Our intern picks up a little advice
from Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls
By Ashley Ebner
In high school, I learned that telling someone what you think of someone else leads to conflict —
I was joking around with one of my good friends and made up a nasty rumour. Next thing,
the whole school was talking about it. “Don't spread nasty gossip unless you're ready to get the
same in return,” says Lindsay Lohan, star of the hit movie, Mean Girls.
In the movie, Lindsay comes
from playing with monkeys in Africa to hanging out with the bitchiest girls in school, who are so
insecure they only feel good about themselves by putting others down. But things get hairy when
they mess with Lindsay’s crush. “If you don't have anything nice to say — be careful who hears you
say it,” says Lindsay.
I eventually decided to take Lindsay’s advice and waved a white flag (I didn’t
actually wave a flag). I am not “a pushover” but avoided my conflict in school from going any
further. "Girls like the drama. It gives them something to do in high school. It's enjoyable to get
involved with drama ... but then when you get older it's kind of a hassle. It's just not something
that's not fun to deal with."
