 Hey girls,
It's Katani. Dealing with QOM (that's short for Queens of Mean) can be a hassle, and EVERY school has them. Right now you can probably think of at least one girl you know who fits the QOM description, am I right? Abigail Adams Junior High has Anna and Joline as reigning QOM, that's for sure.
But you know what? There are lots of ways you can try to get along with—and maybe even become FRIENDS with—the QOM at your school. I know what you're thinking: "Is she kidding?" Girl, I am not. And to prove it, here is a Kgirl list of four ways to deal with those mean girls.
Do the things you love to do. Don't let the QOM (or anyone else!) convince you that your interest in, say, table tennis isn't cool. That's what makes you unique!
Keep some perspective. Remember that QOM put other people down because they might actually feel bad about themselves. Makes you feel a little better to look at it that way, right?
Don't participate in gossip. This might seem obvious, but just like you don't deserve to be gossiped about, other girls don't either. And that includes the QOM.
Talk to a trusted adult. Your mom, your grandma, a teacher—anyone you usually go to for good advice can help you out here.
Got it? Good!
Read about the QOM at AAJH in book 10, Just Kidding.

She is DEFINATELY A QOM! 
What I do isjust ignore them. If they make fun of you, just walk by. Eventually they will stop. The only reason they bother you is this: They love to male funof people so everybody will think that they're cool and popular! 
I tell my mom, and she tells me to look out for myself, and not get mixed-up in that kind of thing. She's always telling me, "When you get older some girls get meaner. Strach that. ALOT of girls get mean when they get older."
