I’ll never teach my daughter

 I’ll never teach my daughter that she needs to be a mean girl just to fit in.

I want her to know she never has to tear someone else down to feel good about herself. That real confidence comes from lifting others up, not stepping on them.

I’ll teach her to be the girl who sits with the kid who’s alone. The one who compliments another girl’s dress just because it’s pretty. The one who doesn’t laugh when someone else is embarrassed.

Because I’d rather raise a daughter who stands alone in kindness than one who’s surrounded by people who feed off cruelty.

Mean girls might get attention but kind girls change the world.
