	Devil in the daughters - smh.com.au
		At the time, however, I recall being extremely impressed by a peer who'd happened upon this old standard: Girl A is locked in the classroom's stationery cupboard; Girl B is invited into the room for a frank discussion about her schoolmate-in-hiding.
		This sympathetic girl whose popularity is slipping spends her day tending to the bereaved: she organises condolences; speaks to teachers who've yet to hear the news; and tries, at any opportunity, to offer comfort; "I thought, 'She finally needs me'...
		There's a terrible irony in girls' schools trying to engender confidence and success skills in their students, who, behind the scenes, are actually policing each other; using ever more ingenious forms of torture to make sure no one thinks she's smarter, or prettier, or more talented than any of her friends.

	Mark Daims reviews Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls by Rachel Simmons
		Odd Girl Out evolved out of the author's personal search into what was behind her own experience of being bullied as a child.
		Some of these middle- girls, as they may have their own ambitions to be in a popular clique, may distort the information passed to them as they relay it to the other girl(s).
		All girls must beware of appearing to be "all that." The appearance of conceit carries swift retribution and popular girls must be cautious so that admiration does not turn to jealousy among her followers.

	Interview with Rachel Simmons, Odd Girl Out — Harcourt
		Part of the reason girls "don't forget" is that they don't have the opportunity to express their anger in a healthy, fulfilling way.
		Girls feel that in order to be "nice"- something most parents and teachers expect from girls-they cannot be in open conflict with others.
		This is, as you say, because girls feel a "prime directive" to maintain a relationship "at any cost." You interviewed quite a few adults who either suffered from or delivered this type of aggression in childhood.

		In this world, friendship is a weapon, and the sting of a shout pales in comparison to a day of someone's silence." She calls this type of girl on girl bullying "relational aggression" and says it is so insidious that it often goes undetected by teachers and parents, with devastating psychological consequences for the victim.

		When Simmons found out how little literature there was on the topic of why girls bully each other, she set out "to map" --and here it should be noted that cartography is but one of many metaphors she deploys -- the bad behavior underground.
		These are known as "alternative aggressions" and girls use them, she argues, because this is what's in their toolboxes when it comes to dealing with conflict.
		At its best, "Odd Girl Out" marks the beginning of a conversation about how girls relate to power, bringing America one step closer to examining how it is that women still make 76 cents for every dollar men make.

		Odd Girl Out begins with the premise that girls are socialized to be sweet with a double bind: they must value friendships; but they must not express the anger that might destroy them.
		Odd Girl Out is that rare book with the power to touch individual lives and transform the culture that constrains girls--and boys--from speaking the truth.
		For Simmons, the restraints that society imposes to prevent girls from venting feelings of competition, jealousy and anger is largely to blame for this type of bullying.

		Another interesting point is that girls and women often say that guys don't have true friends, because many guys based their friendships upon whether or not they do some activity, such as play golf together, from time to time.
		Many girls believe they are the only ones who have been put through torture from their close friends, or girls at school; after reading this book, they will realize they are not alone.
		This issue is brought up in the recent movie "Mean Girls" when one of the girls is being mistreated and neglected by her "best friend", she tries even harder to become friends with the girl who is mistreating her.

	NEA: May 2006 NEA Today - Odd Girl Out Excerpt
		A “good girl,” journalist Peggy Orenstein observes in Schoolgirls, is “nice before she is anything else-before she is vigorous, bright, even before she is honest.” She described the “perfect girl” as the girl who has no bad thoughts or feelings, the kind of person everyone wants to be with.
		Calling the anger of girls by its name would therefore challenge the most basic assumptions we make about “good girls.” It would also reveal what the culture does not entitle them to by defining what nice really means: Not aggressive.
		Each epithet points out the violation of her prescribed role as a caregiver: the bitch likes and is liked by no one; the lesbian loves not a man or children but another woman; the frigid woman is cold, unable to respond sexually; and the manly woman is too hard to love or be loved.

		There they are in the pages written all those years ago: the girls I found so beguiling in college, the young women I met coming to the big city for the first adult adventures of their lives.
		For her own reasons, she was kind enough to invite me to bring the unwieldy first draft of Odd Girl Out to New York.
		As I waited, I thought of what must be going through her mind: all those home-movie recollections of a quirky little girl with a passion for books and music, cautious with new friendships, reassuringly like her age-mates to the eye but disturbingly intense and eccentric in others.

		According to Odd Girl Out, the ages of 10-14 are the worst.
		There was a study out this past year about bullying and K.All I remember was that it was happening at a high rate,and kids teased in K were more likely to be targeted their entire school years to come.
		Let the child out of school and get them into the real world, spending more time with their family and with other children of different ages and it's a no brainer that those years are usually a lot less bumpy.

	Borders - Feature - Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls
		Girls tell stories of their anger in a culture that does not define their behaviors as aggression.
		Lacking a public identity or language, girls' nonphysical aggression is called "catty," "crafty," "evil," and "cunning." Rarely the object of research or critical thought, this behavior is seen as a natural phase in girls' development.
		Research confirms that parents and teachers discourage the emergence of physical and direct aggression in girls early on while the skirmishing of boys is either encouraged or shrugged off.

		If you call a book "odd girl out," and you promise to discuss unpopularity, you have an obligation to address those of us who were the real losers.
		Also, anecdotal interviews, even with 300 girls, are not grounds for totally dismissing the research on unpopularity (what little of it that exists anyway).
		She names physical signs apparent in bullied girls, which is useful because so often girls' aggression is often subtle and hard to detect.
