Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls

Their has always been many situations in schools, were groups of people make cliques, and somebody is left out and feels out casted . Unfortunately, I have been on both sides. Both sides feel awkward and uncomfortable in many different ways. When been on the side of an alliance or group and others are left out and feel out of place, I began to remember and feel what is the feeling of not having a friend and somebody that is next to you, and will help you when in need. In some ways it reminded me of the times that I was on the other side. While being on the other side, left out I would just feel out of place and in some ways lonely and very uncomfortable, not necessarily depressed or frustrated but just having a peculiar feeling. People bully others for several reasons. A reason that may lead a person to bully someone, is being bullied at a young age and building up aggression, and finding a point and finally deciding to let it out by hurting and making others feel bad. The bully wants to show others the feeling and pain that they had and felt when they were being bullied. Another reason, that may lead to making a person becoming a bully is not having a healthy environment, either at school or at home and they may find themselves not receiving the proper attention that they feel that they deserve. By becoming a bully and hurting someone and acting out in class it will lead to people and teachers around them to paying more attention to them and they will feel better knowing, people know who they are.
