Girls are terrible to each other.

Girls are each other’s own worst enemies.

But…WHY?

Why is it that guys can be each other’s brothers but girls can’t seem to get it together enough to be each other’s sisters? Why are girls so goddamn catty? Where is the love? Where is the loyalty?

I want answers and I want them now. Yes, I’m being serious. I have questions and I want answers. So, give em to me. Explain the reasoning behind this girl on girl hatred.

1. Why do girls call another girl pretty or skinny with a tone of disgust? You know what I’m talking about. Imagine this sentence being exchanged from one girl to another girl, about a girl passing on the street: “Oh my god…..she is so….skinny…(or, if you prefer, skinnnnayyyyy).” Why the attitude problem?

2. Why do girls call other girls sluts? Any girl who has thought about the meaning of the word ‘SLUT’ knows it is offensive. The thinking girl knows that this word can be used to describe a woman who flirts with another woman’s boyfriend or a woman who has slept with people she didn’t love. The thinking girl knows that there is no definition to this word and that it is hurtful to all women alike, so why do some girls say it?

3. Why are girls so judgmental? Why do you have to break down 1,000,000 walls before a girl will let you in to be her friend? I feel like tons of my friends sit at the bar ready to claw any girl who is nice to them. What does a girl have to do to make some freakin’ girl friends?

4. Why do girls assume that every girl their boyfriend and/or aspiring lover is friends with is either f*cking him or wants to f*ck him? Girls should know better than anyone that we can be friends with a boy without wanting to do him. So why don’t girls give other girls this benefit of the doubt?

5. Why do girls gossip? Why do girls swear they can keep a secret just so they can have dirt to tell everyone else? Why are girls such bad friends to each other sometimes?

I want to know your answers.

The truth is though, even as we get older, leave high school behind, go to college and move on with our lives, those type of girls will always be there.

Seriously; I am 23 years old and know girls, to this day, that cannot leave the high school drama behind when it comes to growing up, getting over the past and creating lasting bonds with people that are real, genuine and sincere. High school was 5 years ago!

When it comes to friends – and in various other aspects of my life – I believe in quality over quantity. My best girlfriends to this day are my girlfriends from when I was 14 years old. We’ve grown up together into adults who continue to treasure our friendship. The three of us have all experienced times where girls have latched onto us, gotten close, become our “friends” of sorts, then moved on when they felt the time was right.

It sucked at the time, but we don’t miss them now; we have eachother.

Being that I truly value my friends above all else, I just do not understand these conniving social climbers. These girls who love ‘em and leave ‘em on a monthly basis. How can someone be friends with someone else who said horrible things about them? How can they trust someone who slept with their then-boyfriend? How can anyone consider that a friendship?

I don’t do this; my friends are my friends. People change and move on, yes, but there’s a difference between growing apart and being fake. I almost feel bad for these girls for not understanding what true friendship – loyalty, trust, true connection – really feels like.

Almost.

The truth is ladies and gents: those girls, that drama from high school, may never go away. My friends and I still see these girls when we go out and they walk by as if they are God’s gifts to creation. Unfortunately, what they don’t realize, is that we walk by already knowing they’re not. And knowing that, by next week, they probably won’t be seen together again.
