Girls can't be bullies! They're made of "sugar and spice and everything nice,” right? Well, not always. Sometimes girls can be mean - especially to each other. And while boy bullies often fight with fists, girls battle each other with words and friendships. Relational Aggression, or girl bullying as it is commonly called, is real and surprisingly common. One day your daughter might be happy and popular; the next, shunned by her girl classmates. And sometimes, girls who have been bullied can even become bullies themselves. Join Dr. Winnie King as we hear the stories of girls who were bullied as children, often by their own friends! We'll meet the mother of a bullied girl to find out how she struggled with what to do to help her child and we'll also hear from three experts in the field as well as a teen mentor.
