The classic work on female bullying now revised and updated to include new material on cyberbullying and the dangers of life online.

Today the dirty looks, taunting notes, and social exclusion that plague girls' friendships have gained new momentum in cyberspace. 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. "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 "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 "Simmons examines how such 'alternative aggression'-where girls use their relationship with the victim as a weapon-flourishes and its harmful effects . . . Simmons makes an impassioned plea that no form of bullying be permitted."-Publishers Weekly
