When Cady is included into the friend group she is then entrusted with the group’s secrets. This group of “Plastics” are friends by choice and always ask for each other’s

Another example of Regina having no respect happens when the girls go up to Regina’s room. Cady comments on the size of Regina’s bedroom and Regina says “it was my parents room but I made them trade me.” Regina is completely out of control and disrespectful, this is all because of her mother's parenting style. When a parent is trying to be a friend instead of being in charge things will go wrong.

Rex gets Tuberculosis and he has to stay in the hospital for six weeks. He gets better and Jean says she may not finish college because she needs $1,000 dollars.

Everyone in Welch doesn’t like newcomers. Jeannette and Brian were enrolled in schools there and Jeannette’s mom didn’t’ have any of their records from Phoenix so they go to the principal to talk and the principal asks them very simple questions to see their intelligence. However, it does not work out very well because of the accent of the principal. After trying to figure out what the principal was saying they end up in classes with other kids that have learning disabilities. The first day of fifth grade for Jeannette was terrible for her. Jeannette got beat up from a girl named Dinitia. Dinitia would bully Jeannette everyday. Jeannette knows that her mom and dad can’t help so she tries to befriend Dinitia. Jeannette then sees the good side of Dinitia, and tries to be friends with her. Jeannette then sees Dinitia scaring a dog away from a kid and Dinitia befriended Jeannette. Jeannette’s parents decide to go to Phoenix to get what they left behind. The first day Jeannette’s parent are gone Erma calls Brian so she can fix his pants. When Jeannette goes to check on them she sees Erma touching Brian’s private parts. Jeannette then screams that Erma is a pervert and Lori, who is now thirteen, starts screaming at her and fighting with her physically. Erma then locks them in the basement, which has a door to go outside, but they can’t go inside the house. When Jeannette’s parents come back Dad found out what happened to Brian. Dad acts very strangely, which made Jeannette wonder if Erma did that to him as a kid. Mom and dad’s car broke down on there way back to Phoenix so they had to take a bus back, and they couldn’t get back the stuff they left in Phoenix.

After awhile there a bully named Ernie Goad makes fun of Jeannette for living in trash. The

Never in my life have I ever seen a mom so nonchalant. She does not care about anything her daughter does and is just as fake as Regina (except she also has a horrible boob job). Her ultimate goal is to keep Regina happy and make sure that she is having fun. Grades mean nothing to her because she is all about being rich and maintaining a high status material wise. When seeing this movie, you will wish that you had her mom. If you want to drink, that’s fine with her. If you want to have sex, go ahead. She’ll offer you a condom and love that you’re happy. Despite how ridiculous this character appears to be, the actress, Amy Poehler, does a fantastic job at helping fulfill the purpose of showing stereotypes in the

Regina perfectly fits the stereotypical popular girl persona. She is an immodest, rich girl who has dominion over her family and friends: her mother waits on her like a servant, her friends seek her constant approval, she drives a fancy car, and lives in a huge mansion. In the movie, Gretchen, Regina’s close friend, believes Regina is mad at her for some unknown reason. She immediately takes action to impress Regina by complimenting her clothes. “It seems the more Regina hated her, the more Gretchen wanted to impress her” (Waters, Mean Girls). When students were asked to describe Regina, they all thought highly of her, even the ones she had hurt. One of the students Regina had punched the day before said that it was the “best thing that had ever happened to her” (Waters, Mean Girls).

In addition, the mother notes that she prohibits the father from coming in contact with S.B. due to the fact that she was suspicious of sexual abuse.

Norbury asks the entire senior class to raise their hand if they have ever been victimized by Regina George and nearly every single hand was raised. She does whatever she wants and thinks that everyone admires her. This is mostly because of the way her mom acts towards her and her friends. Regina's mom tries to be one of the teenage girls and gossip along with the "plastics." She even allows her daughter to drink underage. Regina's mom also allows the younger daughter to watch nudity on the television. Her care free, laid back parenting style plays a huge roll on how Regina acts towards her peers. In addition, Cady's parents are very strict. The first sign of this is in the beginning when they are very concerned with sending her to a public high school. After being exposed to the "plastics" and how they act, Cady begins to drink and participate in illegal activity nearly every weekend. Cady finds her wrong doings as an escape from her parents. This is because her parents are too strict and are constantly nagging her. Their uptight, strict parenting style is what leads to Cady doing unacceptable activities.
