful. Things in it I could apply back to my one little girl in preschool at the time. There was a mean girl (YES PRESCHOOL) there was the girl who fit in only because she brought information... I have seen it time and time again and I have used the tools in the book to help my kids when they are the cause of the problems (how to apologize appropriately - usually with their own sisters) and how to accept and apology. "Thank you for apologizing" because saying "It's okay" isn't right what the person did is not okay and the victim has a right to stand up to the it not being okay.
Regarding social media. There is a reason my kids aren't on it and this is a clear example of why not. It heightens the drama of everything.
