Does 'Mean Girls' discourage or encourage bullying?
I am sitting Sitting on the couch, next to friends, laughing at the insane plot of "Mean Girls." On the screen, Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan, gives Regina George, played by Rachel McAdams bars to make her gain weight, and then the question pops into my head. Does "Mean Girls" produce a humorous twist on bullying, or does it encourage bullies watching?
Although this popular film was released in 2004, the year some SHS students were born, it still is enjoyed to this day. To many, this is a movie seen at least once. But, some question if this is promoting a positive message about bullying.
"I like 'Mean Girls' because it is such a funny and iconic movie. Almost everyone has watched it once, if not a couple times," said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.
Most people laugh at the hilarious stunts and "mean girl" attitude displayed by Gretchen Weiners, Regina George, and Karen Smith, but some may think this is not acceptable behavior, even in a movie.
Even though I think this movie is very funny and always makes me laugh at the stupidity of the characters and their small problems, I sometimes question if we should be promoting a movie that has immense bullying.
In addition, it does not just have bullies, it also has a character, Cady, who bullies Gretchen back as a way of revenge.
Since, to many, the bullying seems funny and harmless, especially since it is in a movie, to others, it may encourage them to pull similar tactics on their bullies, causing them to get in trouble or be put in more harm.
But, on the other hand, it can gives young kids, or even adults, a positive outlook on these important topics, or even teaches them.
"It reveals real-life themes like bullying, staying true to your friends and accepting people that are different," said Jade Stella, 11.
While it may give some the wrong idea, "Mean Girls" gives most people a humorous outlook on bullying, while still teaching them valuable life lessons. Since many people that have watched the movie have enjoyed it, it shows that most people do not get the wrong idea from this hilarious film.
Overall, this movie, although old, is still popular among SHS students. Also, most say this motion picture promotes a positive message to people all ages and is a great film to watch with friends.

People who have not been vaccinated Govit-19 About 85% were hospitalized France According to data released this Friday (30), the corona virus causes 78% of deaths.
Between May 31 and July 11, unvaccinated people accounted for 84% of regular hospital admissions and 85% of intensive care units (ICUs). Only 7% of fully vaccinated patients were included during this period.
At the time of the study, approximately 35% of the population had already been fully vaccinated and 45% had not yet received any vaccine doses. The proportion of people admitted to the hospital who are not vaccinated is 84% -85%, which is more than twice the proportion of those who are not vaccinated in the general population, depending on the type of admission.
The study involved multiple ministries by combining data from the results of Govt-19 tests, vaccines and routine or intensive care hospitals. "Recent hospitalizations are caused by people who have not been vaccinated," the report said.
For example, on July 11, 55 people who had not been vaccinated and 7 who had been vaccinated were admitted to 55 hospitals across France.
Of all deaths recorded in hospitals during this period – a total of 926 – between the end of May and June 11, 78% were from unvaccinated persons, 11% from fully vaccinated persons, and only 11% from those receiving the first dose.
The delta variation appears to be greater in control trials when patients come to the hospital, suggesting that this strain "causes a slightly higher rate of severe cases". However, the scope of the cases examined does not allow for general conclusions, the company that analyzed the data warns.
Currently, 7,236 people have been hospitalized in French hospitals, with 1,015 patients in intensive care units, 23 more than on Wednesday. In the last 24 hours, 25,190 new Govt-19 cases and 27 deaths related to complications caused by the virus were detected.

Ireland's journey to the final, cited by many as one of the greatest underdog stories in the world of sports, comes to a compelling conclusion when they face seven-time champions Netherlands in the final.
Ireland will face seven-time champions Netherlands in the final of the 2018 Women's Hockey World Cup. This is the first time ever that an Irish team has reached the final of any hockey world cup and it was also the team's first appearance in 16 years at the tournament. So low were their chances at the tournament that the team had made hotel bookings only until the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Ireland were ranked 16 at the start of the tournament. Never before have a team so lowly ranked made it to the final of a major hockey tournament, whether it be the Olympics, the World Cup, or the Euros for which Ireland are eligible. It was reported in the Irish Times that the players had to pay 550 Euros each for playing in the team.
Ireland last played a #WorldCup in 2002. Their players, as per Irish Times, pay 550 euros each to play for the national team. They are the second lowest team in the tournament (16). Now, they are in the semifinals. What a story! #hockey

The squad is made up largely of amateur players with the likes of Anna O'Flanagan, who scored for Ireland in the semi-final, Nikki Evans and Chloe Watkins all having to put their other full-time jobs on hold for playing in the tournament.
When you bring a group of women together who have a common passion, great things can happen. Ireland's hockey team – no funding – had to "pay their own way" to the Women's World Cup….and have made it to the final v Spain. Remarkable. Outstanding. ?? ???? pic.twitter.com/AtogKXWy4Q

People talked of England's millionaire footballers as "inspirational" and "heroes" for reaching #WorldCup semifinal.
Here is a group from all parts of #Ireland who have *had to pay their own way* to hockey's World Cup – and will play in the semifinal on Saturday.
Astonishing. pic.twitter.com/OTvSjlN4MM

There was good reason for Ireland to not plan beyond the quarter-final stage; the team have ever reached a semi-final at the World Cup. But on August 3 they managed to book their place in the final four by beating India on shootouts. Another shootout came, this time against Spain and once again, Ireland came out on top. "I've been asking the Dutch for three years for a bloody game and they won't bloody play us, so they don't have a choice now," Ireland coach Graham Shaw joked after the match.
