Synopsis
Sugar and spice and all that's nice? Not quite. It's tough to be a girl. Girls are mean to each other. Most girls will admit that they have been a victim of a mean girl. In fact, many will say that all girls are basically mean. Whether they're arguing about a boy, teasing a girl because of how she looks, or making up rumors to torment others, girls can be just plain ruthless. This one-of-a-kind book can help end the cycle of meanness. Mean Girls is a call to spiritual strength. A call to stand firm. It calls girls to face the beasts in their lives head on. In short, it's the answer girls need for the problem they never thought could go away.

Super sized advice
29. September 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This book looks gorgeous and its effect on my daughter has been AMAZING! She loved "Dateable" (by Hayley) so this book was an easy purchase for me.
First off, this book is not for dealing with physical bullying, rather, for verbal meanness. This is not a book to help prevent (or even understand Columbine.) Hayley DiMarco tackles the all too common "everyday mean", mean that is just written off as being ingrained into the catty female culture. Hayley gives refreshing counter-culture advice, one that potentially makes peace and wins over enemies while teaching a valuable lesson that the world doesn't revolve around "me" and my "rights".
While a few people might have a pessimistic view of Hayley's out of mainstream methods (she discourages confrontations and the whole "how did that make you feel?" encounter and encourages girls to not take themselves so seriously and focus on higher things), I found the advice highly insightful coming from a woman who was scarred by mean girls in high school all the way through through corporate America. She talks about having all guy friends as a result and rediscovering how she had to "relearn" how to be friends with women.
The last thing you feel like after reading the book is that of a victim. This book gives plenty of practical advice for teen girls dealing with mean, and a bigger spiritual perspective to grow on.
Highly recommended for the teen girl in your life that is open to the concept that life is bigger than just her. If she needs the world to revolve around her, she's probably going to come up empty and still searching for someone else to blame after reading this book (unless she has an epiphany!)
Every teen girl should have a chance to read it. Some of the greatest spiritual figures in history have lived by a similar walk that how you treat people matters more than how they treat you. This message is lost on the cynical. My teen daughter read this book hoping to find help with her mean girl problem and discovered the ways she was encouraging or even being mean. The changes in her have been simply amazing! A must read!!

Good Book but a lot of repitition
10. Januar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Mean Girls by DiMarco has some great points to offer and she helps spell out what different kinds of mean look like. Unfortunately, she repeats a lot of the same information in different formats and the book becomes redundant. I have been using this book for a junior high small group and it became difficult to really get into any meat after the first 3-4 weeks. For an individual girl, I think it can be helpful to label the subtle ways girls can be mean and ways they can move beyond mean to live a life committed to God first. I appreciate the way she calls it what it is and challenges teens to raise the bar in how they are living. I think watching the movie, Mean Girls, adds more to the book, even though the two are unrelated. Overall, it is a decent book.

DiMarco tells it like it is!
2. Oktober 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is totally awesome! I sure do wish I had it when I was in high school. I was one who did the tormenting and was also on the flip side as well. DiMarco's style of standing up and being the bigger person - ignoring the bully - is exactly what's needed! You bully someone because it's fun, because it provokes a response. If it doesn't, you move on to something else.
Teaching teens to turn the other cheek is the best lesson one can learn these days. If we are truly striving to be like Jesus, why are we trying to get even, trying to tattle, or trying not to befriend those who aren't 'cool'. Man - I'm sure that Jesus doesn't think I'm the coolest person in the world when I'm not living at my best. But I'm glad He loves me and wants to be my best friend no matter what.
There are MANY valuable lessons to be learned through this book. Girls just need to be receptive to them and remember we are supposed to be Christlike in our behaviors - not like the world. And that's not always easy.
