Ladies, wake up. It's time to stop this.

What happened to us? Where did we go wrong? Why did we trade in our Lisa Frank backpacks and sharing our crayons with stabbing each other in the back? Why is it okay for another woman to dislike me because I'm a successful woman? Why do I scroll through Twitter every day and see someone tweet, "I HATE GIRLS"?

Okay, first of all, I'm really sorry for whatever this girl did to you. Really. I'm sure it was quite terrible and is totally going to affect your life forever, but really? Twitter? You took it to Twitter? Why?

I am guilty of the hatred, too. I have talked some mad smack about some of my girl friends before, but I never went as far as to say that "I hate girls." When I see someone saying "I hate girls," I only see a cry for attention. Get over it. Start loving your fellow woman, because women are really the only ones who truly understand what it means to be a woman. Do you think a guy is ever going to understand your mind as well as you do? Do you think that anyone else but your girl friends will actually look forward to willingly sitting on your couch and eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's and binge watch Friends with you?

I can't hate a girl for being a girl. I can only hate a girl for the wrong things she has done to me or someone I love (and even then, hate is a really strong word). Basically, when you say "I hate girls" on Twitter (or anywhere), that's a red flag. All that says is that you choose not to get along with other girls because you're still wanting attention from guys (maybe this is a generalization). Who are you trying to impress? I bet you only get along with guys too, right? Because there's "less drama"? Another red flag. That probably means that you cause drama. Hey, don't get me wrong, I love all my guy friends. In fact, that's all I used to have, and then I realized how dumb that was because girls are awesome. Like really awesome. Come on!

Guys aren't always going to have your back. Being in a sorority taught me to always count on my sisters before I ever count on a guy because "Friends are FoReVeR and guys are WhAtEvEr!!!" Okay, but for real, if you hate on all the girls out there, all you'll have is guys, and I promise, they will pick their guy friends over you any day. That's a hard truth to swallow, but it's so true.

We live in a society today where women are put down every day. The more that we as women do it to each other, the easier it is for a man to do it to us, too. So, ladies, wake up!
