Two wrongs don't make a right, but despite several motherly chats we have seen, Chloe has chosen to reject any well meant advice and has chosen her side and her actions. I do have some sympathy for the girl who seems to have very low self worth, but she is capable of making choices and very vocal about disparaging those who attempt to help her, with her "How dare they" attitude.”
I hear you, I honestly do (there's a but coming

) but, I did stick up for Saira when Marnie did what she did because they targetted Saira and I hate that kind of thing.
I'm no fan of hers but you could see that she was upset and embarrassed by that incident and I think she ended up in bed in tears about it (could be wrong about that and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am).
Fast-forward a week and Saira's meting out worse crap than that which was done to her - all memories of how horrible it made her feel were gone.
And I'd go as far as to say that what she did to Chloe was worse because the 'flash' lasted seconds and Saira was adequately supported by James and others - whereas when she picked on Chloe, Chloe was alone.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned AT, but I expected better from her for a whole host of reasons such as age, maturity, intelligence etc etc etc.
Stooping to the level of the lowest common denominator or playing spiteful bitch top trumps with the idiots is just ridiculous.
