For her, it was more like feeling as an outcast and being left out because she didn't belong to certain clique. "Girl-on-girl bullying happens every day and often those doing the bullying don't even realize they're a bully," Chan said. "There are harsh emails and texts. A lot of it is behind closed doors. Girls say things behind another girl's back and it's often hurtful." The main thing is to make everybody feel more comfortable, all the time, while they're in school, Ostapovych said. "We want to stop girl-on-girl bullying altogether and make the transition from Grade 8 to high school a lot smoother," she explained. "It starts with rumours and gossip. It's like a game of broken telephone. One person says something to another. It might not even be true, but it comes around full circle."

But Grade 12 is being added next year, so all the new Grade 9s will be entering a full high school. "The social hierarchy will be here," Ostapovych said.
