Tina Fey<\/a> struggled with boys at school because she was a “nerd”.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tina Fey had her own ‘Mean Girls’ moments at school<\/p>\n
The ‘Mean Girls’ creator – who has brought the musical adaptation of the 2004 teen comedy blockbuster to the big screen this year – has admitted she didn’t have much luck finding a boyfriend as a kid.<\/p>\n
She told Australia’s WHO magazine: “I was a total nerd. A theatre nerd. I was all big hair and turtle-neck sweaters. I had no luck with boys whatsoever but I was a pretty good student.”<\/p>\n
The 53-year-old former ‘SNL’ writer and cast member also confessed she could be a “mean girl” like Regina George at school and that she faced her fair share of bullies.<\/p>\n
She said: “Yeah, there were real “Mean Girls” in my life back in my high school days, for sure.<\/p>\n
\nIn hindsight, I was maybe a “Mean Girl” to some degree for a while. I remember being a freshman and an older girl coming up to me. She told me I was pretty and when I thanked her she was like, ‘Oh, so you think you’re pretty?’ It was a trap and I knew it.<\/p>\n
\nBut Janis’ storyline of being sucked into the whole revenge thing, sitting at the back of the class, talking about everybody else was definitely something I experienced.<\/p>\n
\nThankfully, I got out of it. I’m 53 now, but I still think about it. I think all women, all people, have a Mean Girls moment to remember. You’ve either been mean, been a victim of meanness or both.”<\/p>\n
\nTina – who has daughters Alice, 18, and Penelope, 12, with producer husband Jeff Richmond – says it’s harder on young people today with social media making it easier to pick on people.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I have daughters, I know they do. It’s a lot and with social media it’s all the time now. And it’s not just girls and teenagers.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s everywhere. I actually think women are doing better now, but I think Mean Girls behaviour has kind of spread to everyone. That kind of relational aggression is everywhere.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
