This might not be "Mean Girls" or something of that ilk, but the plot for many high school movies played out in real life at the Canarsie school in Brooklyn last month.

According to the NY Daily News, several teenagers in a disbanded cheerleaders squad attacked rival cheerleaders in a Brooklyn high school on Dec. 18.

“The wild brawl, captured on cell phone video and posted on social media, exploded into a fist-flying, hair-pulling melee that quickly overwhelmed school security and continued for several minutes before staff members were able to shut it down,” the report noted.

Yes, there’s video evidence of the melee. Watch at your own discretion as these teenage girls get into it big time.

What in the world is even happening here? This is "Bring It On" mixed with "Hellcats" and taken to a completely R-rated level.

The alleged victims in this brawl are apparently suing the instigators.

“This is a school that’s known to have a lot of violence, and there was only one security person who was there and she couldn’t handle it,” the attorney, Marcel Florestal, said. “No one is secure in a situation like that. The school is not supervised.”

Sadly, it appears that bullying has been a major issue at the school, and it definitely played a role here. According to the above-mentioned report, 54 percent of students at the school said that bullying was commonplace. That’s compared to a citywide average in New York City of 37 percent.
