M: A negative impact is made on her social life after Cady Heron deceives the people around her.
E: Cady Heron pretends to be friends with Regina George and the other “Plastics” when really she is plotting against them.
A: For example, Regina and her friends hate Cady when they find out that all along, she was against them rather than being a genuine friend.
A: In addition, The Plastics do not want anything to do with Cady since she stabbed them in the back after they had welcomed her to their table which was obviously a rare occurrence.
E: After the “Burn Book” is released, Cady takes the fall for it and when everyone finds out, they hate her.

A: Regina’s ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels, who Cady stole from Regina, thought whoever wrote the book was just a stupid girl who made up rumors because they were bored with their own lame life. He then found out that it was indeed Cady and was very disappointed, and didn’t want to associate with her.
T: Cady’s fake act backfired on her and caused everyone to hate her.

E: Her goal to fit in with “The Plastics” caused Cady’s grades to decrease.
A: For instance, before she had formulated her plan with Janice, Cady did very well in school especially in math. One of the aspects of the plan included breaking up Aaron and Regina and this required Cady to act stupid so she could lure him away from her.
A: Furthermore, Cady was thinking of joining the Matheletes but after talking about “The Plastics” about it they convinced her not to because it was “social suicide” even though this would have kept her focused on her academics.

M: Her new behavior caused her family and friends to no longer trust her.
E: Janice and Damien, the first two people who befriended her, lost their faith in her after she had been transformed.
A: For example, when asked by Janice and Damien if they could hang out together, Cady said that she had something devised to sabotage “The Plastics” which did not go along with the original plan. when Janice invited her to an art showing, Cady lied and said that she had to go to Madison with her parents. Janice and Damien found out she was throwing a party and was very angry that she had lied to them in order to live her fake life rather than spend time with them.
A: Furthermore, when Janice invited her to an art showing, Cady lied and said that she had to go to Madison with her parents. Janice and Damien found out she was throwing a party and was very angry that she had lied to them in order to live her fake life rather than spend time with them.
E: When the truth came out that Cady was secretly against “The Plastics” all along, Regina did not trust her anymore.
A: For instance, at the assembly that was held for all of the girls involved, Janice told everyone the truth about Cady which resulted in Regina being furious with Cady and fleeing the school.
A: In addition, Regina no longer socialized with Cady because of her betrayal after she had allowed herself to be vulnerable around Cady by bestowing trust in her.
T: Cady’s choice to abandon the trust of her friends and family negatively affected her.

Her decisions regarding her social life, priorities, and trust caused Cady to have to deal with some difficult consequences. She acted fake which caused her peers to hate her. Cady’s attempt at being a popular girl backfired on her. In high school, it can be difficult to fit in and also stay true to who you are. The choices we make and the chances we take can affect everyone around us and even change our entire lives.
