Mean Girls:Insulting Lie? or Exaggerated Truth?

Many people find mean girls a fairly comical movie, which i have to agree with. But , what if the content of that movie were a reality. What if girls did refer to each other as sluts and whores? What if girls feed of of the unhappiness of other girls? What if girls really cheated on there boyfriends or slept with there best friend's boyfriend? What if girls secretly envied each other? What if girl's began to think about drama, boys and gossip more than there own education and future? The sad part about it is that these type of things often happen in high school. Not very funny, huh? In fact it's kind of scary. I think it's safe to say that mean girls is a fairly comical film, but the basis of the joke is in fact a horror story.

  1. Mean girls are very true and there are some in the high schools that we attend. Like Dymond said " these things often do happen" and we chose to think of it as funny or say she deserves what was coming to her. we are all women and we need to stick with each other.Being mean is not cute and funny like the movie makes it out to be. In real life being mean really hurts people feelings and sometimes make them want to hurt themselves. I don't find anything funny about being a mean girl.

  2. I think Mean Girls is a great satire. I think stuff that happens in the movie actually happens, and girls do envy each other and follow a "queen bee". I don't think all girls do, but I think a good amount do. I also think that the movies writing is pretty good, and really satirizes the whole high school experience.
