Today at Sisterhood, we had a special guest, Audrey S., a Sister from last year who is now at PCFC. Audrey shared her wisdom with the PLMS Sisters about drama and mean girls and cliques (oh my!). Her main message is that drama still exists in 9th grade, but middle school drama is probably worse. When you go to high school, if you limit yourself to just one group/clique, you will miss out; give your kindness to everyone. In 9th grade, people are starting to notice you for who you are, and that is refreshing. However, body image and inner drama can get worse, as boys in high school sometimes objectify the girls. So, be good to yourselves, Sisters, and don't let 'them' affect how you feel about yourself, because nice goes farther than sexy in the long run.
What do you see in terms of drama, mean girls and cliques at PLMS? And how do you stay strong? Leave a comment, Sister!

Who is "them," do you think?
I mean, typically we think of the media, but...it has to be more than that.
wow. thanks audrey! its so nice to see your funny take on sad topics, like today.
i think that there is NO real drama at PLMS, and we have not much to talk about so we make it up. even the guys. guys are so stupid to think people believe them when they say, "Dude, my girlfriend and I hooked up last night." and "Yeah, its true, my girlfriend is older, but i can take that." its so stupid! we have to stop putting preasure on eachother to say those things, because rumors hurt other people ,bad.
Hey girls-
I just wanted to say thank you so much for having me on Thursday. it was so much fun to be at PLMS again, to see my sisters, and to just be able to talk again! I miss you guys so much.
If you have any more questions you want to ask, or that you didn't get to, just ask Ms. Elliot for my e-mail. I'd love to talk to you. Again, I miss my sisters!

Betsy--Ms. Elliot here. That is a very generous offer. We usually have 15-30 Sisters in each lunch on any given week. Sisters, if you have any favorites you want to share with Betsy, feel free to leave a comment here. Otherwise, I'm sure everyone will be happy with what you bring to share, Betsy. Thanks, Sister!
Anon 1 here:
Betsey, bring whatever You don't like! That's really, really nice of YOu....
On to this topic...I certantly agree with Anon 2. It's a little like how people changes so much over the summer from 5th to 6th grade...You know, like they had to fit the stereotype of "middle schoolers."
Why do we always insist on being nice to people who have repeatedly hurt us?
Anon. 6 - i think it could be a few reasons...one, we might percieve that the person didn't/doesn't really mean us harm, or maybe they do, but we're still afraid of hurting their feelings...i know i have an almost paranoid fear of hurting somebody or making them think badly of me. (On another note...is it selfish to care what others think of you?)
Maybe it's just a natural instinct to help other people?
It could also be, in some cases, a need to fit in (i'm thinking with bad populars, here)...we might put up with things we shouldn't because we think it'll make us accepted...
Stay gold ppl~
