teenage females are screwed up in the head

I'm at the St. Louis Bread Co. in good ole' Blue's Town, doing some work, and playing with the free wireless internet.
Two high school girls just sat down at the table next to mine, and they're having a conversation I overhear far too often:

"She's such a &*%@...
"She's doesn't even have anying to be conceited about."
"If she lost weight..."
"I used to be nice to her, but she did ____, so now I just blow her off."
"Why would she even think I wanted to talk to her/be her friend..."

Why do they do this? Why can't they talk about something positive happening in their lives? Why can't they talk about the weather or world events? Why do their lives revolve around how everyone else is such a <insert your own deragatory term here>?

It's not even talk about how good they are, but just talk about how no one else is as good as they think they are, or as good as somebody else thinks somebody might be. It's all tearing down the other; the only boasting is boasting about how they should've acted even witchier toward their nemeses than they did, and "aren't I good to not have been as bad as I felt justified to be?"

I'm so disgusted by this.
Lord, have mercy.

Hi,

I'm sorry to bother you but I see that you're in the New Orleans Metro and I've posted a quick question on my blog, re: New Orleans post Katrina. 

If you have an opinion, I'd really appreciate even just a yes or no as I need to decide about this upcoming trip very soon.

Thanks so much and I'm sorry if I've bothered you -

Summer

As an aside, I grew up in St. Louis and the STL Bread Co has awesome bagels!  Yum!

I agree the whole negative conversation thing really bothers me. I am under the life motto that I have to live everyday like it was the last (with my whole heart condition thing) so bothering with trivial things like that makes me sick. I try to resolve most issues immiediatly now, some things I do like to discuss but for me most thigns go into the past so quickly I don't bother bringing them up again.

Oh the joys of being a teenage girl. When I overhear convos like that I am disgusted and then I remember that I used to be just like that. I was queen of putting others down. It's said but a great testimony of how the Lord is changing me daily as I allow him to. So I pray those girls and all the ones I always overhear. That the Lord may touch them and become so real to them.

it's part of the self-serving mentality -- the need to pump up the self by elevating it above the other. Also, the victim mentality plays into it: "I'm such a pitiful victim because [Person X] did [Action Verb Y] to me. I have to complain. Sulk sulk sulk!"

We are a deject and wretched race, aren't we?
