Anne Strainchamps talks with two authors: Rosalind Wiseman, who wrote “Queen Bees and Wannabees: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and other Realities of Adolescence,” and Rachael Simmons, who wrote “Odd Girls Out: the Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls.” They say that girls’ popularity with other girls is influenced by the politics of the social pecking order and that the effects of being ostracized can be devastating.
