Mean Girls You No Longer Run My World

We all know that bullying can take many forms. Perhaps one of the more insidious forms of bullying is the relational bullying of so-called Mean Girls, that group of girls in many a middle or high school who make it their life's mission to torment any girl who is not a part of their group. You've seen the movies, heard the stories, and maybe even lived through some "Mean Girls" moments yourself. This form of bullying is usually covert and we adults only see the effects on the victims. I think we need to talk more about relational bullying...share our stories and coping strategies with our friends, daughters, co-workers, and anyone who is willing to listen!

Well, one 14-year-old girl is starting the conversation with her song "Mean Girls". Rachel Crow is the "X-Factor" singing sensation who is empowering young girls everywhere to tell their stories and be heard.

Mean Girls by Rachel Crow

Who do you think you are
Loud mouth, cafeteria star
Maybe somebody was cruel to you
So you think that's what you're supposed to do
One day, it might be you
When you need a friend, but you no longer cool
When everyone leaves when you walk in the room
I just hope they forgive you
