Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

Published

Hey guys , Happy Holidays,

  I keep having this reoccurring problem in most of my pre-reqs like AP1 , AP2 and micro , even in other health-related classes. There is always a clique of girls and a few guys here and there whom seem to try to pick on people's weaknesses in the classes or downright. For the most part it's the people whom do very well in the class so it confuses me, it's like they sniff our people to bother and it gets annoying (in one particular case a girl made it her duty to call me the b-word every lab rotation , and one girl always embarrassed me during anatomy reviews ). I've had a couple of experiences with girls like these but talking to my advisor they said to toughen it up a bit because some might end up in nursing school. I went through a traumatic bullying situation ( some girls thought it would be nice to raise a little hell around students in the classes that our prof had) and I had to drop .. But how do you deal with the mean girls and guys / cliques and negativity that comes with the science pre-reqs and most importantly if I were to see them in nursing school how do I ignore them.. do I alert the instructor. I just find it weird how we are studying to help others yet in the same breath someone torments another for no reason. Any experiences?

I'm sorry you went through that are you okay?

It was a long battle, but I came out alright. I do avoid girls who are mean. I don't want another catfight.

If you let them get to you, they win. DON'T LET THEM WIN.

When I look at mean girls, I think about how pathetic, empty and meaningless their lives must be if this is how they entertain themselves. It's sad and I feel sorry for them.

You do you, girl. Be the best you can be, ignore all the B.S. and focus on your future.

 Thanks ? I plan to do that this semester! I'm gonna retake the courses needed and keep to myself and adopt a more positive mindset to get through the next 3 1/2 months.

I think that either handling it yourself and like setting boundaries with them or either going to the school Dean would be good options
