AT A GLANCE
Burn Books
Burn books gained a place in pop culture with the 2004 comedy film, “Mean Girls.” In the movie, high school girls fill a book with mean-spirited comments and photos about students they dislike.
The movie led to a rash of real and virtual burn books, including one at a Wallingford, Conn., preparatory school in 2010 where senior girls created a Facebook page ridiculing other students.
