Cat Fights on YouTube

Have you heard about this? I turned on the TV today and saw the latest in sick teen videos. Basically, a group of cheerleaders decided to film their way to fame by physically attacking and beating up another girl for 30 minutes. At one point she was even knocked unconscious. What the heck is going on?

I know that we have continued to become desensitized to violence in media and our culture, but when is it going to stop? What is it going to take for it to stop? What is sad to me is that bullying and violence like this happen every day in our schools, backyards, and communities. What is even more disturbing is that now we are planning and posting these things to video internet sites.

As young girls, when are we going to stop hurting one another with our words and fists? When are we going to figure out that we have more power when we work together rather than try to bring each other down?

I would love to know your thoughts about this topic. How much violence do you see among girls, verbally or physically? What is it going to take to stop this? What can we do here at Girls With Dreams?
