I do understand what you mean. I think there's a number of reasons it's hard to speak up. Part of it might be that we just accept that's the way things are. Another part, is fear, not wanting to become the next target or, as you said, they "hope to gain acceptance/admission into a clique themselves." You know, I invite you to comment on some of the more recent posts, as unfortunately, blogs don't work like message boards. New comments won't bump the post up to the top so others can benefit from your insights. I'm still working on this blog, so hope to set things up so I won't have to approve comments (to combat spam), otherwise we'll be subjected to a long litany of attempts to appeal to our gambling weaknesses and opportunities to extend, expand and enlargen certain parts of our anatomy! *sigh* Again, welcome :-) Demian, ~DreamSinger Hi, beenthereb4, and welcome to my blog!

I wish more people knew about this site and were more informed about relational aggression. Unfortunately, RA isn't recognized or discussed openly. People, especially women, are reluctant to admit it exists.I feel many women are hesitant to speak up, even when they know it's happening to them or a friend/loved one. Perhaps they remain silent because they still hope to gain acceptance/admission into a clique themselves.>sigh Boy, am I glad I found this site!
