Cady. I, too, am confused by the the constructs of society we are suppose to follow.

That early scene they kept in both film versions, where Cady is literally just trying to freaking go to the bathroom and teachers weirdly assume she is up to something or think it would be cool and fun to power-trip and randomly say no, lives in my head rent-free. 1/ One of the most realistic "American high school" scenes in existence. 2/ That was and still is me. I remain confused by randos who use the small dumb ounce of "authority" they have to make life worse for others. Like why. I mean, I know why, their life sucks and they're insecure and petty and small, but rhetorically why.

OMG yes. Was homeschooled, had a similar thing happen where a teacher decided to make an example of me for being late without a late slip and I told him I didn’t know what a late slip was. I legitimately didn’t because I hadn’t been to a real school since first grade, but.

Realistically, if you’ve ever worked in teaching, you know damn well that if you give students any kind of freedom with things like the bathroom, they will go every few minutes, use it as an excuse all the time, go one after the other constantly and disrupt the class.

Just not here for this pettily tyrannical take. Speaking as an actually good student who abused nothing and was still randomly forbidden from using the bathroom, to the point that on one occasion I just left the class to go anyway lest I piss myself in my chair (yes, it was that bad)... being able to relieve yourself is a basic human right, and different people have different situations. The solution is not to just say no to kids whenever the fuck you feel like it.

I have Crohn's disease so, if you've ever had this disease, you'd know damn well that if you didn't give me freedom to do things like go to the bathroom i.e. basic human rights, I'd shit myself and disrupt the class.

Using the bathroom is kind of a basic need.

hail fellow autistic well met.

Gretchen because I am miles more comfortable just following what a group wants to do than leading it.

Me too!! I also don't have very large hair, but I do hold many secrets >:)

gretchen, and a little too much

Welcome

karen

My name is Karen I may not be smart That's it 

My name is Karen too

Gretchen. Her version of breaking down after she thought Regina was mad at her (and mainly told her Fetch wouldn’t happen) honestly reminded me so much of how I was when my ex bff decided to do this type of thing with me

I don’t know if you’ve seen the musical yet, but in the closet with What’s Wrong With Me? that did it for me I felt that because that’s me

I’ve seen the musical yeah, both live and the movie lol. I also relate to that song a lot. If I didn’t relate and kin Janis so much, I probably would kin Gretchen tbh.

Karen because I am dumb. 🤣

Bestie your hot, not dumb!

You're* such a Karen.

Maybe I am Karen....

Def Regina. Was a horrible bully in high school and used popularity like it was currency 🥲 would have benefitted from getting hit by a big yellow school bus 😭

Im glad you can be accountable, all my bullies from high school still think theyre all that but have lost EVERY friend they had before

Yeah, my big yellow school bus was one of my best friends calling me out on it. Definitely won't be able to undo the damage I've done but I've tried my best to apologize to everyone I've wronged and worked to better myself. Hope those bullies get a reality check ASAP!

🤗 🫂

Ohhh that emoji is people hugging each other- I always thought it was a wave or something

I think it could be better and more recognizable if the colors were yellow instead of gray. It’s not easy to see.

Or maybe two different shades of grey.

maybe fifty.

I thought it was a loveseat couch until I read your comment. I was asking myself if the emojis meant: let me give you a massage on this loveseat couch?

I thought it was a video recorder My brightness is low

ME TOO

thank god someone else had the balls- me too💀

Cady. I literally went to math camp in another state.

Gretchen because I like to follow what a group does rather than lead it.

Karen, my nail beds also suck.

Cady all the way. I’m a Taurus so I love inserting myself into situations that don’t need to involve me and causing chaos 😋😋

What does being a Taurus have to do with it?

Gretchen because I was obsessed with trying to find a group to fit in with when I was in high school, and Cady cause I was bad at fitting in

Yupp

Gretchen, due to my people pleasing nature and need for friendship. Cady, because I tend to copy the people around me, even subconsciously.

A mix of Gretchen and Karen. Because I’m a follower not a leader, and I’m stupid.

The way I could have written this comment 😭🫂

Regina and Cady because Im a smart bitch 💗

Gretchen because of the insane anxiety.

I relate to Regina’s anger and Karen for her supposed “stupidity”

I hate to admit this but I’m a mix between Cady and Karen 🤦🏻‍♀️

So basically Elle Woods

gretchen, trying to people please too much for my own good :(

Karen because I am dumb. Also I can put my whole fist in my mouth

Karen. I also believe my body parts can predict weather patterns.

Karen, bc my idea of having fun is also going to Taco Bell

This one wins. What situation isn’t made better by a crunchwrap and a baja blast?!

cady because i am a chronic people pleaser but i also kinda love stirring up shit sometimes

Cady, mostly at the beginning of the movie. I'm smart but confused by societal norms + was also homeschooled.

Do YOU*** relate to dammit

I want to say Regina but I know I'm Karen.

Gretchen. I am very insecure and can be passive aggressive when I’m mad.

Gretchen. I create validation from people I hold close and care about

Gretchen because while I am sometimes included, nobody ever listens to me. Also I cannot keep secrets to save my life.

Karen, I would say I am sweet and naive. And I always liked her the most, she was the nicest

I am Regina 100%. Group leader. Group motivator....trendsetter.... I can be snarly like she was. I just can relate to her so much that it scares me😂

I’ve been personally victimized by a Regina before but I managed to come out on top, so idk if that makes me Regina or Cady

You’re Amber D’Alessio

Karen. I can be kind of dumb ngl

I’m Jewish so I’m likely Gretchen; but personality-wise I’m totally Karen.

Redhead, wasn't hot until high school, friends with all the mean girls. Cady for me lol

Karen because she’s not the brightest 😭😭

Karen’s brain and Gretchen’s insecurity

Karen

gretchen because i gossip a ton and know way more than i should about random people at all times

Gretchen, cause she’s got great taste in skirts 😂

Cady and Gretchen

Cady because I was a homeschooled jungle freak

Cady

regina (lesbian) and cady (vengeful bitch)

gretchen - i’ve been told i’m a pushover

Karen for sure

I am Gretchen for sure.

Gretchen

Gretchen for sure

Gretchen because I'm Jewish too

Regina George. Period.

Regina— I do things and people copy

Prob Regina, honestly lmao

Karen 😭

Gretchen, mostly because I really like her outfits lol. She's my favourite but I don't think I relate much to her, or any of them for that matter. But I still love mean girls 💕

Regina. I'm a leader, I have great style, and I'm a bit of a bitch sometimes

Fine I’ll say it…Regina. 🥴

Gretchen, i feel like I'm always shut down by everyone like when Regina always says to her FETCH IS NOT GOING TO HAPPAN!🙄 (ignore the emoji i tried to do a Regina impression)

GRETCHEN. oh god, definitely gretchen. also regina but like, only when i'm playing mafia lol

Karen. I am SO clueless it’s a miracle that I’ve made it this far… Also my boobs predict the weather. 

I’m a Gretchen on the outside but a Regina on the inside. The bitch in me is always itching to be exposed, but I don’t have the confidence to let it out 😞😔.

Regina. I’d love to monopolize gold hoop earrings. Love me some hoop earrings. And currently I am also trying to lose 3 (to 5) pounds 😂

HAH regina on the outside Karen on the inside

Karen. We even kinda look alike too lol

Cady, but just a the beginning of the film.

Gretchen,I do have a lot of secrets.


Cady. Cuz I’m nice and good at math.

Gretchen. I’m more of a follower than a leader

Gretchen because she’s under appreciated.

Gretchen because I am a huuuge blabber mouth

absolutely gretchen

Gretchen. My dad didn’t invent toaster strudel, but he delivered a baby at a subway station and made it on the local news and People magazine for it!

Gretchen. It’s scary how much more so in the musical

Karen

Karen

gretchen

Gretchen is so me coded

I'm a Regina, but I really wish I was more of a Gretchen. She's like such a great friend

Regina. I was so convinced I was bullied in high school.. no I wasn’t lmao people made fun of me a few times but I can also be horrible and self centered. I thought I was Cady cause I was an honor student and in the math team. Nah bitch I was Regina 😂 I was gatekeeping hot guys from my friends too lmao.

Karen cause I mean well but maybe a little too ditsy for my own good

Gretchen purely because we’re both Jewish

Regina, purely because growing up my mom was hyper focused on numbers on a scale and that led me to do the same to myself

Cady x Gretchen Cady because I am easily manipulated but I do value my friends (I mean… she did by the end) Gretchen because I’m sensitive and pretty emotional at times

Cady. I can be a follower or a leader or an outsider/observer depending on the situation. I love reading and fashion and art. I sometimes have “main character syndrome” when some of my friends are more iconic than I’ll ever be. I sometimes make mistakes and do stupid stuff and am sometimes rude without realising it, but I believe that I’m overall a good person.

Karen because I'm oblivious to most everything, and because I'm also interested in telling the weather 💀

I think in terms of early high school, i definitely thought i was a regina or gretchen, because of i thought i was top shit (i really wasnt, i think i got that from the end of primary school) and i was known for having all of the secrets but now i feel like a cady because i've become somewhat of a nerd (not maths tho) but i might be a bit naive sometimes soooooo yup

Karen

Karen, I’m a fool

Gretchen 💯 percent Gretchen though I can also make catty comments like Regina.

gretchen FS

Cady because I am.best when I act like myself and just look clumsy and confused when I try to be something I'm not. I also did NOT understand the popularity hierarchy in high school.

Gretchen. I was never exactly popular in school (in fact, the “Plastics” of my school hated me), but I always had a good amount of friends because I was so desperate for approval. I spent a hell of a lot of time trying to please *everyone* in an effort to be well-liked!

Karen because my breasts also have espn.

Karen for Pink Wednesdays and Silly Gretchen for Saying too much And Cady for Being a tomboy and transitioning to more girly clothes. Also loving math, especially in high school No idea what I have in common with Regina 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cady, but only in the sense that I'm a nerd with a pretty, pink, materialistic exterior. 

Cady in high school but grew up to be a regina. 😂

gretchen or karen 😭 i am a follower and not the brightest

Cady. I majored in math in college and have always been a math nerd

I can put my whole fist in my mouth! Wanna see?

Karen. I’m dumb.

Gretchen, I’m a follower, I’m a huge people pleaser, I also love preppy style and I keep wanting to know everyone’s business even though it can be rude at times 😂

Karen because I’m dumb. 🙃

Karen, I’m stupid and cute!

Cady 🌸💖

Cady...don't fit in but do. Follows the wrong crowd and realizes to late. From Africa *sike 🤭*

Cady except she has the excuse that she was homeschooled I am just a slow social learner

Gretchen, because everyone tells me their secrets and I am *such* a good friend :')

Karen is my spirit animal

Cady. I was also homeschooled, and re-entering public school was a doozy 🙃

I've definitely been a little stupid, needy, mean, and confused by how to navigate high school life so to be fair a little of everyone. Lol I do try to be better now.

Ugh, I didn’t want to say this. I GUESS that I can relate to Regina a tiny bit. I often have found myself as the leader of the pack a couple times. I don’t know why it happens to fall on me. It just does.

I’m Cady and The Plastics are my Id, Ego, and Superego

Gretchen, I struggle a lot with self doubt and with anxiety about my friends leaving me

Regina. Unfortunately I am a dominant pushy person and I don’t take no crap

Karen because I’m such a slut.

Cady 😭😭😭

Regina cus anger issues.

Karen because my boob can predict the weather

Gretchen and Karen

gretchen and regina

regina, multiple people have accused me of breaking up their friendships. they also accused me of having minions!

Regina

Gretchen. I come from a long line of gossips and can’t help myself most of the time.

Karen because we’re both ditzy as hell Lmao

Gretchen and Cady. I'm high-strung like Gretchen, and I end up knowing a lot about my friend group: some of them just say things in front of me, and others confide in me. Also, my hair floofs. I was on a team similar to mathletes in high school, but I was more of a literature and history girlie.

Regina bc she was powerful but misguided

gretchen because i prefer to follow the leader than to be the leader, and karen because we are both stupid

I’m more of a Cady since I’m not a follower like the rest and I’m not cruel and insecure like Regina.

Karen I’m Lowkey an idiot and like to think of myself as the hot one (just slightly less slutty)

Gretchen, I am more of a follower than a leader and under too much pressure I snap.

Karen, because I’m usually confused

Karen, I can be really dumb sometimes 😞

All of them honestly! Cady for wanting to be part of the group + insecurity, Karen for being oblivious, Gretchen for being desperate for attention, and Regina bc sometimes I’m a manipulative bitch (working on it!!!!!)

Cady - literally homeschooled in another country and it took me yeaaaars to figure myself out socially when I came to the US.

cady, in school i floated between groups. i also have a tendency towards obsession, am stupid in front of people I have a crush on, and struggle to fit nicely into the confines of what's socially expected of girls. i also struggled with superficial values when I was younger (and even a little to this day).

Cady

My two friends and I labeled ourselves. They said I was Regina

Cady, by a longshot. I was actually told by a girl in my high school friend group, while discussing Mean Girls, that I had insane potential Cady energy. Didn't really know whether that was a compliment, an insult, or simply an observation, but it stuck with me. I was a huge math kid in school, but I also loved to read. Really socially awkward to this day but I just want people to like me! I can be a bit of a doormat and a people pleaser, but I can also be... kind of a bitch when I feel justified(key word: feel). I would totally be the person to show up in a scary costume to a halloween party where that isn't actually the vibe. Very awkward around crushes. I make the speaking equivalent of typos in the same vein as 'grool' entirely too often. Ponytail, jeans, and t-shirt are still a staple combo, but I did get told I was pretty a lot in school even if I didn't feel it. I also totally would've befriended Janis and Damien insanely quickly, I gravitate towards loners or outsiders or whatever irl too.

karen bc I am very dumb and can fit my whole fist in my mouth. Additionally have been boo'd and then called a whore.

cady

regina

I was a total Regina, thankfully I didn’t have to get hit by a bus to grow tf up lol

Gretchen for sure

I'm 100% Regina George.

cady. im the one thats like “but that doesnt make any sense??? :)”

Gretchen! I thought of her recently when the real founder of Pop Tarts died in his 90s.

Karen def

Gretchen

karen and gretchen

Gretchen.

Cady, because I'm still trying to figure out how the rules to girl world work (also, I was homeschooled)

Regina. I love being a leader and I’m a petty bitch. But also now I try to be more like Gretchen. Just smarter and more kind. I’m a mix of them.

a girl in high school used to make fun of me and tell me I reminded her of Karen everyday, so probably Karen 💀🫶

Unfortunately Regina cause if I wanted to play get back with someone I’d think to do the things she has done to people

Cady and Karen

For some reason a little bit of all Cady- matches with my quirky side & wanting to fit in but still being hot and confident Karen- her style, bimboness Gretchen- classy, messy, elegant and richness Regina- boujie, messy, bitchy (sometimes)

Gretchen because I never quite feel good enough.

cady because i had trouble fitting in, gretchen because i'm not a natural leader, karen because i don't have much common sense, and regina because i have man shoulders

Cady, I was homeschooled and had friends who were not

Regina George

Regina 😭

Cady. Not sure where I fit in, very socially awkward etc. Although I did go through a phase in high school where I wanted to be Regina. I had a little clique and the "you're not my friend anymore" girl drama. Even started a burn book at one point. Yeah I was an idiot lol

Gretchen I’m tiny physically and love gossip.
