The hit Broadway musical “Mean Girls” is a spin-off of Tina Fey’s 2004 movie based on American teenage girls, specifically, acting — well, naturally.

No one has to reach very far back to pull out the painful memories of being teased or ridiculed by their peers. As the mother of two young daughters, Fey, a comedienne, actor, and writer, knows all too well how today’s world of social media can blow a thoughtless remark out of proportion.
