This game has been designed because girls can be so incredibly mean to each other in many emotional ways. Dangerous Divas helps participants understand what they do to each other, how what they do hurts, how to be more direct with feelings, and how to deal with mean things coming one's way. These cards have been designed specifically for girls because girls tend to be much better at hurting each other with words and emotional manipulation than boys are. The impact on self-esteem and life's choices are monumental. We all need to help each other deal with this issue. Girls need to understand that they can and often will be hurt by other girls, they may want to hurt other girls, and the need to understand both sides of this spectrum. Anger begets anger and hurt begets hurt. Learning how not to not lash out at someone who is perceived as not nice or who doesn't like them, or who is a threat, or who does not fit in is powerful in many ways. Girls-hurters, and those who are hurt-need to develop strategies for dealing with feelings, skills for understanding feelings, and they need to develop skills for not doing mean things to other girls. The game can become quite lively and fun and often leads to sharing of a lot of information. We realllly welcome feedback from using these cards.
