I think Poppy will make a good fit in a Victorian Society themed camp (sort of like in the BBC dramas). She has the uppity/on your face mix attitude for sure. Not sure though she has the necessary manners and demeanor for what was termed “good society” in Britain from Georgian to Edwardian times.
Bullies are themselves unhappy people. Making others miserable gives them a sort of power, self-esteem. They are to be pitied. One can hope they grew out of it later in life.
Yeah, my being bullied years were in junior high school. Everything changed positively from high school on. Thank goodness!
I never went to camp. Didn’t occur to me that I was deprived at the time—and now I’m sure that I wasn’t. Raise your hand if you were bullied at school (or in camp). Hmm, maybe you should raise your hand if you WEREN’T…
I was a summer camp counsellor at an all girls camp in the North woods of Wisconsin. Any bullying was immediately stopped. I would not allow any unkindness in my cabin. Every night after story time we had a cabin hug.

If you think it might be fun, perhaps Poppy won’t be there.

Too bad a good put-down was not recognized by Poppy. What a waste.

Poppy is too poor a fit for Good Manners camp. Snark Camp?

Kate doesn’t seem to be upset by Poppy’s nasty snark.

One of these days someone is going to put her in her place. If you know what I mean, especially in camp. The girls won’t put up with her snooty ways.

People like Poopy usually grow up to become truly obnoxious adults too. Sad.

Okay, time to start stock piling squirting flowers, whoopie cushions and other humiliating pranks to use on miss Prissy here.

Poppy, snide remarks aren’t cool anymore. You won’t become popular being a Cordelia

That sounds like a great summer camp idea

If there were a Good Manners Camp, Poppy wouldn’t see a need to attend.
