I think that the main point of the movie Girls Like Us was to show examples of how different lifestyles could have an impact on young girls growing up today. The documentary did a great job showing the girls at different important stages in their lives mainly going through high school so we got to see how strong their goals were at the beginning, and how they changed with time and maturity. It showed how family history and ethnic diversity has an important role in the lives of young girls.
