In America, mean girls are always in style. US Netflix subscribers are rejoicing because Mean Girls is now available for streaming. The campy 90s movie Jawbreaker can be found on HBOGo. And, for some reason, the 80s classic Heathers has been made into a musical. 

I don’t know if these films are popular in the UK, or if there’s another set of films I don’t even know about … in which case, please tell me about the films I don’t know about. 

Advantage: High school in the US, because it’s really not that bad.

@katierogers speaking of american films based on high school, are there a lot of schools like the one in 'Saved!’ - cuz that school is weird

So this reader is referring to Saved, a 2004 film about a religious American high school starring Mandy Moore and Macaulay Culkin and some other people. I can confirm that in the US many high schools have giant statues of crucifixes and/or statues of Jesus on their front lawns. Come visit!
