Despite how hilarious (and easily quotable!) the movie is, mean girls are a real life problem. According to statistics, over 3.2 million students are bullied each year.
Hello, it’s 2016! Everyone should have learned the golden rule by now: treat others how you want to be treated (You know, just in case you needed a refresher!).
Even Selena Gomez, 23, has been through drama with mean girls and revealed to TigerBeat exclusively how she overcame it all.
So, if you’re cringing right now at the thought of running into that one girl who makes you feel terrible about yourself, know that you’re not alone.
“I think everybody has dealt with mean girls,” the “Hands to Myself” singer reveals. “But my thing is, I don’t let them get to me at all. If you let them notice, like, ‘Oh, I’m sad because of what you’re saying’ that motivates them to keep saying even more mean things to you. So if you act like it doesn’t bother you, are confident in yourself and know who your true friends are, then you’ll be happy.”
