Something in particular that has been disturbing me, however, is how catty girls are or can be. It's as if nothing is good enough for them. I am indeed a female, and am not in the slightest attempting to bash my own kind, I've just noticed this more and more lately in teenage girls. "Did you see what she's wearing? My GOD it's like she got dressed blind." "I can't believe she even said that about -insert band name here-, it's like she lacks any musical taste" and so on. I can't go one day without hearing a female say one negative thing about another female. My question is why? Why are you being so horrible to this individual or just making comments that are so irrelevant?
I'm not trying to make myself look like a saint, I'll admit that I'm guilty of making these comments as well. Now that I'm aware of the potential pain that they can cause to an individual, I steer myself away from making these comments. You never know what kind of battle an individual is facing, or what kind of a comment may hit home for them.
While being 100% kind 100% of the time is fairly impossible, just think before you speak.

I definitely see where you are coming from with this. It is crazy to me how people spend so much time analyzing what everyone else is doing when they only need to be concerned with themselves. Girls are especially bad about this and sometimes it feels like I'm back in high school when I over hear the things people say. Hopefully these people will learn to mature over time and remember that if you don't have anything nice to say, you probably shouldn't say anything at all.

I completely agree! I think that those people who speak so negatively about people of their own gender are either insecure, jealous, or have nothing better to do than be caddy. What gives those people the right to speak badly of someone else? No one is perfect, so no one has the right to speak negatively of anyone else unless they are willing to hear something negative about themselves. I am far from perfect, but at least I am aware of my flaws and work to solve them opposed to being ignorant and point out other's flaws. Everyone learned the golden rule in first grade, so why have some of us stopped following it?
