◎Introduction
Why did a close friend yesterday suddenly ignore me today? Why do some people hide and say bad things behind others' backs, exclude others in groups, and even bully others? Compared with boys who "solve problems with fists", aggression between girls seems to be more secretive and complicated. However, from parents to teachers, most people regard it as the nature of girls, rather than a serious problem that needs to be solved urgently.
In this book, Rachel interviewed girls who were once targets of bullying and bullies, confronting the distorted social culture that has caused trouble and even trauma to countless women. Compared with boys, girls often bear more social requirements: being liked is more important than expressing true thoughts, and being a "perfect girl" is more important than having an independent personality. Avoiding conflicts and anger makes girls accustomed to using "alternative attacks" to deal with disputes, and also makes them frequently fall into the quagmire of interpersonal wars.
"Girls' Underground War" hopes to reconstruct society's understanding of the problem of female bullying and provide practical solutions for parents and schools. It is the common expectation of the author and interviewees of this book that every girl can learn to respect and listen to her inner voice and speak out her true feelings.
