Relatability
Relatability to modern high school life is a large aspect of Mean Girls, and the movie does not fall short when it comes to examples. High schools are
generally known to consist of mean girls, cliques, drama, parties, love, and victimization just like in Mean Girls. All of these aspects are what keep the wheel
turning, even if it means a bad experience for some. In the movie, love can be seen in many cases. In the case of Aaron and Cady, Regina and Shane, Janis
and Kevin, Gretchen and Jason, etc. These range from crushes, to hook-ups, to desperate chasing, and more. High school is exactly like the movie in this
aspect. I see situations of high school love like this every day. Parties are another big part of high school. Just like Cady’s, high school parties tend to get out
of hand and over-rated. Drama, sex, and drinking generally show up at some point. Victimization is something that every student at North Shore had
experienced because of Regina, and most high schoolers I know have experienced it at least once. In the movie, Janis experiences victimization when Regina
is rude to her about possibly being lesbian. The Burn Book is the most obvious example of victimization seen in the film. Today, high schoolers have
Facebook, blogs, Twitter, texting, etc. to write out slander and gossip about others. The relatability of Mean Girls is one aspect of the movie that makes me
love it. While laughing along because of the characters and plot, I can still follow the movie because of the similarities between North Shore and my high
school experiences.
