they were jealous of Vanessa

She was not close to fat but very skinny and the girls were mad that the boy liked Vanessa instead of the other girl. Every time Vanessa tried to ask them what was wrong, they could not give her an answer but to do these awful things to her and then play innocent. It was pure jealousy. Especially when girls call another girl fat who is clearly skinny and rips on her hair and calls her slut when she was not slutting, pure sign of envy and seriously, jealously like that could turn deadly. I know this is only a movie but trust me this crap really happens. This is how school shootings happen too

Oh and after she almost died from overdosing on sleeping aids, because of them, they made fun of her calling her a druggie when she OD'ed on sleeping aids because of them. Suicidal because of them. If she would have died, they would have not had any empathy or regrets. But if Vanessa did something horrible to them after everything they put her through, Vanessa would be called a disgusting person or something and put away. You wonder why kids take the law into their own hands some times?

I think you're absolutely right. Nikki was the one who was jealous of Vanessa (in my opinion)..she was jealous that Stacy liked Vanessa more than her, did things for Vanessa and even bought her things. She was jealous that Vanessa was better in school and more people liked her because she was nice. It's really disgusting that girls act like this towards each other

Exactly! I think that in the past, the kinds of kids who were bullied tended to be really heavy, or awkward looking in some way. Nowadays, I think more and more kids who are pretty and smart end up being targeted the most. The more recent bullying cases I've heard about in my community seem to suggest that this is true.

In this particular movie, Vanessa was cute, she got straight A's, the boys liked her, and on top of it all, she was a nice kid. She had everything going for her, and for someone like Nikki, that drove her nuts. Granted, Nikki was a very pretty girl, but she was also a b*tch, and a lot of kids obviously didn't like her because of it. Vanessa, on the other hand, was beautiful AND had a likable personality, so she was way ahead of Nikki. It's too bad Vanessa didn't realize that from the beginning.

Nikki was ugly and needed to get those nasty eyebrows tweezed very badly. :D

Nikki was very pretty and smart. WTF! If she felt insecure or jealous, it was up to her to up the ante, step up her program.

Vanessa was nice and likeable - Nikki could have doubled that. Nothing wrong with competition.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
