The Deadbolt: About her character Jo in Mean Girls 2 - "Jo is pretty different from Katie, Lindsey Lohan’s character, because Katie comes from Africa and had been home-schooled her whole life. It’s really her first experience socializing with people her own age, whereas Jo has moved around the country a lot and has been to every high school and experienced every bad situation that high school can offer. She knows what she’s doing. She knows her way around. She goes into North Shore High determined to just get good grades, graduate, and move on to college."

About bullying - "I think everybody has been bullied in their own way. Luckily, I’ve never had anything quite as severe as this movie demonstrates. But I definitely had girls backstabbing or lying or cheating or stealing or whatever, just little things. Boy drama that’s caused by your friend and you liking the same guys, stuff like that, but luckily nothing extreme...My advice is to think about what situation your bully is in. Maybe it’s at home things aren’t going well, or at school things aren’t going well. You can’t judge anybody until you’ve taken the time to understand their situation. So, think about what’s making them bully you. Are they asking for attention? What are they saying? If that doesn’t help, then I definitely say go to a trusted parent, older sibling, teacher, anybody who you think could help you out" (Troy Rogers, Feb 2011). Inside Mean Girls 2 with Meaghan Martin

Bullying is an abusive treatment, the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when habitual and involving an imbalance of power. It may involve verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed persistently towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "targeted individual" (Wikipedia).
