This is actually a topic that I think of often in all of those "if only I knew then what I know now" moments. I think I'm among the majority of people when I admit that I too have been on both sides of the fence. I've taken the hits as well as given them. And I realize now, looking back as an adult, that some of those hits I received stung more than others, and many of them impacted me in a lasting way. It makes me wish so much that we could pass that knowlege on in an effective way when we see kids bullying now. But I also believe that, despite our best efforts, kids will learn the same way we learned as kids. And they too will think to themselves years later "if only I'd known..." http://noteworthywhims.blogspot.com/ I love this post.

This stands for 'Preppy Pretty Purse Posse', this is because they all wear preppy clothes that are pratically the same (I guess), red bows in their hair on Wednesday, they all carry to school the same type of "pretty purse' and of course posse speaks for itself. If you aren't part of this posse, well you are either then classified as, EMO, Goth, Skater, Jock, or what's worse not even categorized meaning you are NOTHING which is so sad. I guess my daughter is in the EMO/Goth/Skater posse which is funny because I wouldn't put her in that or any category. I guess she just made friends with that crowd. She definetly is not one of the P4s even though for the last 8 years she has been in the same Dance Acadamy with most of them and you think that common interest would at least put you in the 'ok' to be friends with category. They are civil to her at dance (probably because they have to be) but nasty and mean at school which is just crazy. She says that they just glare and gossip about everyone all day long and they make life very difficult. I was hoping that these types of groups would go away, but it just goes on and on and is sometimes worse than when I was in school. It's a shame.
