Why do people ostracize? Are they just too cool for someone? Do they not care about the other person? Is this just another thing that teenagers have to deal with? We mine as well add it to the list: peer pressure, "cliques", ostracism, many other things. It seems that girls are more likely to exclude than guys. But, also, if guys get mad, they hit and it's done. If girls get mad, they hold grudges. They spread rumours. They exclude. There have been warnings to parents that they should ask their daughter if they are being ostricized. It is an issue with any teenager. But does it have to be? Sure, their are your certain friends who are like you that you hang out with. But can you never allow someone else into the group? At Inter-City I have established that there are about 3-4 "cliques" of guys. Not saying that's bad. But I have heard that girls groups are much more intricate and complex. Maybe I'm just trying to figure out the mind of women. Yes, I know it is not possible. According to Joe, "Men can spend a lifetime contemplating a woman's mind. Women can take one minute to figure out what is going on in a man's mind." Seems a little funny to me how girls can be so harsh to one another. Jealousy is probably a main issue. Not saying guys are perfect, but it's more common in girls. It's funny, sorta not really, but sad.
