bullies suck!

bullies suck! long story...

this evening, the girls came inside to tell us about 3 older girls down the street, teasing them...they said these girls were sitting in the church parking lot, listening to music...as my girls rode by on their bikes, the mean girls go "nice hair cut - you look like a boy!" and were laughing at them...their friend (our neighbor) was with them & confirmed the story

i assumed these mean girls were maybe 12/13yo, hanging out & listening to their ipods...i decide to ride my bike over with the girls, just to check it out...i fall back & let them go ahead...soon as the mean girls see my girls, they start laughing...they spot me & get silent. i stop as i ride up next to them...& get this - they are sitting in a CAR, windows down, & are probably 16/17!!! i'm confused, thinking this can't be them

i ask Gabby if that's them...she confirms...i ask them if it feels good to pick on 8/9yo little girls...they immediately start denying it "we didn't pick on them"...i ask them directly about the "you look like a boy" part...still denial - "we didn't say that...we just said hi!"...i ask why my girls would have reason to lie...that someone is calling them out on their immature actions - at this point, they should just grow up, 'fess up & apologize...of course, i'm remaining calm - but inside, i'm SO pissed that these TEENAGERS are bullying little girls!

they continue to say they don't know what i'm talking about...i tell them they should be ashamed of themselves...then we ride on

what is this world coming to???
