    I'm step-mum to a wonderful young woman of 20 and when she was growing up and going through school, what shocked me most was the girl-on-girl hate campaigns that go on.

    "Sisterhood" sounds a bit hippyish, but I really think that women supporting women is vital, in all aspects of life.

    I suspect that most of the hate campaigns are fueled by self doubt, low confidence and the insecurities of growing teens. It would be really nice to see young girls supporting each other rather than !!!!!ing behind each others backs!
    You had me at your proper use of "you're".
