    In the movie “Mean Girls”, there is a new girl named Caty that moves back to the United States from Africa. She was home schooled all her life and never experienced the high school life. There were two people that befriended her when she first started her classes. They showed Caty the in’s and out’s of the high school. Some examples would be which table to sit at during lunch, who the popular people were, and what was considered social suicide. These were the typical lessons each adolescent learns as they go through high school. Three examples I picked out from the movie were great examples that mimicked what adolescents go through.

  • Reality In Mean Girls

    I agree with you that teen films genre like the movie Mean Girls does not reflect reality. I also agree that the teen films all have the stereotypes that are in all movies that have a high school setting. In my personal experience in high school these stereotypes did not exist for me as well. I do see how students in teen films are often not allowed to be friends with anyone they want now that you pointed it out. In my personal experience however many people were friends with everyone at my school there wasn't people that were only allowed to talk to a specific group. After reading this I now see that teachers or any other staff members are not really included in big roles in the teen movies. In reality teachers and other staff members

  • Analysis of Relationships in the Film 'Mean Girls'

    "Cold, shiny, hard, PLASTIC," said by Janice referring to a group of girls in the movie Mean Girls. Mean Girls is about an innocent, home-schooled girl, Cady who moves from Africa to the United States. Cady thinks she knows all about survival of the fittest. But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when she enters public high school and encounters psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teen girls deal with today. Cady goes from a great friend of two "outcasts", Janice and Damien to a superficial friend of the "plastics", a group of girls that talks about everyone behind their back and thinks everyone loves them. Adolescent egocentrism and relationships with peers are obviously present throughout the film. I also noticed self worth in relationships, parenting styles, and juvenile delinquency throughout Mean Girls.
