    Honestly, the best case scenario is to let things run their course. The kids would say meep a lot for a few minutes, and then it would get boring and they'd stop. But you turn it into a big deal? Weeeeelllll now, you've stirred up the young ideologues! "This is some fascist shit, man!" And now they will put their energies into something actually disruptive: tempest-in-a-teapot clamors over free speech.

    And not to say that it won't be justified, in some ways. Just let kids be silly every now and then as long as nobody and nothing gets hurt. Pranks are old as time. #meep

    @mbprice: Exactly-- just like if you ride a teen boy for not cutting his hair, you pretty much guarantee he will grow it as long and as messy and he can.

    Ignore it or tell him it looks good? He'll be bored with it within a month and will likely get it cut again...

    This reminds me of successful disruption of my high school caused by an AP physics class and the year long process in which they convinced everyone (except for wise AP Physics instructor) that they were Satanists and therefore shouted/whispered/mumbled/repeated the word "six" in varying voices perpetually throughout the day. As an observer, I found it hilarious. #meep

    I cringed the whole way through that 30 Rock episode wherein Liz finds out that she was the one bullying the "mean girls" the whole time. TOO CLOSE, TINA.

    For years, I thought I was this ostracized fat nerd who was persecuted for her brains and her ambitions; in reality, I was way more like an elitist megabitch who couldn't wait to get out of her "ugh, so pedestrian" hometown, who overreacted to some seriously weak-ass insults and exacted terrifying revenge every. Damn. Time. No wonder no one wanted to be my friend!

    I was my high school's version of Rahm Emanuel. Except WAY less cool. #meangirls

    The mean girls weren't nearly as huge an issue for me in high school as they were in my super-small elementary and middle schools. I'm facebook friends with the meanest of them all (curiosity wins every time I look at a friend request and decide whether to hit ignore or accept), and she now has fake boobs, a fake tan, and is about to become the trophy wife to a man whose oldest kid was born when she was in middle school taunting me. She keeps putting up facebook statuses about how she has the best life, and how she's so lucky in love, and all her photos involve her fiancé's boat, or huge beach house, or private box seats to Panthers games. But still: trophy wife with teenage stepchildren. It's about what I expected for her. #meangirls

    Most Mean Girls have selective memory. I'm thinking it's tattooed somewhere on the Mean Girl chromosome.

    I recall in the sixth form taking to task a fellow student who had been particularly mean spirited to me a few years earlier. She laughed it off claiming not to remember her acts of pure spite. Her memory lapse was either very convenient or else indicative of her total inability to have ever empathised with her erstwhile victim.

    When I think of high school, I think of the quote from Daria: "Why would I want to return to a place where I was flatteringly referred to as the weird kid?"

    My experience was not that mean girls terrorized me, but that I was simply not included or invited to anything. I was just not cool enough for unspecified reasons.

    I was pretty much a loner in high school (and can be now), and the result is that I haven't really kept in touch with anyone from high school (I'm only 6 years out of hs, most people I know in my age range still talk with at least a couple of people from hs). #meangirls

    @7states: Ditto.

    I made my best friend in high school b/c college (I was a commuter) didn't yield the opportunity to get to know many people, no matter how nice some kids in the smaller classes weree... kinda hurts when you know the group of kids you sidelined during four years of high school doesn't really include you now that you're older. Or rather, it hurts me. #meangirls
