I strongly recommend that you watch it with your daughter.<br /><br />When my daughter got the DVD I really didn&#39;t relish the prospect of watching another Lindsay Lohan teen flick, but I actually really enjoyed the film (it&#39;s written by and stars Tina Fey, and features several other Saturday Night Live comedians) - I&#39;ve watched it with my kids several times since, and enjoy it as much every time.<br /><br />Anyway, my point was that it&#39;s about exactly this type of behaviour in teenage girls. And unlike most &quot;movies with a moral&quot;, it makes its point well and manages to be a fun watch at the same time.<br /><br />Apparently the film is based on this non-fiction book, about teenage girls&#39; verbal bullying: http://bit.ly/5wODrVDan Sumptionhttp://www.sumption.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661724436683609303.post-53023616601206939662009-12-06T20:41:27.870Z2009-12-06T20:41:27.870ZThanks for your comments everyone. <br />Yes I agree, women have terrible self -esteem issues. I&#39;m no exception.<br />I also wonder if it&#39;s because she goes to a mixed school, they seem so ruthless with each other.theundergroundrestauranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07595882288876011436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661724436683609303.post-83278231596861799772009-12-06T20:36:19.456Z2009-12-06T20:36:19.456ZI&#39;ll be honest with you, I don&#39;t think it toughens them at all. We women tend to grow up with serious self esteem issues...and I figure it starts way back.<br /><br />Anyhow, I applaud you...100 times for step-by-step illustrating what&#39;s going on.<br /><br />Sometimes, I feel so bad for teenagers, knowing that they can&#39;t see even a couple of years down the road. What happens to us at that age????Kitchen Butterflyhttp://www.kitchenbutterfly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661724436683609303.post-56894451749868353132009-11-30T15:30:33.769Z2009-11-30T15:30:33.769ZI&#39;m no great looker but I don&#39;t really remember it being this bad when I was teenager. Most of stuff aimed at me was about me wearing glasses. Having said that, I do think it&#39;s different now and when I notice all the Barbie Bratz rubbish advertised on tv it seems there&#39;s a huge market to teach our little girls to aspire to WAGs and porn stars which is very sad.Sarah, Maison Cupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509940451345540183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661724436683609303.post-61134849606121574282009-11-30T14:51:36.234Z2009-11-30T14:51:36.234ZPre-teens are at it too!<br />My 10 year old is more worried about what her &quot;friends&quot; think of her than her own happiness!Erica, Allium, Fairfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09449403396167038832noreply@blogger.com
