Example of Conformity in Mean Girls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmFtc6FsHtI&feature=related

Cady, who has been homeschooled her entire life, is forced to learn the rules of high school. She instantly makes friends with these two who were in the out crowd, Damian and Janis. Soon she meets the Plastics, the three prettiest, and most popular girls in school where she is immediately let into their group. She learns that she has to conform to all their rules such as being allowed to wear her hair up only once a week, wear pink on wednesdays, and wear jeans on fridays. If she were to break any of these rules, she would not be allowed to sit with them at lunch. Even though she hated Regina, she still wanted to be a part of their group and wanted them to like her because she did not want to risk social disapproval.
