To Real Life ‘Mean Girls’
Did you know that 160,000 children miss school
every day due to fear of attack or intimidation
by other students? Bullying is an all-too-prevalent
issue in today’s schools that can sometimes
lead to dangerous violence. Today’s guests
want to stop the bullying in their own lives
before it’s too late. Learn their stories
below:
Though these two were friends once upon a time,
Tiffanie says that Shaniqua’s bullying
now makes her scared to even attend school. Shaniqua
says that she considered their friendship over
when she heard that Tiffanie and her mother Catrina
were making racial slurs against her. However,
she and her mother Tonya insist that Shaniqua
hasn’t done anything wrong. Video Clip:
Larry points out that unconfirmed hearsay is
at the heart of this problem.

Color
differences have caused Kia’s and Akeira’s
true colors to shine through. Each girl says
the other harasses her based on her heritage
(Kia is African-American, while Akeira is bi-racial).
Complicating matters is the fact that Kia is
friends with Akeira’s little sister Lauren.
After mediation from Larry, the girls agreed
to stop the name-calling and shook hands.Izzy
