We have all heard about little girls being bullied at school, on the playground and within their circle of friends. However, I hear myself saying the words "adult" and "bullying" in the same sentence all too often. Many adult women do not like admitting to it, but the phenomenon is prevalent. Women bullying other women often takes place within our social circles, the workplace, within social and civic organizations, and on social media. Having witnessed a great deal of this type of behavior in recent years, I have reached the conclusion that aging is mandatory, but maturing is definitely optional.
