Purgatorily Yours

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Yet, some people argue passionately about everything. They enjoy testing the strength of another’s convictions, or else they have a mood disorder. Perhaps they are simply bullies. Or it’s PMS.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has a wide variety of symptoms, including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression. An estimated 3 of every 4 menstruating women experience some form of premenstrual syndrome.
Quotation from MayoClinic.com, Premenstrual Syndrome

[FYI: Don't argue the fact that 3 out of 4 is almost 75%.]

Odd Girl Out

Odd Girl Out

I hated high school. I felt isolated because certain classmates targeted me. It made me feel insecure and powerless. Teasing made me feel self-conscious. It was not a happy childhood.

I convinced her that it would be fun to mess up Regina George’s life. So I had her pretend to be friends with Regina, and then she would come to my house after and we would just laugh about all the dumb stuff Regina said.
Dialogue from the movie Mean Girls

The stereotype of a bully is that he’s male, overweight and a stranger. But a lot of what we are learning about girls is that they hurt their friends.
Quotation from Rachel Simmons

Never Challenge the Challenged

I’m an easy target. People tease
me because they get a reaction.
It’s too hard for me to ignore it.
I like to have the last word…

How to Poke Fun (Psychology Today)
Teasing and Bullying: No Laughing Matter (Scholastic.com)

“The bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon.”
Quotation by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“People who feel insecure in social situations never miss a chance
to exhibit their dominance over close, submissive friends, whom they
put down publicly, in front of everyone—by teasing, for example.”
Quotation by Friedrich Nietzsche, Sämtliche Werke: Kritische Studienausgabe
