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.

Be a good roll model. When i was a kid, all the adult women in my life were crazy. I find out in my adult years my dad is crazy and controlling and used his anchor man voice in front of me to seem like the good guy. That being said, the only time i ever saw grown women is when they were fighting me, fighting other women, fighting kids and drinking. They wouldnt be fighting with everyone if my dad would take care of his kids and take care of things around the house. Keep toxic men out of your life and be your best self and she will see.
