Regina George High School

The movie “mean girls” is about a sixteen-year old homeschooled girl named Cady Heron who lived in Africa for the last 12 years of her life. After 12 years she returns to the United States and is now going to High school. Attending public school for the first time in her life. The homeschooled girl entered girl world that is full of lies, drama, gossip, boys and rules. She started hanging out with the “Plastics” and become friends with. The movie showed many example of conflict management styles, it reflects on the American culture values and beliefs, and power style.

Mean Girls is about a girl named Cady who joins an elite social group at her new school known as the Plastics. While socializing with the Plastics, Cady develops a new, mean girl, personality and ends up sabotaging the group’s leader, Regina, and becomes the new leader of the Plastics. Regina retaliates by spreading the burn book, a book the Plastics filled with insults and gossip about other students, around the school leading to a riot and Cady takes the blame. Cady realizes that her new personality is wrong and apologizes to the school, makes amends with her old friends, and forms a truce with Plastics who disband and become regular students (Mean Girls, 2004).

In the film “Mean Girls” there were many types of peer relationships expressed. Friendships are described as a reciprocal liking, trust, and loyalty between all participating dyadic parties. An example in the film is the relationship that Damian and Janis hold because they are loyal to each other and the liking is mutual. Peer acceptance is to the degree one is liked by their peers. In the film Aaron Samuels is very much liked by his peers. Perceived popular is a child that is considered popular based on their peers’ perceptions. Regina George is a prime example of teenage girl perceived as popular. When students described Regina George in the film these type of comments were made, “Regina George is flawless”, “One time she punched me in the faced. It was awesome.”, and “she always looks fierce.” Cliques are polyadic social groups that are voluntary. A main clique in the movie is “The Plastics” which consists of Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith. These forms of peer relationships are a lot more complex than just a group of friends, these relationships of dynamic in early adolescence.

Overall High School Musical is a great film, with many great aspects. There are many

Stereotypically, men and women have very different roles in the eyes of society. Gender roles and stereotypes have a history in religious, political, legal and economic systems. In reality, men and women are more alike than most people assume. Throughout the world there are struggles with identity, power, and violence occurring everyday between both men and women. The film Mean Girls, directed by Mark Walters, follows a young girl, Cady’s, transition from being home schooled to public high school. Cady enters the school’s group of mean girls, otherwise known as “the plastics”, which consists of Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith. Throughout the film each character struggles with their true identity.

Anyone who has ever been a high school student can probably find some way to relate to the characters in the film. The movie revolves around 5 students who for various reasons have been sent to Saturday detention by principle Vernon. The principle asks each of the students to write a one-page paper on who they think they are. As the day progresses, we see the teens begin to bond with each other and find out about each other and themselves.

The film that I chose to do was the movie Mean Girls. This movie is filled with many funny characters and an amusing plot, but even though this movie has earned the crown of being the official “chick flick” it has a lot of psychological concepts that people really do not realize. However, when you really think about it, the movie has a lot to relate with when it comes to teenagers going into a new school because every teen that enters high school goes though the emotional and social stages of development. In this paper we will be looking at parts of the movie that focus on Cady and her stages of development as she goes through high school and deals with the Plastics, and then the Plastics themselves as well as certain aspects and things that revolve around them throughout the movie.

Saint Martin de Porres High School in Cleveland, Ohio is a co-ed catholic college preparatory institution on a mission to provide a quality education and invaluable work experience to inner city youth. The vision Saint Martin de Porres High School has for each student is to attend a college or university. Thus far their goal has been achieved; however the school does not guarantee your student a baccalaureate degree.

Formal research has yet to be conducted on the success of Saint Martin de Porres High School students. Due to personal ties with Saint Martin de Porres High School, it is necessary to look into these issues to preserve the longevity of Saint Martin and to ensure the success of its graduates beyond high school graduation.

The story that Bully shares are about five youths who get heavily perpetrated by cruel acts, that end them up in unhealthy situations. The characters possess different qualities: racial backgrounds, sexual identities or medical challenges. Furthermore discussing the problem of the ongoing need to belong somewhere, yet not being truthful to oneself. This brings into consideration of the parents and school administration. School is tough as it is, yet a handful of people make it worse by unfairly treating someone based on superficial reasoning.

We think that this movie is entertaining, but it presents several ridiculous stereotypes and generalizations of adolescents’ femininity. The way the most popular girls dress, talk and behave is, to our opinion, exaggerated and based on the false idea people make about high school. It is not representative of the reality. It is true that there is a kind of hierarchy, within every high school, but it is not as evident as it is in the movie. Also, it presents many cliques, much more than in reality.

While reading the article I must admit that all movies discussed within impacted my views on life in high school and apply still today. Starting with Heathers, what I gained and still appreciate about this film are two different topics. A sense of what the high school is hell and so is life. Heathers portrayed high school in the real true light that is high school. Kids/teens are mean and if you are not in with the right crowd then you are out. Heathers showed what every single high school is like, full of clicks and each click is made up of different racial, gender and social classes. This is something that no one can deny, no matter where you hail from a small town to big city it’s the same. You can walk into any high school and see the clicks that reside within the school. Unless you grew up in a utopia and if that is the case let me know so I can move.

It has a lot of stereotyping for example, having graffiti on the walls and that drugs are dealt on the premises. Also it showed that the school had certain types of groups and portrayed that the school had fights and that they happen very often. In some case the black American and other minority groups like the Hispanics were the one getting into fight. At the beginning of the clip, a school bell is ringing; this sets the atmosphere and allows the audience to know that the film is based in a school. The music played throughout the scenes is a rock/rap song that is fast beat one such song was Guns and Roses welcome to the jungle, this song give them impression that the school was no longer serving the purpose for which it was established. The lighting of most of the clips is low lighting. This creates an inquiry mind kind of atmosphere and could represent that what is going to happen is not going to be a good aftermath. For example when the two boys are seen throwing objects out of the window it is brighter than other scenes and that shows the boys think what they are doing is right. The darkness of the clips depicts the time or year the movie was

Damien Memorial School, 1401 Houghtailing mo bettah! 96817. We are different in many ways. From different religions to different ethnicities it is all here. Although, we are a Catholic school, there are many different religions that come to this school and we accept who they are. We are located in Kalihi and it is not the greatest community, but we are still united as one. The neighborhood isn’t the greatest, but when you get to know the school and what goes on within the school it will amaze you. Many people are different ethnicities, but when they share their differences they come to know what the other person likes.

In 1998, Coca-Cola held a contest inviting high-school students to devise promotional ideas for the company. A prize of $500 would go to the school with the best PR ideas for the company. Greenbriar High in Evans, Georgia, was the winner. On “Coke Day,” students were to attend lectures from visiting company executives, wear Coke T-shirts to school, and pose for a group photograph, spelling out the word Coke with their bodies. Senior Mike Cameron decided to play a prank. Just as the photo was about to be taken, he removed his outer shirt to reveal a Pepsi T-shirt. He was suspended for being rude and disruptive. The principal explained: “We had the regional president of Coca-Cola here and people flew in from Atlanta to do us the honor of being resource speakers.”

The girls get punished in very harsh ways as well. Just like in hard times the kids are punished in brutal ways and humiliated in a way to help them learn. The girl is punished and forced to stand outside in the cold rain and she gets hypothermia and dies. The importance of obedience and independance suggest a lot on how they teach these
