I remember 14 year old me being addicted to this movie ,I had seen it more than eight times.one of best I had ever seen.
The movie "mean girls",a classic by writer and producer Tina fey, taught me a lot of self realization and how people can smile at your face and be a different person at your back.Everybody just wants to fit in.
While growing up,i've learnt that most friendships especially female friendships are never genuine,people will likely turn against you when you stop having what it is you had that attracted them to you in the first place be it,status,wealth,brains,power,it is usually intangible these days.
This generation of genz s don't care about personality in a human what so ever, it's about what you have and what they can gain from being in that friendship or relationship with you.Most times people will try to get close to you just so that they can be you and bring you down in the process.
Watching this film initially,i saw Regina George as the bad guy,while Cady heron was seen as sweet and innocent,but over the course of the years combined with my real life experiences,I then saw Regina as the good guy,not the good guy but better than Cady,who had snake-ishly drifted close to Regina not to bring her down but to bring her down and have her life,status,power .
A lesson I learned is "Not everyone who smiles with you is real"many people, mostly teenagers are desperate to belong somewhere,most have tried , given up and now are loners.
From this movie,I learnt that mean girls don't always look fake,most of them sit ,laugh and don't genuinely support you.
