Mean Girls.

Recently we watched the Movie "Mean Girls". I enjoyed that movie very much, because for many high school kids that is their reality. Fortunately Groves High School divisions aren't as harsh and rude as the school in the movie. Today my group talked and compared that school lunch divisions to our school. In the Mean Girls they had a table to for the jocks, Asian girls, sexually active band members, the girls who eat their emotions, the girls who eat nothing, and the Plastics (Popular Girls). The first day of school for Cady was a nightmare because with all the cliques in the lunch room she wasn't able to find not one seat in the entire lunchroom forcing her to eat her lunch in the bathroom. Although the divisions are not as cruel and rude to new students there still is a division. You may find in the lunch room the division is normally between the Freshman and Sophmore students because those are the students that generally stay on campus to eat their lunch. In our lunchroom we have a table for the white girls who tend to be smart and dress nice. Near them sit the black girls with their clique and next to them is a lonely table of maybe two or three boys who maybe considered nerds or just not socially inclined as far as appearance. Across the commons are the kids that maybe considered goths or weird, they tend to wear black and discuss different topics then the girls across the commons may be discussing. Even though our lunchroom is separated I feel like if you wanted to sit with someone and they recognize you were knew to the school groves students would allow you to sit with them until you find your group of friends. Groves is a nice place with nice kids that don't always judge you on how you look or where you come from, but as society has taught us there will always be divisions.

  1. The "mean girls" movie, gave an exaggerated version of EVERY SCHOOL in america.
    everyone has their own click.
    One might stick out more than others, but what they all have in common are judgmental attitudes, and accept the stereotypes.
