It’s actually more interesting than you might expect, and can be relatable to our own everyday lives in surprising ways. So let’s take a deeper look to unpack what’s really going on by taking a closer look at some on screen icons who have done it well (like Euphoria's Maddy, Mean Girls' Regina George, Abbott Elementary's Principal Ava & more) and those for whom it didn't go so well (like Mean Girls' Cady, to Euphoria's Cassie, to Jessica from Too Much & beyond)
