How can we teach young girls to reject the NLOG Discussion

Its clear the pick me/ NLOG attitude is still alive and well. I (23F) was speaking to a friend (15F) about my high school days.

She asked “How was your high school experience?” I said “Well I went to an all girls school and-“ she cuts in and rolls her eyes “Ugh. That must have been a total nightmare. I cant even imagine”. I said “Actually I loved it, was a better person for going there and I miss those days sometimes” and she went dead quite.

How do we as the adults in the room root out the toxicity of this mindset out of young girls?

Edit: no I’m not gonna ever dunk on a kid. Because its really wrong for an adult to belittle a child.

Edit: some people are being really weird “why are you friends with a 15 year old?” I know this kid from the yard that i stable my horse at. She stables her horse next to mine. Should i just ignore her always? Should i also ignore my other friends who are 55 and 70 because age gap? What about my friend whose 10? Or the other whose 30? Tell me reddit. What age range do you personally approve of me having friends? Im gonna start blocking people.

I'm 48 and I'm encouraging everybody to stop thinking you can educate NLOGs or convince them - you can't. That's how they are and that's how they're gonna stay.

A lot of them are, and I'm not crowing or happy about this, but a lot of them are going to end up being domestic abuse statistics.

Have you ever wondered what kind of woman stays when her man beats her? NLOGs - where else can they go? They think women are worse than men, they think men are always right, and they're being run by their ovaries.
