Is it OK to be mean to mean girls?

We’re pretty sure mean girls have existed since the dawn of time. We don’t like it, but yeah, they seem to be a fact of life. Now that society’s gone viral, though, mean girls aren’t quite as safe from criticism as they used to be.

 

First there was Rebecca Black. Now, a duo called Double Take has released a music video for their song, “Hot Problems.” It’s not meant to be good; the girls, both 17, admit to that. But what seems to be getting the most attention isn’t the quality of the singing but the lyrics themselves. Here’s a sampling: “Boys call me stuck up; girls say I'm conceited, on behalf of all hot girls, those comments aren't needed.”

 

Take a look at the video…


 

The two L.A. natives are self-proclaimed hotties. So predictably, much of the commentary surrounding the video questions their appearance. Girls and guys alike have dished it out, calling them wanna-be porn stars, dudes in drag and all varieties of ugly.

 

We all have a right to free speech, but here’s our question: These girls might be queen bees, mean girls, the girls that pick on everyone else. They could be perfectly sweet, too—we can’t say as we don’t know them personally. But on principle, is it OK to be mean to mean girls? And how mean is too mean?

 

We wanna know what you have to say about this issue that comes up over and over again.  CLICK HERE to take our mean girl survey, and feel free to tell us what you think in the comments.

They must have big egos to post this on YouTube!!!!!!!!! It is kinda snotty and stuff. Btw they don't have great voices.
Though I wouldn't call them any names.. They are kinda pretty.

Well, here's my take on it: it would be semi-legit if it was a song against stereotypes, with lyrics along the lines of "just because I'm blonde has to mean that I'm dumb," but it's not. At the end, they say "Just kidding! We're perfect." Um, reality check. Your voice isn't so hot, you have the time to make stupid, degrading videos, and now the world thinks you're pretty awful.
As for can you be mean to a mean girl, yes. IF, they are personally hurting you on more than one occasion, or if they are being mean to someone who a) can't defend themselves or b) is someone you are close to. I would tell off a mean girl if she insulted me all the time!

okay
1. mean girls are like mushrooms, cut them down and they come back worse, so stand up for yourself but dont be MEAN
2. they need a reality check, theyre pretty but the way they act totally overrides that
3. their social life probably took a huuuuuge blow from this, now they probably have REAL problems

Here's my philosophy.
1)They hit you, it's okay to hit 'em back. If they are being personally mean to you or someone you love, it is perfectly fair to get up in their face and be mean to them.
2) If it's someone who is much more physically or emotionally stronger than the person they are picking on, then it's okay to step in. (That whole 'stomp out bullying' thing.)

Otherwise, if they're not doing anything to REALLY hurt anyone - like these girls aren't - then why does it matter? Why should we care if they want to spend their free time making stupid music videos about how they're better than everyone else? It's their lives.

This video is kind of telling everyone who doesn't know them, that they are self-absorbed and snooty. But, I sure don't give a crap... They don't seem like wanna-be-porn-stars. They just seem like girls who made a really weird video.
