I found this article, entitled "Mean girl behavior begins at early ages" in the Boston Globe today to be very interesting. With the anti-bullying legislation a huge topic lately many people have begun to really talk about the importance of this bullying and certain aspects of bullying that may not be as well known as others. In this article it discusses how normally bullying among girls is seen in the teengage and pre-teen years. However, more recently bullying between girls has started even earlier - as early as 7 years old. It is important to understand and know when bullying starts to target the right ages and have the legislation and programs that it may bring about be useful. If the legislation just focused on teen and pre-teens it would leave out those who are learning this "mean girl" behavior earlier, and bringing it with them and having those behaviors just worsen as they get to the pre-teen, teenage years.
