As I finish doing my homework today one of my all-time
favorite movies comes on the screen. Mean girls, has always captivated my attention
since I was in the fourth grade. I used to think it was just a big kid movie
that I was lucky to watch because it contained all of the crude language and
sexual ideas that high school contained. As I grew older I began to see the
meaning behind this movie and how it still reins true to the life of an average
high school girl.
Now that I am closing in on the end of my high school years I
watch this movie and see my own school in the movie. Our school is full of
clicks of people that cannot interact together because of the “rules” that we
all believe exists. We have the jocks, the cheerleaders, the plastics, the
nerds, and the band geeks. Many believe in the fine line of you do not talk to
the popular and so on, but I am the one who breaks the barrier. I have been the
girl that hangs with the plastics and they do change you. They turned me into
the bitchy girl that no one wants to be around. I am the girl that can yes
dress up every day, never leave the house without makeup on, and I need to have
my hair done. I am also the girl who is not afraid to talk to anyone and will
always be nice no matter what.
I agree with the idea that high school is a major zoo and
that we all have cat fights but the movie does push the limits of how the
females interact in high school. Yes, we are mean and talk behind each other’s
back but we do not find the need to degrade people so low that they won’t be feeling
good about themselves. I feel that we need to have a movie to portray that
girls should respect each other and not be falling into the trap of high
school.
