Mean Girls Psychology

Mean Girls The Mean Girls is a movie created in the year 2004 about a girl who is named Cady, who has been homeschooled.

They never recognized that the differences between us are what makes each and every one unique. Finally, they were all brainwashed to think that backstabbing one another resolves the conflict.

A prime example of backstabbing took place between the plastics and Cady’s friend's, Cady and her friends sabotaged Regina and spoke mean things about her. Overall this movie leads me to hypothesize that everyone tries to fit in however when the problems get worse people realize and try to do the right thing. After all, we're all humans and no one is
