Mean girls

I forgot just how mean girls can be. Teenage girls. Becca has had the same seven girls that hang out. One has been her friend sense first grade. She is the meanest. She is always putting Becca down. In the 7th grade her mom felt Becca and another girl were not including her. Well, Becca had been friends with the other girl as well for awhile. The other girl did not hang out with the other girl. Becca got caught in the middle. She wanted to be both their friend. Becca and I talked about what she could do to improve it. She tried to include both of the girls.

Now, this drama has pretty much been going on sense the 6th grade, 3 years now. Well, I have had it and so has Becca. She stood up to the girl today. (1st grade friend). She pretty much told her, if you don't have anything nice to say to me, then don't talk to me. You go girl. Becca was pretty much tired of her comments, such as "you really should wear cover up over your freckles" (hello she is a red head) "your breath stinks, did you brush your teeth?" (how about asking her if she would like a piece of gum", making fun of her shirt then wearing the same shirt the next week. The topping on the cake was "How dumb can you be, that test was easy, I got an A". Becca studied hard for a final and got a B on it. She has a hard time with test. She freezes, just like when she is up to bat.

The girl called and wanted Becca to hang out after school tomorrow. Becca told her she didn't want to because, she didn't like how she would always put her down. So she hung up on Becca. Becca's comment on that, "Guess, she wasn't a good friend"
I know this is not the best picture but I love that her reflection is in the picture. Washington DC.
