What is GOOF?
"Girls of Our Future" (GOOF) aims to create unity among teens by promoting respect, compassion and kindness through peace, independence, strength and inspiration.
Girls often have conflicts between one another. It may be about a boy, a friend, family, or something very personal. Whatever the case may be, relational aggression happens to a lot of girls in middle school and high school.
- Social Sabotage
- Gossiping
- Starting Rumors
- Backstabbing
These are the kind of things that feed into relational aggression among girls. You can help prevent the aggression by not letting yourself get sucked into it; don't gossip about others. Talk issues out with the person you have a problem with instead of going behind their back, and don't jump to conclusions.
If you feel you are being bullied, talk to a teacher, counselor, parent or a GOOF representative.
