'Girl Code' TV Show: Is 'Girl Code' Helping Or Hurting Young Girls?

When I first heard of the MTV show, Girl Code, I didn't think much of it. I was never a huge fan of MTV's programming anyway. After seeing this show blow up in popularity alarmingly fast, especially among middle school and high school aged girls, I decided to gather with my sister's friends in seventh grade and see what it was all about.The show was promoted as "ladies teach us that size isn't everything, self-control is key, and how to stay calm.". What wonderful messages to portray in an entertaining show for young girls! But, that's not really the case.I'm aware that this show is for entertainment purposes and is around to provide us with a few laughs, but taking this show's audience into consideration, Girl Code promotes Mean Girls-style behavior among school-age girls. If we want to decrease bullying and increase safety in our schools, this kind of stuff needs to be addressed.However, the show addresses the "size doesn't matter" issue quite nicely, until I saw a clip of the only plus-sized women in the cast, Nicole Byer, giving us a guide for how "bigger girls" can attract a guy. Telling girls to "watch what they wear,", to wear their make-up a certain way, and to be really sweet and smile a lot. Teaching girls that they need to act a certain way to attract a partner is a pretty dangerous message to be sending. We need to be promoting the concepts of healthy relationships to women, not promoting unhealthy ones.Most importantly, the show promotes girls''s hatred and cattiness towards each other.Promoting this behavior to middle school girls does not help the bullying crisis going on today. In my opinion this show kind of amuses me because the stuff they say is so stereotypical that makes you want to crack up the whole time but I'm not going to lie something's they say are actually true but it all depends on the type of girl etc, so we cannot always believe what they say all the time truthfully even though I doubt that any girl actually doesn't believe what they say.
