I spent my high school years in an all-girls school, so I guess I have adequate knowledge about mean girls in general. They are not the typical pretty-in-pink gals that strut along the hallways. They come in different forms. It sounds scary, but again, they come in different forms; meaning not all mean girls are necessarily bullies. So what defines a mean girl? Attitude. They have tendency to appear rude, condescending, selfish, or simply stuck-up (intentionally or unintentionally). They're mean with or without the PMS. In order to understand their entire being, we need to be educated with what I call, the "Intensity Scale". This measures the magnitude of a girl's mean level (which will be discussed, shortly).
There are four levels, each containing five sub-levels. First is the basic. She's mean, but her actions do not always affect others. Touchy are usually the annoying mean girls, where their mannerism or social skills are starting to have a negative effect on you. The toxic mean girl is starting to become harmful in a way they terrorize other people, but they still remain sane and they have their own reasons. Finally, we have a mean queen which is a whole new different being. She's mean with no decent reason. Without further adieu, here are the types of mean girls. This post does not intend to generalize all mean girls. Every mean girl is unique, which is why I will only cite a few, all of them representing each level.

She appears mean and she certainly acts like it. But in reality, she's not all that. She only has a particular way of handling things, and it is likely that her lifestyle shall not be easily compared to most. In the Philippines, she is mostly seen as "maarte". The type who thinks she has OCD, but in reality, she just gets easily grossed out on things she is not very familiar with. If things don't go her way, that's when she frowns and bitches out. It could be because your school cafeteria did not cook the food the right away (in her opinion), or the mall does not have her most preferred Asian restaurant. She is most likely a very detailed person and has the talent to keep everything on track. Is she a bitch? Not necessarily. Actually, might as well take it easy on this specific type of girl. She obviously had a very posh and privileged upbringing. So don't judge her when she can't handle overflowing trash. Just as long as you keep a certain distance from her when you interact, and she is able to buy a drink that is perfectly blended with the right bendy straw, then you won't have to worry about experiencing a bitchfit. But really, she's harmless. For what it's worth, they tend to look very appealing, thanks to their picky taste in clothes.

Just imagine you had the greatest day ever. It was so great, it almost seemed like nothing can spoil your mood. Then this person comes along and tells you, "My life sucks. You should feel sorry for me." and suddenly, the best day you ever had was forgotten. For some reason, they're so negative. And sometimes their negativity easily rubs off on you. Everything you are saying, they fill it up with the down side to it. You know you are talking to this specific mean girl when the crappy feeling slowly reaches the surface. Also this girl is not that hard to find on Facebook, because she's (or at least attempts to be) highly critical. She's most likely the one who typed this long Facebook status about what she thinks of the whole Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus fiasco at the VMAs. She's the girl in the comments section who sends hate to random celebrities or even ordinary people. Then suddenly you feel as terrible as this person. They're harmless too, but their words of discouragement can get very annoying. It's like they're only purpose is to rain on your parade 24/7.

If you're that kind of person that needs everything to besugarcoated, then best to avoid this girl. She tells you everything you do not want to hear. The truth hurts, but it will hurt even more when someone as frank as her says it. She ain't afraid to tell you how ugly you looked in that prom dress. She ain't afraid to tell you directly what somebody else thinks of you. She ain't afraid to tell you how awful you are at something. And above all, she doesn't care if you get affected by what you said because she know she speaks the truth. Basically, this mean girl has the lowest sensitivity rate of them all, she's most likely the girl who does not think twice about anything. She just--as Shia Laboeuf always says--does it. It pays to have this kind of person around, but their tongues are sharper than any blade you can think of. Whether she says it with a smile or a frown, always brace yourself. Because it ain't going to be pretty. Honesty is the best policy, but not when it comes with no sprinkle of sincerity.

Remember that girl who yells and screams right in your face? Ever thought that after yelling twenty-four times a day, they end up sounding inhuman? That's the gremlin. It's not hard to tell if a mean girl is the gremlin type. She's very outspoken about almost everything. She has a built-in megaphone in her voicebox and she always announces what she is about to do even if nobody cares. Not only that, they're extra intense when they're seriously angry. They will constantly yap at your face about everything you did wrong, and it will just keep on coming like random punches to the face. If there is an actual sport for talk smacking, they are the automatic champions. But take it too hard on them. As touchy as they are, they're also very sensitive and emotional. This explains the passion resonating in their tone. The solution to shutting them up remains a mystery to me. The only person who can defeat a gremlin, is well...another gremlin.

5.) The Punisher (Intensity Level: Toxic, 13)
Candidate: Regina, Once Upon a Time
If you encounter this girl in your lifetime, then best to avoid her path unless you have the guts. This girl is unpredictable, because she doesn't have the time to explain to you what pisses her off. So if you somehow get to their bad side, best be prepared for the payback she has for you. It can either ruin your life, or ruin your life. The Punisher is very mysterious and she is always two steps ahead. She does this because she either doesn't want to be belittled. She wants everyone to know that no one should mess with her or bully her. They may not have the air of mystery enveloped around them, so might as well exercise your judgment of character. If this girl is a fighter, then she is most likely the vengeful type. Their style also varies, so try to look out for that.

Being a fangirl is like being in a different world and being in the actual world, at the same time. Only, you are more focused on what is happening in the other world. I think it's safe to say that if senpai is being threatened, the natural stimuli of a fangirl would be to heavily defend him or her or them. And the defense would almost sound like offense, because it becomes too aggressive for comprehension. Mean words are being exchanged, as well as threats. This happens a lot online, and it is very easy to spot them in any social media platform. And their only reason for them to act like hungry jaguars is because someone said this guy they admire is a slut. Luckily, they're not hard to ignore. They are labeled as drama queens that are not even worth your time.

The menstrual cycle gives us feelings that we thought we would never feel. It was thanks to this, that I was able to feel anger and depression at the same time. When it comes to having our period, common sense no longer exists. All that's left is the great pain right underneath the belly area. It hurts so bad, that all you ask is for it is to stop. The saddest part is that there is no solution. And it becomes frustrating. What I said is almost an understatement. Having your monthly period is no joke, unfortunately.
