Relational Aggression

This is a clear example of relational aggression. In this video, it's clear that Heather and Sarah (two girls on the bed) want nothing to do with Rhonda(the girl who walks into the room uninvited) because she's a liar and a "rat". However, once Sarah leaves the room to go to the restroom, Rhonda threatens Heather. Rhonda says she'll tell everyone that Heather likes Sarah in a romantic way unless they go to her survivor group. Rhonda adds to the threat that regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, everyone will believe Rhonda over Heather if she says it. Sarah returns from the restroom and Rhonda changes completely. She compliments Sarah's toenails showing no sign of her previous behavior.
