Here’s an archived article from the New York Daily News about young “mean girls” with some basic good tips on how to deal with relational aggression. Scourge of the mean girls. Not crazy about the title for various reasons, but the tips are helpful.

5 tips for coping with a clique Here’s what you should know about dealing with nasty classmates:
1 Remember this is NOT your fault. You haven’t done anything to deserve this kind of meanness.
2 You are not alone. Lots of kids have to deal with this every day.
3 Don’t suffer in silence. Talk to someone (preferably an adult at the school and/or your parent).
4 Find at least one friend whom you can trust.
5 Do NOT try to retaliate. Meanness only turns into more meanness.

I’d like to go over each tip one by one next week.
