A forum I sometimes visit is comprised of young people from teens to twenties. Many are girls who struggle to present themselves as the worst behaved, ugliest, foul-mouthed girl posting -- each trying hard to out do the other. Tattoos and piercing abound. Talk of suicide is prevalent. Discussion of personal sexual adventures (and misfortunes) are offered openly, and with a casualness that leaves one with the feeling it has no value or meaning.
Why is there a trend for girls to want to be worse than any other girl? Is it mere competition, or something in society that makes attractive, young women want to create an ugly, self-destructive aura for themselves?
