Mean Girls
Does it really matter what you wear? and where your clothes are from? While watchign the movie Mean Girls, many things that occur in the movie don't really happen in real life. Being a girl in high school I think most girls can agree with me that we have encountered pretty much everything that can happen between girls. The clothes you wear shouldn't matter, girls shouldn't judge girls but there is nothing that can stop that. It's a girl thing, all girls always judge other girls whether its...what they wear, the boy their with, or the people they hang out with. Of course being in high school gives you so many choices of people to hang out with but I don't think their are too many groups and cliques are our high school. Not only are there issues with girls I think guys too. People think way to much about what people will think of them, and it is starting to make people act...not how they usually would. People need to be able to go to school and go out with their friends without thinking "I wonder what they will think of me?" It's becoming an issue when nobody can act themselves. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with cliques and how people change the way they act around others that aren't typically in their "group" of friends?

I agree with you on the fact that we don't have many "cliques" in our high school. I think there are different girls who hang out together all the time, but not labeled groups. The groups are more of similar interest. I hang out with a certain group of girls at school because we all played volleyball together at one point in time. Girls do change how they act around others that aren't typically in their "group" of friends. Sometimes even girls pretend to hate things they normally like. Such as Katie in the movie pretending she hated math to fit in. Another thing I agree about is that girls talk about other girls. I don't know why, but everyone seems to do it. Usually if everyone is talking about a particular individual, you're going to join in. Not many girls are going to be the one who says, this isn't right of us to be talking about her.

I completely agree with Emily, I think the things that went on in the movie are a fabrication of what really goes on in a typical high school. Yeah, girls do occasionally talk about other girls behind their backs, but everyone does that, not just girls, and it really doesn't happen as much as we think it does. The clothes, and friends, and people you hang out with shouldn't matter, I mean everyone is different, but unfortunently, everyone judges everyone. I agree in saying that it is becoming a problem more than ever. especially when people can not act them true selves around one another. I hate to say this, but its true that people are not acting themselves, because they are trying to be someone they arn't. I agree with Emily and Jordan in saying that there are not that many "cliques" in Groves, we don't have the jock table, the asian table, and so on. We don't have groups labled like that, most people are friends with a certain group of people that they have known since middle school, maybe even elementary school.
I agree that people worry way to much on how other people think. It shouldn't matter on what other people think about them. If they are happy and having fun then I don't think people should care what others think. In the movie I feel like everything is exaggerated about how people view girls in high school. I'm sure some of that happens, but probably not to that extend where girls are trying to saboatge each other. As for acting differently around certain people, again, everyone does that. People act differently then they do in school then outside of school or home. Everyone does this it is just part of human nature.
