"I don't get how anyone could be calling her fat when she's literally paper thin" Ah, the 90's and early 2000's, no wonder eating disorders run rampant 😂not that these days are much better I remember as a teen I was like "3 pounds in a week? Pathetic, I could do that overnight 💁🏻" 😂😂

[@kateg9437]

The joke is that the person calling her a fat ass is like double her size

[@fourcatsandagarden]

omg a friend of mine used to tell me "I lost 10 pounds last night". She was rail thin. She probably dropped a heavy poo. But dear lord it made me feel awful because I was overweight and couldn't get the scale to budge ever.

@@fourcatsandagarden and it's like it's so contextual too, when I'm in the thick of it I'm like "starving is easy.

As a victim of bullies who framed me for their bad behavior in a very similar fashion, YEP. - They just forgot one teeeensy little thing when they were doing it. I'm left handed. My handwriting is and always has been disgusting. The teacher forced me to write an apology letter anyway because she wanted it to end, but I explicitly wrote, in my lefthanded handwriting, that I was sorry someone did that to them and framed me for it. The teacher never brought it up again after that.

[@TheDevler23]

idk about the UK, but I'm 38 in the US and I have 18 and 13 year old kids. This movie is timeless in how it depicts high school. because here? school is 10000% that clique-y. That's why it resonates so much with so many people and is a cult classic. Because soooooooo many of us can identify with this. Even my kids, a whole generation younger than me, LOVE this movie!

[@despicablepenguin]

Must depend on the region because our school isn't like that at all. We have groups bc of course everyone has friend groups but our school is too big to divide us into all those niches and stick with it. I don't remember our middle school being like that either and it was way possible so it could've been possible

[@kittycheshire5099]

I don't know. For me at least, high school is just stressing about tests, grades, assignments, exams, non-stop. But maybe that's because I go to a school known to be full of smart kids and competitive as hell. Like, at my school, no one cares about cheerleaders and football players. The most popular kids are usually the ones with the most AP classes and highest grades. Honestly, the most accurate portrayal of my high school might actually be Rainbow High, which is something I never thought I'd say. (although, seriously, there's enough stressing in it that for them to make an eleven minute compilation of the characters stressing over deadlines)

[@ladyfoxwf1075]

I think it's more of an American thing, here in the UK I have never seen cliques, there are just the popular kids and the rest aren't popular.

I would admit to hating Mean Girls but this comments section might unalive me

[@bboops23]

Mean Girls is a social commentary on what it means to be popular. It was based on a book on the psychology of Teenage Girls. I actually read the book for a paper in high school and the book followed a girl who went from a weirdo in middle school to the most popular girl in her high school. But the book pointed out that popular didn't mean beloved, it meant unapproachable to most except the other unapproachable people. Mean Girls was also considered a spiritual successor to Heathers. The story was inspired by the psychology novel and Heathers. It works well as a movie because you don't actually particularly like anyone.
