Violence and Girls: What Can Be Done Answered in New Book
Wilmette, IL (PRWeb) January 17, 2007 -- Are girls more violent today or are girls and violence just given more publicity? Does the pop culture feed into this problem? I believe the answers to these questions is - yes. Here are some reasons girls bully others:
The need for peer acceptance is great
The desire to become popular.
Feeling powerful becomes extremely important to girls, particularly during adolescence.
Her bullying may be fueled by her own insecurities.
Many look for ways to take advantage of insecurities of other girls.
She may lack constructive ways to express her anger.
They have a need to socially isolate the victim. For many this will increase the social status of the bully.
She might be driven by jealousy
Here is what many believe:
•Girls are pictured as two-faced, back stabbing, gossiping behind other's backs, and have their confidence broken by other girls.
•Girls are very good at getting many girls in the same grade mad at one individual girl.
•They seem to have the power to destroy others social lives.
•They attack each other's weaknesses.
•They attack each other's relationships.
•Girls are very active when it comes to cyber-bullying. A recent Girl Scout study confirmed that girls are nastier on-line than in real time.
•Girls look at physical violence as much more acceptable today.
•With girls they're very emotional. They want people to like them and they want to be popular.
•Many girls turn to boys as best friends because they're more trusting.
•Girls are now more likely to carry weapons and respond to settling issues with violence.
•Female physical violence follows verbal bullying.
Statistics show that in 2003 there were 643,000 arrests of females under the age of 18. Also, 20.5% of arrests are for running away, 25% are for shoplifting, and these are signs of trying to survive. Once only an epidemic in England, happy slapping is now here. It must be more enjoyable to post what you did on the Internet so it can be viewed over and over and over.
There is a new book, "Stopping School Violence: The complete guide for parents and educators on handling bullying" now available.
