Girl on girl hate

By -



You know what I'm really sick and tired of seeing? Girl on girl hate.

I've blogged about this numerous times before, but it's a never ending issue, and so I thought that today, I'd raise my opinions on the issue again.

Here are some genuine tweets that I have seen this week, by girls, about girls:

"How can girls post pics in their underwear n their bf not get mad, I've been with guys that have a go at me for wearin a revealin top"

"Girls who brag about their body and think they are some next bad bitch, when in reality they just look and sound like a Chihuahua"

"Do u notice it's only the single ladies complaining about the crazy girlfriends???"

"Girls are bitches, I hate them all"

I could go on- the point is, the amount of nastiness I see coming from girls, about girls, every single day is absolutely unreal. I mean, look at those tweets I've featured- half of them don't concern the business of anybody else anyway! Who the hell cares if a girl is talking about how good her body is, if a girl is posing in underwear* or if someone is confident about themselves across social media? God forbid a woman is comfortable in her own skin and actually loves herself!

*That being said, the girl must be 18+ or it's illegal. Also, if your boyfriend tells you what you can and can't wear, that's not okay- it's actually a sign of abuse. So just think about that before judging someone else...

 Why are girls so quick to tear each other down? A lot of the time it's down to insecurity and jealousy, yes, but more often than not it is literally just someone who is bored whilst sat online and so chooses to sit and hate on people for no real reason.

What does anyone in this world gain from writing something nasty about someone else online? Maybe a few retweets and favourites, likes or shares, that for a few fleeting minutes make you feel popular, but then what? Nothing. You gain a reputation for being nasty, you have permanently flawed your digital footprint which could impact on a future career, even if you delete the nasty tweet or status. You hurt someone's feelings, without even knowing what they might already be going through behind closed doors. There is no real benefit.


Now, I'm not claiming to be perfect. I'll hold my hands up right now and say that in the past I have written nasty, indirect tweets and statuses about girls. I have also had them- plenty of them- written about me. The difference is though, that this has stopped as I've grown up. Tweets and statuses have stopped (mostly) about me. We have all grown up and moved on and realised that slating someone over social media just isn't cool. Plus, we're all too busy leading our lives to care about what anyone else is or isn't doing.

If you spend your time observing someone's life just to criticise it online, you should probably take a minute or two to sit back and understand why you're doing what you're doing. Why do you care how that girl is posing? Why do you care what she's wearing? Why do you care how much make up she's wearing? Why do you care how many boys she's slept with? Literally none of this is any of your concern, so why do you feel you need to comment on it?

Re evaluate your actions. Pause before you hit that post button. Is this going to make you, or anybody else, happy? No? Then don't do it. Stop caring about how other people are living their life and start living your life instead. You'll be far happier- and so will everyone else.

Girl on girl hate is a vicious and unnecessary crime. Let's start lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down, okay?

Love from,

    I totally agree with what you are saying. I have experienced girl on girl hate offline, and it just doesn't make any sense. There's no point in being bitchy! Girls should lift each other up, not put each other down. When I see/hear the nasty things some girls say about other girls, it makes my blood boil. I've been on the receiving end of bitchiness many times in my life - through going to girls' schools and living in a girl-only household at university. It's so catty and unnecessary, but you're right in what you said - girls who hate on other girls are just jealous, bitter and insecure, and they don't like women who love and respect themselves.

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
