The first part, the Introduction, takes place when we are introduced to Cady Heron, as the protagonist. The film takes us through her first few days at a real high school, after being home schooled in Africa her whole life. After a few rough days of trying and failing to make friends, Cady finally befriends some other outcasts, Janice and Damien, who teach her the dynamics of high school. The first plot point, or mini-climax, takes place when Cady, Janice, and Damien plot to sabotage the school's popular clique of girls, the Plastics.
This begins the Complication section of the movie, in which Cady becomes a part of the Plastics and reports all of her findings to Janice and Damien, as they plot their next move. Slowly, Cady gets wrapped up in living the life of a Plastic, and starts turning into the Queen Bee. After the group succeeds in taking down the original Queen Bee, Regina George, Cady herself becomes the new "Mean Girl." Plot Point number two takes place when Cady has a party at her house and skips Janice's art show. Janice and Damien then show up at her house, proclaiming her a "mean girl."
The Climax of the movie occurs when the Plastics' "Burn Book," full of mean things bashing the other girls, boys, and even teachers at their school, is turned into the Principal. Of course, this is after Regina has posted copies all around the building for everyone to read. The school then goes wild as girls fight with each other and accuse each other of writing the pages from the book. All of the girls are then called to an emergency assembly in which they discuss their feelings and try to work through the drama. Cady and Regina get in a fight and Regina ends up getting hit by a bus. People then spread rumors that Cady was the one who pushed her in front of the bus, and the whole school turns against her.
The third act, or Resolution, occurs when Cady starts to come back to her senses. She takes all the blame for the "Burn Book" and joins the Mathletes as her punishment, where she actually ends up winning the competition. She goes to the Spring Fling dance and wins Spring Fling Queen and gives a nice speech trying to make it up to everyone. She dances with and kisses the "hottie" she had a crush on, and everyone learned their lesson about cliques and mean girls.
