Considered a classic movie about teenagers, Mean Girls is full of famous and funny quotes, scenes featuring s fashion, and great performances by the cast. It's always enjoyable watching Cady begin attending high school and learn about the social world that is brand new to her.
While the movie is a smart comedy with many iconic moments, it's also a perfect examination of young adult life and the problems that high schoolers face. From the main premise to the way that the characters behave, Mean Girls deserves praise for the way that it talks about teenagehood. From the moment that Cady begins scheming to be part of the Plastics , audiences know that Mean Girls is all about who is considered cool and who isn't.
There's a difference between the way that the Plastics and Janis and Damian are treated, and it's all too relatable as many high schools do have a popular crowd. Cady really wants to be considered cool, even if she starts off thinking that Regina and her friends are silly and ridiculous, and this is very true to the teenage experience.
She is still finding her sense of self and that means trying on different personalities and copying her new friends. Cady likes Aaron Samuels, but she isn't sure how to date as she hasn't been part of a real high school before. While many teens don't have the same background as Cady, most people are still confused about the dating world when they're in high school. It can be tough to know how to turn a crush into a relationship, and since Aaron and Regina used to date, that is complicated for Cady, too.
From ditzy Plastics member Karen to Janis and her best friend Damian, all of the main characters in Mean Girls are insecure, and it makes the movie super relatable. It also proves that this film has gotten a lot right about high school life. The whole reason why Regina is so mean is that she's deeply insecure and worried about what people think of her. She creates a social group so she can feel better about herself, and soon everyone at the high school falls in line, which is tough to watch.
Previously, studies have found that popularity is often achieved by either those who are aggressive or outgoing. These findings have shown that aggressive popular teens become and stay popular through coercion while outgoing and fun teens reach the same result through cooperation. However, researchers from Florida Atlantic University FAU and the University of Montreal recently set out to see whether there was a third type of popularity. To study popularity in teens, the researchers followed more than secondary school students with a median age of 13 over a two-year period, with classmates identifying those who were aggressive, those who were prosocial or outgoing, and those who were both.
Of them all, the Machiavellian group had the highest level of popularity, and were found to be above average on physical and relational aggression, as well as on prosocial behaviour.
Tina Fey , herself, of course plays the teacher Ms. They are the ones who are laughing … Young girls watch it like a reality show. Because there really is a steady throughline of sincere concern, maybe even anger, in the script, about how society teaches its young women to relate to each other, and to boys viz. Occasionally this impulse is so strong that the film stumbles and becomes a bit didactic the post-riot gymnasium talk and subsequent trust exercises are kind of cringey for laying this subtext so bare but the sincerity of the intention makes these infrequent lapses forgivable.
Additionally, the film has an affection for its minor characters that adds texture to the background.
