Mean girls will always be mean girls. Even decades after the elementary school recess politics brainwashed the 'cool girls' into thinking they had to be mean in order to be well-liked, some women refused to grow out of their childish nastiness and take their sordid behavior into adulthood. To them, in order to be the queen of the blacktop at recess, you had to be cruel.

For mean girls, anything short of putting gum in another girl's hair becomes fair game, even when you're allegedly a mature adult. The 28-year-old in this next story discovered that her future sister-in-law was destined to be a mean girl for life after hearing about a debaucherous roasting session at the bachelorette party. 

Perhaps it's a cruel sense of superiority that motivated the bride in this next tale to be a mean girl even in her 30s. OP (the original poster) came to Reddit with a dagger in her back with the cruel words of her future SIL wedged deep between her shoulder blades. It was reminiscent of those elementary-school-recess-queen politics as the bride was vying for the affections of the brother standing between them. But even after excluding his sister and berating her in front of everyone invited to the bachelorette, the bride still didn't realize that being a mean girl gets you nowhere. 

Keep scrolling to read what happened next. After this, here's another story of family dramas gone wrong.

    I feel like I'm going crazy right now and I could really use some advice. So, I (28F) have always been pretty close to my brother, Mark (32M). We're not like best friends or anything, but we've always had a good relationship. When he met Sarah (30F), I was genuinely

    happy for him. She seemed nice enough, and we got along okay, or so I thought. A couple weeks ago, Sarah had her bachelorette party. I wasn't invited, which hurt a bit, but I figured maybe it was just close friends or whatever. I didn't think too much of it at the time. But

    then, a friend of mine who was at the party called me up a few days ago, sounding really awkward. She told me she needed to tell me something, but she didn't. know how I'd take it. Apparently, at the bachelorette, Sarah got

    such disgusting things about me behind my back, especially when I thought we were on good terms... it hurt, a lot. I confronted Mark about it, hoping he'd understand where I'm coming from, but he was so dismissive. He

    said Sarah was just drunk and didn't mean it, and that I'm overreacting. He even suggested maybe my friend misheard or was exaggerating. But I trust my friend, and the way she told me, it seemed like Sarah really believed what she was saying.

    I told Mark I wasn't sure I could go to the wedding after hearing all that. He got super mad and accused me of making everything about myself, saying I should just it up and support him on his big day. He thinks I should just let it go for the sake of keeping the peace in the family.

    But I feel so hurt and humiliated. I don't know how I can stand there and celebrate when the bride thinks I'm this awful person and is spreading lies that could ruin my reputation. I'm seriously considering not going to the wedding at all.

    So, AITA for thinking about skipping my brother's wedding after finding out what Sarah said about me? Or am I being too sensitive and should just go to keep the family peace?

    Equal-Winner7370 23h ago . I would nope right out. Group chat to family - "After the horrible and degrading remarks made by my future SIL's at her bachelorette it is best if I not attend her wedding. Additionally, so there is no misunderstanding as to the why, I am not a 'Wh re' nor 'Having an affair with my neighbor' nor'

    Opening my legs for everybody' as she spent the evening shouting to everyone. Drunk or not this level of disrespect and appalling slander is unconscionable. I do not know a single person who would willingly spend time with anyone who said such things about them. So don't expect me to do so.

    BFab11 1d ago NTA. I will never understand how choosing not to attend a function is "making it about you." It's their wedding, it's literally about them, and they can get married whether you're there or not. And yes, she was drunk, which means her filter wasn't working. She thinks all of those things, but usually has enough sense to not say them out loud.

    Accepting cruelty and mistreatment for the sake of keeping the peace is what allows . It's to get away with bad behavior, because people don't want to rock the boat. The boat is rocked, her drunken swaying did that.

    Any-Expression2246 • 1d ago Yeah, time to go low contact and don't interact unless needed. She'll eventually start badmouthing you to your brother as well. Maybe he'll come to his senses then.

    UnpleasantGremlin • 1d ago Yea Sarah can right off, and sounds like you need to just throw your brother out with her. NTA. Don't make it about you, just don't engage with either of them anymore. How can it be about you when you've removed yourself from he situation? If your brother tries to MAKE it about you after that, that's his problem.

    prinkyfall • 1d ago NTA. Wow, talk about a betrayal cocktail with a splash of drama! It's one thing for a few harmless jokes at a bachelorette party, but a full- on character assassination is quite another. It's understandable that you'd feel hurt and not want to attend a wedding where the bride has spread such hurtful rumors about you. A wedding should be about celebrating love and unity, not dodging daggers thrown by the bride!

    Used_Mark_7911 • 1d ago Tell your brother you need to have a sit-down conversation with him and Sarah together where she will have to opportunity to explain her words and actions. Write down what she said at the party and walk through it with them.
