She’s just jealous. This is the world-wide line all mothers tell their daughters when she undergoes a rough day at school, or got into a fight with her friends. The sad truth is female bullying is real. In the novel Odd Girl Speaks Out by Rachel Simmons, the subject of female bullying is closely examined by the readers.
Our society constantly camouflages the subject of female bullying by confusing it with jealousy. In each of the stories of the girls who have been bullied confide their feelings in their friends or in their family and in each situation the friends or family cover up the bullying by blaming the problem simply on jealousy. Realizing that bullying is not always based on jealousy, the readers will realize that girls are vicious snakes.

I totally agree, Rachel. Drama seems to be filling the hallways almost everyday at school. Jealousy is the major "cover up" word otherwise known as bullying. But, I do agree. Even though I am one myself, girls are quite evil creatures.
