Bullies! Understanding Girl on Girl Aggression

On a daily basis more than 160,000 girls and young women nationwide report missing school out of fear of aggression from other girls. Girl-to-girl aggression manifests as social alienation, exclusion, and hostility such as spreading rumors, intimidating glares, “backstabbing” and physical violence. This session provides an overview of relational aggression and its prevention.

Annette Klinefelter, M.Ed, is the executive director for Girls Incorporated of NW Oregon, a not-for-profit organization which inspires girls to be strong, smart and bold. Presented in partnership with Portland Parks and Recreation.
