SALT LAKE CITY — Meanness in girls can start when they are toddlers, a Brigham Young University study has found.
The study found that girls as young as 3 or 4 will use manipulation and peer pressure to get what they want.
“It could range from leaving someone out, to telling their friends not to play with someone, to saying, ‘I'm not going to invite you to my birthday party,' ” said co-author Craig Hart. “Some kids are really adept at being mean and nasty.”
The study is the first to link relational aggression and social status in preschoolers. It appears in the current issue of the journal Early Education and Development.
Researchers long have known that adolescents, particularly girls, engage in this sort of behavior, called relational aggression, to maintain their social status.
“But it is striking that these aggressive strategies are already apparent … in preschool,” Nelson said. “Preschoolers appear to be more sophisticated in their knowledge of social behaviors than credit is typically given them.”
Other research has found that up to 20 percent of preschool and school-age girls display such behavior, Hart said. It also shows up in boys, but much less frequently.

What's more striking is these strategies seem to only pass after the preschoolers are age 97 or so

It's so true!!
My daughter started showing just how mean she could be at that age. She's not as bad as some kids can get, though, thank gawd. She rather "tell you like it is" than manipulate you, at least. lol

Yeah, boys just call you faggot and kick you while your down. I swear, they maintain their social status by saying the words faggot and jew as many times as they can. SERIOUSLY. I would rather be manipulated by vicious girls than go through catholic school again...
*scream* of course, now those boys are married and graduating college... I tell them I'm gayer than a three dollar bill... now their all cool with me.
prolly cuz I look like a WWF gimp and drink more beer than them.
weird combination.

I would say that Girls or Guys that pretend to care about you and then make you feel like shit are worse.. cause if they beat the shit out of you.. at least you can call 911 and have "Cops" show up and film them being arrested.. *looks for bagel's in the fridge*
