Every school or office has a few mean girls who are just plain nasty. If you are being picked on by a mean girl, you are not alone. Many girls have been picked on at school.
The mean girl thinks she is the queen bee and prances around like she owns the place, in charge of everyone and everything. Middle school and high school can be awkward times for teens, who are going through a lot of changes and want to fit in.
Often the mean girl will target someone who she thinks is an easy mark, somebody she thinks won’t respond when she singles them out. Be prepared the next time she tries to embarrass you in front of others and have a comeback ready.
Often when you respond with a comeback, the mean girl will move on to someone else who she thinks is an easier target.
Here is a top ten list of snappy comebacks you can use on mean girls. These comebacks should leave the nasty girl a little startled that someone snapped back.

Definition of a mean girl?
A mean girl is a term used to describe a female who is mean to others, found mostly in schools and workplaces. These women don’t actually inflict physical harm but rather attack a person through verbal abuse and non-stop bullying.
And because mean girls are up there in the social hierarchy, they sometimes get a pat on the back for their tyranny. All the same, they use their popularity to intimidate and manipulate people.
While it’s cool to be friends with the cool crowd, hanging out with the mean girls is emotionally draining and damaging. You might have to set some boundaries to not get sucked into their toxic behavior.
How to deal with a mean girl
If you watched the hit movie “Mean Girls,” you know too well that dealing with these girls requires human superpowers such as patience and kindness.
Unfortunately, we can give you that, so let’s just settle with tips in the meantime.
1. Don’t engage with the mean girl
If you can pretend these mean girls are invisible, do it, just do not engage with them.
We know how hard it is to ignore someone who’s repeatedly cruel to you, but you must not pay attention to them. That’s exactly what they’re trying to get out of you.
2. Stay calm
When you run into a bad conversation with a mean girl, try to stay calm.
Don’t tap into your emotions when dealing with them, it will only make things worse.
3. Set boundaries with mean girls
You’re only human. Of course, there are going to be moments when you lose that emotional grip. If that ever happens, you should protect yourself and set some boundaries.
Stay in your place and limit your interactions with the mean girls. Try to avoid conversations that can stir emotional outbursts.
4. Communicate
Have you heard about the adage that “communication is the bridge between confusion and clarity?”
There’s truth to that. So, you must want to try this one out when dealing with a mean girl.
Have a comfortable conversation with the mean girl and discuss that certain behavior you feel offended about.
5. Seek support
Negative people scatter negativity in their wake. To ward them off, you need to be surrounded by positive people who can bring motivation and cheerfulness back into your life.
Mean girls will try to be difficult — it’s what they do best. So, every time you deal with them, try to be “the better” person. Hold on to your values and don’t give them the satisfaction of getting a reaction from you.
Your new strategy is to pretend they don’t exist. It will be challenging, but you can do it.
Jessica Alba was bullied by mean girls at school
I’d I eat my lunch in the nurses’ office so I didn’t have to sit with the other girls. Apart from my being mixed race, my parents didn’t have money so I never had the cute clothes or the cool back pack. – Jessica Alba
If you asked almost any grown woman if they were ever picked on by a mean girl at school they would probably tell you yes. Mean girls have been around since the beginning of time. You are not alone.

Famous people who have been called a mean girl
With the world at the palm of their dainty hands, mean girls are rampant in Hollywood.
Here are the famous females who are part of the mean clique.
1. Regina George
Regina George is not a real person, but a fictional character who deserves a spot on this list. Who could ever forget the pretty girl with blonde hair in a skimpy skirt?
Regina is the old-school Queen Bee who made Cady’s (Lindsey Lohan’s character in the movie) school life a living hell.
2. Paris Hilton
Socialite Paris Hilton has been constantly dragged as the “mean girl.” She’s being criticized for being entitled and for her snide comments on others.
Blonde, rich and pretty, Paris sure fills the checklist of how a mean girl in real life would be perceived.
3. Taylor Swift
It’s hard to think of Taylor Swift as a mean girl —she just looks like the perfect role model. Needless to say, she’s been accused of behaving like a mean girl in the past.
Allegedly, the “Blank Space” hitmaker used her sweet persona to manipulate the public and be outright mean to fellow celebrities.
4. Naomi Campbell
Bad-tempered and difficult to work with, are the words commonly associated with Naomi Campbell.
In the span of her long career, Naomi headlined the behind-the-scenes fashion shows for being rude to other models. She’s a legendary supermodel who certainly loves to have things her way. And when she doesn’t, she’ll go on her mean girl’s streak.
5. Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is a diva, not just on stage, but in real life too. The award-winning singer has had issues with other musicians over the years. And if you know Mariah, she freely speaks her mind, no matter who gets hurt.
6. Lindsay Lohan
The irony is that, in the film, Lindsay Lohan plays the girl bullied by the mean girls. In real life, however, the former teen queen is the privileged girl who does the bullying.
7. Ariana Grande
Just recently, Ariana Grande faced bullying allegations from a former Nickelodeon star. According to the grapevine, little Miss Ariana is difficult to work with, acting like a diva on set and being mean to other celebrities.
Our thoughts: Perhaps, the “Thank You, Next” singer has a hard time separating her on-stage diva persona from her real life.
8. Lea Michele
Seems like everyone in the TV series “Glee” has a problem with Lea Michele’s mean girl behavior.
As the star of the show, Lea constantly showed everyone who’s boss by criticizing her co-stars when she felt like it. There was even a time she refused to film a scene unless she had it her way.
If that’s not mean girl personified, we don’t know what is.
Being face-to-face with a mean girl can be a bit scary. They always have a way of making you feel less about yourself.
But fret not, as long as you know your fundamental rights as a person, you’re going to be okay.
Remember, if a situation is hurting you emotionally and mentally, make haste and remove yourself from that relationship.

Hey bryn it’s cece
Hey CeCe, do you need hlep with a comeback?
this boy at my school, that is in 6th grade with me, keeps on calling me fishhead :(:(. Or maybe i should tell the teacher cuz it aint gonna end
Hi Chrissy,
For starters I think you should tell your teacher what is going on. Your teacher is going to want to know when it happened and who was there, so think about it and be ready to give him / her an answer.
Some people are jerks, and just don't get the hint. If the idiot keeps insulting you try a few of these.
Here are some things you can say if he keeps doing it:
1) Coming from the person who has a face not even a mother could love.
2) You're not exactly an oil painting yourself.
3) I would love to insult you but I’m afraid I wouldn’t do as well as nature did.
Good luck and let me know if you need anything further.
Jax
Help me! This bitch is stealing my babe!
Tell them just cause they sell like fish
Hiya here is something to say….
If. Wanna steal my boyfriend it’s probably because ur too pathetic and lonely to get ur own
Or…..
Ur too poor to get ur own
And if she insults u then say I was gonna insult u back but I can’t do as well as nature did
Tell her, “u can have him, my parents always taught me to give my unwanted toys to the less fortunate!”
If you wanted the momma joke here are some of them.
1) yo momma so stupid she climbed over a glass window to see what’s on the other side

Here is something you could say to somebody
( so if someone says some thing like…) you stink take a shower or something ( haha I don’t know what to put there). You could say “wow real mature”.

Help my daughters needs help how to deal with this bitch that keeps whispering in her friends ear and giving my daughter filthy looks as she walks past
Hi Vicky, it can be very painful as a parent to see your child being picked on by a mean girl.
Here are a few things that she can say to the girl to let her know she needs to back off, without being too agressive. Quite often when you call someone out publicly, and make them look like an idiot, they move on to a target who won’t respond.
1)Where’s your off button?
2) It would be nice if your mouth had a snooze button.
If the girl continues to talk about her she can try a few of the Comebacks on these pages.

Hey Bryn,
So there is this guy who goes to school with me and he always calls me short even though he is only like an inch taller than me. Also he always makes fun of me because he knows who I like so he always makes fun of me for that. Can you please help me??
Thanks,
Mtenags
This post will help you for short commments: https://ishouldhavesaid.net/2012/10/youre-so-short-snappy-comebacks-for-short-people/
When he makes fun of you for liking someone say:
Where’s your off button.
You would be much more likable if it wasn’t for that hole in your mouth that noise comes out of.
Good luck,
Bryn
say to a mean girl “sorry i didn’t ask for a glass of your opinion.” and “i don’t sugercoat shit, I’m not will wonka.” and the most annoying remark ever is saying just “ok.” thanks x
