At my high school, we had a film fest every year, where each grade made a film and they were judged by the teachers. The winning grade got some sort of prize or points towards field day. Our senior year- we made a parody of Mean Girls. It wasn’t quite Mean Girls, but most of the movie was some reference or another to the iconic movie. That was the year that I sat down and watched Mean Girls for the first time-

The movie Mean Girls addresses many issues that teen girls face in the real world today. Two issues that really stood out to mean were the search for identity and oversexualization among adolescent girls.

For instance, a paparazzo purposely put himself in front of Lindsay Lohan’s moving vehicle in order to get a dramatic story from it. Needless to say, about 41% of the paparazzi make up a story to go along with the photo. During desperate measures, another paparazzo has set off the fire alarm to get their target to
