You may know this, but other readers may not: What you’ve described is bullying. It’s how girls emotionally beat down other girls when they feel threatened.

Thank you for shedding spiritual light on the problem. I would encourage your readers to stand up for the bullied person whenever they see this going on. Don’t do it and don’t participate in it when you see or hear it. Considerately but firmly confront the person doing the bullying. That’s the only way bullying is stopped – when a “strong” person defends the “weak” person.

You have given all of us reason to search our own hearts. May the Lord call this to our memory if we’re ever tempted to treat anyone condescending or contemptously and may we not give in to the flesh.

Thanks again for the article~
