SALT LAKE CITY — One night, during my senior year of high school, I received a text message from a group of girls telling me I was fat and needed to lose weight.

Why you are teaching your daughter to be a mean girl

At the time I felt bad and embarrassed for them. It honestly stunned me that people could be so downright mean and insecure. Now that I am married with a daughter of my own, my thoughts about it have slightly shifted. I find myself wondering about those girls' moms. Where were they?
