My daughter and her best friend had a sleepover at ours the other week. They ended up watching mean girls and apparently became inspired to make a ‘burn book’, (if you’ve seen the movie you’ll know what I’m talking about)I had no idea they were doing this at the time, but I came across it whilst looking for something in her room. Some of the things they were saying about other girls in their class were horrible. They even said some stuff about some of their other friends. My daughter and her friend have always been very popular at school, they’ve been through the typical preteen fall outs and stuff, but never really been accused of bullying or anything. I now worry about the way they are thinking and the way they’re talking about others. I remember being a bit mean around that age but I wasn’t this mean. When they’re around me they’re both good kids and I don’t think they’d say any of this to other peoples faces but I want to make sure she knows that being nasty about the way people look isn’t cool or ok.I don’t want to bring up to my daughter that I read it though. It was hidden away and said keep out on the front so its like reading a diary, which I believe is an invasion of her privacy, but I just couldn’t help looking inside.Anyway I guess what I’m here to ask is how to address this without her knowing I’ve seen it? Are there any good movies, YouTube videos etc that might make her see that being nasty isn’t cool. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2QLlPmg
