I haven't read all the replies, but here are some things I thought of.
Girls define and keep the social order in schools, mostly by being mean and nasty. Girl bullying is nasty because it is so insidious, and works by undermining the person with others and herself. It can be hard for teachers to see, and to pin down.
The girls who define the social order in highschool tend to peak in highschool. They will never be more than they are at 16, 17 or 18. At some level they know this, so they try to make everyone else appear to be less than they are. Smart people want more than highschool status, and go on to do wonderful things. I seriously doubt that Condoleeza Rice, Sonia Sotomayer, Elinor Ostrom or Carly Fiorina were the high status, mean girls in highschool. So, yes they are mean, but in the greater world, they are a trivial annoyance that will pass.
Congrats for being willing to stand up to them.

Wow. I am amazed with how many smart people are on BYC! Jeez la weez, you all are making this much easier for me to see why they are acting like they do.
Thanks Mom'sfolly

Boys (and later in life, older boys) will go out with certain girls in the hopes of gettin' some. Girls that seem easier to get some from will be the ones the boys go out with. The boys are looking for only one thing from these girls, and it isn't engaging conversations or good cooking.
Imagine, for a minute, having a boy go out with you because he thinks he can score. He wouldn't be interested in your grades, family, or animals. He'd pay for your movie ticket, maybe dinner, considering it to be a means to an end. If he didn't score, he'd be ticked off.
Your guy friends go out with those girls simply because they are interested in a 'good time' this weekend, not building a life.
I bet you know a guy or two that doesn't go out with that type of girl.

that is horrible. i have the same kind of experiences at school myself. ive lost count of the times i have felt the burning desire to drop kick a guy in one of his pressure points and knock him out for a while. only thing restraining me is my perfect behaviour record and my not wanting to get a ticket for fighting.
Being a boy sucks to becouse im a lil chubby some of them make fun of me then I go ahead and tackle them and they shut there mouths.I still have friends to back me up so im happy about that too.As long as you have friends to back you up theres nothin to woory about.(But seriously I guess tackling people isnt really nice)

This is hilarious! It reminds me of one of my bright, shining moments. A boy, his friend and friend's GF came over to my house (high school years) and we were outside. This boy (who liked me, mind you) told his friend that I was cute, but it wouldn't hurt for me to lose 5 pounds. I kneed him in the *****.
