Girls used to be referred to as the composition of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Yet, Mean Girls and Rock of Love present a different side to the present typical American girl.
The title, Mean Girls, satisfies the description of girls today. The girl loves you to your face, but can’t stand you once you turn your back. She tells you that your new jeans look cute, but tells her friend that they are way too tight as you walk away. The typical girl of today makes other girls cry more than a boy ever has.
In an AOL survey, 79 percent of those polled agreed that girls are meaner than boys. With that said, how did sugar, spice, and everything nice transform into something worse than boys that cuss, spit and tell dirty jokes all the time? My guess is that just as most boys have lost track of how to be a man, girls have lost the motivation to be a lady.
I blame this on society. The reality shows that cover the television screen contain nothing but testimonials that bitch about other people. It is then that it becomes normal and acceptable in society to trash people behind their backs.
Next you have your famous talk shows, which show nothing but girls cussing about who their baby’s daddy is. This sarcastically sets the tone of the lady that girls should strive to become.
An explanation can also be seen when you open up any magazine. Here you will find the worst dressed, worst hair-cuts and the latest gossip about who looks the worst in their bikini. This encourages girls to make fun of another girl’s hair, clothes and weight – without feeling an ounce of remorse.
I challenge the girls of today to break away from being an immature girl, and gain the class of the past to call herself a lady.
A lady does not necessarily dress up in heels, speak with proper grammar seven days a week or cover her mouth every time a cuss word accidentally pops out. Rather, a lady conducts herself in a manner that enables her to view her actions with pride. A lady keeps confrontations within the people it involves, tells her friend that she needs to change if her shirt is too tight and acts with too much class to sit in a testimonial while trashing her supposed “friends.”
Mean Girls and Rock of Love are on the television screen for a reason. Rather than being a point of imitation for females in our society, let us view it as inspiration to act as a lady.
Girls used to be referred to as the composition of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Let us find our way to the root of our classification and learn to be a lady.
