In this updated edition, educator and bullying expert Rachel Simmons gives girls, parents, and educators proven and innovative strategies for navigating social dynamics in person and online, as well as brand new classroom initiatives and step-by-step parental suggestions for dealing with conventional bullying. With up-to-the-minute research and real-life stories, Odd Girl Out continues to be the definitive resource on the most pressing social issues facing girls today.

Review

Praise for ODD GIRL OUT

"There has not been so much interest in young females since psychologist Mary Pipher chronicled anorexics and suicide victims in her 1994 bestseller, Reviving Ophelia."--The Washington Post

"Provocative . . . Cathartic to any teen or parent trying to find company . . . it will sound depressingly familiar to any girl with a pulse."--Detroit Free Press

"Encourages girls to address one another when they feel angry or jealous, rather than engage in the rumor mill."--Chicago Tribune

"Peels away the smiley surfaces of adolescent female society to expose one of girlhood's dark secrets: the vicious psychological warfare waged every day in the halls of our . . . schools."--San Francisco Chronicle

"Passionate and beautifully written. A significant contribution to our understanding of the psychology of girls." —Michael Thompson, co-author of Raising Cain

An American School Board Journal Notable Book in Education

Review for men

August 5, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you are a man seeking to understand why the woman you love has found herself cast out of a group, or if you want to understand your teenage daughter's challenges to forming long lasting friendships.

Or if you are wondering how you ended up in the middle of a conflict with no idea how to help either side.

This book was very revealing to me.

Oh My God

February 13, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The writing is exquisite, but the subject matter is gut-retching: girl aggression. I loved the way the author used language to emphasize the seriousness of what she is communicating: “girl version of a stealth bomber” (p 69), “silent and smooth as a marble” (p75), “conflicts hang like leaking gas in the air” (p 69). As I read the book and its truth hit me, all I could think is, “How did I survive?” and “This is why I am how I am”. My reaction seems similar to the author’s and some of the person’s she includes in her book. It seems that many of us—girls and grown women—have reached the same conclusions as a result of the aggressive behavior we experienced as students: we stopped trusting parents (p53) and other authority figures such as teachers; we don’t trust women (p. 55); we believe that people can and do erase people (p79); and, school can’t be trusted to protect its students (p115). The author reveals that females aren’t taught how to create relationships nor are we taught that conflict is natural. We aren't taught that there are mean people and toxic friends/relationships. The basic problem seems to be that girls/women are taught to be one way, but, in the real world, an opposite way is required. The author spends two chapters giving detailed instruction and examples of how parents can help their daughters deal with hidden aggression. She, also, discusses how teachers can spot and deal with covert aggression. She writes about modern day instruments of torture: FaceBook, sexting and other means of delivering attacks. All parents, no matter how perfect they think their daughters or the schools of their daughters, need to carefully read, and then use the information given in this book. Doing this could save their daughters much concern and possible damage.

Ms. Bohemian

but I was actually disappointed in this book

July 9, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I understand there are not a lot of books published about the phenomenon of girl bullying, but I was actually disappointed in this book. Especially after reading such rave reviews. The book is mostly a retelling of story after story of girl bullying. While that can be validating to read, I was really hoping for actual advice, & strategies for navigating situations with a child who is being bullied. I didn't really seem to find that in this book. Of note, there was just a brief sentence mentioned around the idea that extracurricular activities or some type of hobby could counteract the effect of being bullied. I hope that the author in the future could develop that idea, or perhaps add an amendment to her book that included more strategies for parents to help their children. Especially since parents or the first line of defense against a child being bullied.

Help for parents and teachers

March 2, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The insidious nature of attacks by girls on other girls, which starts when they are still little darlings in grade school, is very hard to understand. This books really helps. I think every teacher should be required to read it in order to learn about the subtleties of the symptoms to look for; then maybe they can at least not discount the reactions of children who are being attacked, so they don't feel so alone. I sure would like more advice on how to prevent it in the first place.

Perfect resource at the right time

September 20, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is an eye opener - even though I experienced the reality of mean girl behaviors (to me and by me); I didn't know how to articulate and process it in a healthy way with my own daughter who was was definitely the Odd Girl Out in Middle School. Now that she is in HS, the maturing of her peers has improved the issue, but the maturity in her along with the content of this book gave her skills to manage it. I have given school principals and deans copies - one actually read it and had good feedback.
It is a reality our girls face - it is hard to address, we have to support and advocate for them.

not enough how to help and felt like it needed heavy editing to get to the point

Too wordy, not enough how to help and felt like it needed heavy editing to get to the point. Otherwise, I enjoyed the help parts, once I found them in the back chapters of the book.

READ THIS ASAP!!!

January 16, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This should be required reading for EVERY mother of a tween or soon to be teenage girl. The wealth of information and insight opened my eyes to what my girl was really going through out there in "girl world" My daughter is now 21 and many many times has actually thanked me for reading this book when she was younger.
When is the last time ANY 21 yr old actually THANKED a parent for something they did back when they were growing up?
READ IT READ IT READ IT!!!
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!

Not helpful to myself or my teen

February 25, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book to help my teen process some of the behavior she sees around her - it wasn't very helpful to me as parent, and not appropriate for her. This book looks at some of the structure and function of bullying, but it offers little (if anything) in terms of practical advice. I such a book exists, I'll be glad to buy it.
